There are so many brands out there in the market  like our favorite shoes  Nike,  Addidas, etc.   So with our wished to own cars like BMW,Jaguar, Mini Cooper (my favorite car). What makes these brands so popular in the market? Why every time you heard the word burger the first thing that comes up with your mind is Mcdonalds or Jolibee.?

There’s something in them that make us remember them all the time, they are there imprinted in our subconscious mind that control our decision making.  Maybe the quality, the unique features or the integrity of the products as presented in the market.

Make Your Facebook Friends Happy!!

Facebook Tagging Tips

Facebook is a great tool in developing relationship online because you can interract with people freely. But you have to be careful because your activity on line might build or damage relationship with other person.

For example when you tagged people in a pictures make sure that person looks good in that picture...why? the reason why people post thier picture on line because they want to be appreciated right?

they want to show people that they look good! let's be honest about it no one will post a picture so that people will laugh at them...Unless something wrong is going on. But if you tagged a picture of your friend that he or she looks good. Promise she will thank you like crazy.....=)We need to be sensitive on other peoples feeling weather offline or online...Leadership and  success is all about relationship...

"Take risks: If you win, you will be happy; if you lose, you will learn to be wise."

Why people are afraid of taking risk of  fighting for their dreams?  Even they know that  the result that they want  can be achieved by taking some risk .  Some of us are afraid to fail, that’s why they don't even try to do the things that they want to do.  Or some of us are afraid of what might other people will say  and this is one  of my problems  before.  I’m so much attached with what might other  will say of me.  But if you really think about it,  why are you afraid of what other people will say about you?  In fact, this is your life and you only live this life once.  Then why not start living your  life.   Every time  I encounter this feeling I always asked my self  where am  I committed to?  To my dreams or to the opinions of other people..?  In fact opinions are cheap and my goals are not, so why should I let myself be stopped by cheap opinions of other people instead of focusing in my goals and dreams.

Is failure really a failure?  Well for me there’s no such thing as failure .  If you fail at least you can do better next time and  become  wiser  enough. To me failure is when  you dare not  try and  you never learn from your mistakes if ever  there will be.  Mistakes are  GOOD when you learn from them.   Every risk you take is a success regardless of the result, it’s a win win situation...so,  If you know that you gonna win why are you afraid to take risk.  By not trying and not taking risk, is already the big risk you ever  did in your life.  So Take action now and fight  for  your goals and plans...

I Run To Finish The Race

This Is my first time to Join a marathon and It is a 10k Run.. I dont have any preparation  and my friend said  Kaya kaya natin yan?.... and I answer I don't know and I dont care, all I want is to finish the race.

So we joined the race.  During the race you can feel the pain and  your legs are tired..and your brain starts  complaining. But  my friend and myself  were  really determined to finish the race we didn’t care if we win or lose,  what was in our  minds was to finish it, and we did it.   Obviously we did not win but at least we did not finished last.=)

I can relate this to our goal in life. In any race winning is the game but if you want to win, preparation is important.  We did not win because we did not have  preparation and proper training. Those people who finished first  were  the ones who prepared well and had the training. And of course they  were the ones enjoying  the prize and that is life.

Our goal as I previously said is like a race.  When you want to achieve your desired goal,  you also need preparation and likewise proper training.  It is the preparation that bring you near to the finishing line of achievement.  Training on the other hand  will help you realize  the outcome of what you want to be and what you want to achieve.  Then whether what the weather will be you will taste the sweetness of  your success and achievement.

Like any game or race pain, frustration,  disappointment are but normal  in achieving your goal. Along the way you will encounter them, but what will keeps you on tract is your determination to finish it.  As long as you keep going  and keep fighting you can still reach the finishing line.  You just have to choose it.

As a summary  there  are two lesson I learned  from this experience

First if you really want to win you have to prepare ,develop your skills and mindset to get stronger. Find people who will support you  in achieving your goal.

Second From the start choose what you want and fight for it no matter  what. Don’t let pain or frustration  stop you.

Your Anger as a Motivator

Anger is a good source of motivation if you know how to redirect it to

something productive. Anger is an energy, and sometimes this kind of energy

Works for me are sources that help me become more productive and when I’m stuck on something I can easily make solution. There’s a lot of successful people that use anger as motivation for them  do something great. Martin Luther He said when I am angry I can write, pray, and preach well. Because of 56 angry patriots the \United States was born and they sign the declaration of Independence because Sputnik made them number two in the space. They put man on the moon.

It is good to get angry as long as you use it into something that can benefit others.

You Can Learn From The Pro!

Every entrepreneur should have a Mentor , You have to find someone who can help you show the way someone who’s been down that road before and can share their wisdom.

A mentor is someone with more experience than you. Why we need a mentor? A mentor is your guide and can teach you the discipline you need to be successful in business and he can help shorten your learning curve. Our mentor can teach us patience when we face difficulty along the way while learning the discipline on how to be successful in business, and the safest and fastest way to do this is to apprentice with someone else.

You can find a mentor anywhere, there’s a lot of books out there about personal development, audio, video and trainings of successful people. Invest in reading good books and attending personal development trainings.One of my friends and who once my mentor said, be like a sponge and absorb everything the mindset, skills and wisdom of every successful person.

You can treat your mind like a garden you can plant every good thoughts in your mind and wait until they grow in your brain…If you want to be successful in business you have to surround yourself with people who are successful in business… Very few people achieve great success without a mentor. Find a team that will support you achieving your dreams people who will encourage you to fulfill your mission in life. Hang out with positive people and learn from each other. Expand your social network.

One of your mentors maybe is your personal experiences as you can even turn your failure as a mentor, in school if we commit mistake our teacher mark it as a failing grade but in reality or in  life its ok to make mistakes. One of the authors said if you want to be successful faster, double your failing rate and learn from them…successful people has many mistakes compared to unsuccessful people. Don’t be afraid to make mistake!

As long as you will become open and willing to learn, mentors will show up in your life. Most of the successful mentors will not ask you for payment, They like to teach and train other people as long as you are willing.  Sometimes they do it because they want to learn more. Develop a good relationship with your mentor. And as the relationship develops over time, that trust can grow even stronger. Also, your time with them becomes more and more efficient as they become more and more familiar with you and your business…

In my company which I called LIFE, I will find and hire good people by not trying to change them to be good.

In building a business relationship or even forming a football team, it is very important to work with people whose values are approximately or relatively the same as you have, so that there will be an alignment of goals and plans when working together as associates.

Teamwork is important in every endeavor no matter how small or big it may be.  Hence, it follows that dealing with people and in choosing them as part of your team is also important. In such case, running a company as owner, you need to choose the right teammates or colleagues in order to fulfill the company’s mission.  For example, a  girl whose  mission in life is to have a partner who is  health conscious, God- fearing, family oriented and ambitious, shall not marry an atheist, smoker, and a lazy person.   She has to find a guy who has the same value as she has for her to be happy.  Make sense right? In business, while building your dreams choose a team that is ambitious, positive and willing to support  you in realizing your dreams. It is not advisable partnering with people who have no ambition and with negative attitude in life because changing them for good will cause you a lot of headaches, as Jim Rhon said, “Good people are found not changed.”

Just like if an HR is looking for an engineer, he will not hire an accountant and change him to an engineer.  The smartest thing to do is to hire the best engineer.   If  I were the CEO of my Life Company, who will I hire?  Of course, I will hire the best people who can  work with me with ease in a healthy company relationship which will make me happy every single day while achieving  my company’s mission.

Life is simple.  If you are looking for good people find  them! If you are looking for positive friends, find them!  If you are looking for a religious husband, find him and hire him in your life! Life is so beautiful because what you want to have solely depends on you.  It is YOU who give  answers  to the questions of what, where when and  with whom to accomplish your mission.
