25 Days Left - The BIG Dilemma



"I am dying to resign!!!"

I cannot contain the opportunities that lay in front of me lately these days. The turn of events within the last days of the 90-day challenge have opened promising doors ahead and I so want to step my foot in all of them. Finally I would be out of the rat race, BUT there is a very big BUT! I still do not have enough financial stability to support my family. You see, I'm the only income earner in the family. So I'm in a pretty deep dilemma lately.

Just last night, I stumbled on this powerful, rocking video of Gary Vaynerchuk: Do What You Love (No Excuses!). Here it is:



And you know what? this video sorted out things in my head. Here are my insights:

There is no reason to do sh*t you hate

Exactly. Hear Hear. This is why I won't resign just yet. Yep, I love my work, I just hate the fact that I'm working for somebody else!! I know, I'll be missing a lot of opportunities while I'm working there. If you could only see the mess on my to-do list in this laptop's sticky notes. With the book, businesses, LOJ, my internet plans, and all its waaaay to tempting to get out. But, like what I've posted, I'm exploiting my work to train myself to become a motivational speaker and coach. (I recently discovered how my writing skills have improved, never did anyone refused on my proposal letters lately!)

You need to hustle!

However, a few seconds ago, I made a decision to do double time on this. I have to learn as fast as I can on all these. My major project is to duplicate myself in the workplace, nurture leaders with my mindset, just by then will I resign. And because of this...

Legacy is greater than currency

This is what I am mainly after-my core desire. Duplicate. Leave a mark on all my team members. A name for myself. 

But thinking practically, how could I support my family if I cut off my income, as what Gary said..

You don't get money for doing what you love...I lost a sh*tload of money for doing what I love

He maybe right, but with the us GEMs - Group of Enlightened Millionaires - we'll prove him wrong. At this stage of my life he may be right, but as you can see, he said something that encourages me...

Patience...Small niches...can grow Crazy...if he's patient enough.. he's gonna be huge!

I know I'm gonna be huge. I'm sure about that! I may only have a handful of fans, but they're my fans now.  I just need to tell myself over and over again, if I'll focus on earning fast cash to make my exit out of the rat race, I might just lose the cash fast! I haven't even fully established my millionaire mind as shown in my attitude during the night race, see?

All I need to do right now is do small but powerful steps one at a time in this journey. 
And still enjoying every step of it.

33 Days Left - Reality Check



You might be wondering what that I have been so quite about my businesses knowing I only have a month left!! Here's a little update of what I have been up to.
(I really love doing this - reality checks - keeps me on track)

1. The Ex-sem shirt - well it was quite a success. Imagine we have interested buyers from Saudi and Canada! Though we are are far from our promise limited offer of 99 prints we only got about 40 prints and only half of those have actually claimed there orders. It is already on its denouement actually, but it was a success because we learned, we earned, and we got a charity - a blackboard for children's Sunday school.

2. Shirts - Part 2 - Yup! Though the ex-sem shirts is on denouement we have an upcoming one. The design is ready, we have 31 orders reserved, its on its manufacturing stage. We'll tell the world about it shortly.

3. The FeelGreat Shirt - After losing track, its now back! The original members are just occupied lately that we were not able to continue cooking it but with Dro coming in the picture we can assure it would make it happen. Actually, we have planned it quite well the other night and all are now working on each assignment. Can't wait!

4. Lending - We have decided to draw the curtains to a close. We'll tell you more about it soon. But one great reason for that is we'll be investing it all in into something BIG. As in BIG.

5. Best Selling Book - still cooking!

6. Internet - inspired after knowing that my Best Inspirational Videos blog is rank 1 in Google search (I'm still proud even if it's only number 1 if you choose "Pages from the Philipipines" hehehe) I decided to buy it's own domain! Actually, I'm soliciting from my amazing aunties from the states.

7. Best Selling Ebook - this 90day journal would soon be one!

Hmmmmmmmm... I think...hmmmmmmmmmmmmm..
two words...

DOUBLE TIME!!!!
