65 then 64 Days to Go - Everybody's is Already Doing It



Ok not everybody. But a big chunk of society is. What am I talking about? Just by riding a jeepney through the highway and you'll see what I'm talking about. Have you noticed how colorful streets have been with so many ads and signages compared to the last decade? How many stores of all sorts have popped up along the highway? How young people cram into ONE small establishment near Jollibee Capitol? (hehehe) and How everyone always has something to sell? I guess you really do....people are in to BUSINESS!

I met yesterday 3 of my best friends in high school and college, and oh boy, I was surprised coz they too have their own, say "Sidelines". And they're earning really "good" at it. 

Dro is our hunk with 11 fingers and always has a good laugh and sells custom made jewelry - from gold rings to silver bracelets - for he knows one good craftsman who could closely imitate high class jewelry and customize it to the customer's preferences. He always offer good deals with the price compared to those sold at stores. This guy is quite flexible and open minded always on the go for opportunities. He's the one I'm offering the pig fattening opportunity.

Charles is our Einstein with a sharp nose and totally brilliant mind. Not the typical entrepreneur guy during our school days but now sells well with his memorial plans - in just less than a month!

Gary, the ever careless black businessman had entrepreneurship already in his blood. He might me careless at times but he's quick with cash. Let's just say he earned over 30k this summer while having fun. Not bad for an elementary teacher eh? He and his - Cebu's top 10 most outstanding student - girlfriend, Irish, is quite a fascinating tandem. Both of them are teachers and spent summer teaching classes, giving teambuildings, and selling chorizo (a Filipino-style sausage). Plus all along the way, with his guts and Irish's confidence they've made so many connections through selling cakes, pastries, and their services. As what Kuya would tell me "planting seeds here and there." And lastly, no one beats their frugality - Siomai dates!

 I was so inspired  "Hey, you're not alone", and challenged, "Yes, you're not alone so don't be left behind!"

Hanz, fast track, double time, pull the pressure, be enthusiastic, 36k networth pa tawn ka! Learn from their examples!

These guys have been good friends of mine and it's so fascinating to know that we're digging our own gold mines. It would be really great that we'd be working with each other into something big but right now the best thing is to really focus on our own gold mines, learn from it and grow and be masters of it. And by then we could all be digging together a bigger gold, no, diamond mine!
