Never misunderstood PRODUCTIVITY versus ACTIVITY

Yes, sometimes we reasoned out that WE were BUSY.  But have you consider to ask yourself if you are PRODUCTIVE?

You may be very productive at work, finish all the deadlines, BUT, being productive is not just for your work.  Being productive is for your own values, for your own personal growth, for yourself.

Sometimes we go through our daily activities and realizing that we are full packed of activities, and will end up whinning that we should have more than 24hrs a day.  BUT (again, big BUT), how come some people have their success, their productivity, given that WE ALL HAVE THE SAME 24hrs IN A DAY.  It's not that we lack in time.  We lack in managing our time and spending it by keeping ourselves BUSY instead of being PRODUCTIVE.

Never misunderstood PRODUCTIVITY versus ACTIVITY.

As one of my favorite saying goes:
"We cannot save time.
We can only spend time.
So spend it wisely."

Good day. God be with you!

5 Simple Ways to Get Trained In Life For Your Success

Get Trained!

A very simple words but very hard to act.
A very simple command that very hard to commit.

Get trained!  Add value in your life.  Add skills.  Grow personally.  Below I will share to you the things that I realized and learned during talk series Jesus Entrepreneur in The Feast, The LOJ Family.

Success is all about learning.  You may ask, how to learn?  I will tell you, there are a lot of ways.

1. TRAININGS or SEMINAR. I am sure there are a lot of trainings in the field on where you at right now.  Attend those trainings and seminars.  A lot of things that can be learn that you can add value in your daily activity towards to your goal.

2. BOOKS or AUDIOBOOKS.  In our world right now, this not difficult to achieve.  Digital age.   There are a lot of ebooks and audiobooks you can get from internet.  Search for a motivational books, inspirational books, financial development books, personal development books, business/entrepreneural books, investment books, etc.  There are a lot of stuff you can find out there that can help you grow.

3. YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE.  Failures.  I usually say that failure is not the end of the road.  It is another step towards your success.  Failures is where you can learn from your mistakes.  You can refer to my previous article about Failures is just a part of your MASSIVE SUCCESS, that can be find here
(http://startbytheheart.blogspot.com/2015/03/success-is-born-through-failures.html )

4. EXPERIENCE FROM OTHERS.  They said experience is the best teacher.  Yes.  But I believe, a wise man learns from the experience of others.  My point is, have time to listen to other's story of success.  You might pick something or you can get a take away from it.  Just follow the path of success of other people.  Listen to them.  As I always said, "You can never ask a plumber anything about medical stuff."

5. And last, FIND A MENTOR.  Me, as an Entrepreneur, I believe in Mentoring.  Find a mentor, someone who can guide you through yohr way to succesa.  Someone who you respect most, it can be your role model, it can be your boss, it can be your coach, it can be your community leader, it can be your preacher in your spiritual leader.  Find a mentor who can guide you grow from your personality, skills, mindset and spirituality.

Get trained!  Face the mirror and tell yourself, GET TRAINED!

Even in the Bible, David the Sheperd Boy.  Before David beats Goliath, in his past experiences, he was able to trained himself.  As a shepered he should protect his sheeps from wild animals.  Guess what, he can defeat a wild Lion using his bear hands.  What is my point, get trained!  You'll never know what situation you can face tomorrow, but the important thing is, YOU ARE EQUIPPED!

Get trained...

The day you stop learning, that's the day you start dying.

Pipelines for Financial Blessings

Photo from: Bo Sanchez's Daily Morsels of Wisdom

Have you ever dreamed about having a life that is financially free?

Have you also asked our Mighty Creator for a blessing of abundance?

But then, you are still in your current situation.  Lots of financial challenges, lots of bills or debts to settle and still struggling to survive in your daily living.  You even adjusted your expenses and living below your means, but then, it feels like nothing has even changed?  Let me tell you, this is the right place to find your answers.

Let us create multiple pipelines for your financial blessings.

You know what a Pipeline is?  It is a pathway where the water goes to flow from the source to the destination. That is right, you just have to create a new pipeline on where your new line of water will flow through, just like what you need for your financial blessings.

Let us say that your actual job is the pipeline to your current financial blessings, all your income will flow through that pipeline.  Now for you to have another financial blessing, you have to create a new pipeline for it.  And what are these?  It can be Financial Literacy, a Business, or an Investment.

Let us now tackle how these pipelines will affect your financial blessings:

Financial Literacy, why is this?  Because your knowledge in finances will allow you to spend your money wisely in an appropriate manner, with that, you can increase your savings.

Business, why is this?  Perhaps the answer is obvious.  We all know that business is one actual proof to earn more profits and get residual growth that can provide you more than what you can earn in your actual job.  However, there are some people who thinks that having a business is too risky.  I will tell you, nothing is more risky than not thinking of ways to grow your current financial blessings.

Investment, yes you may ask again, why is this?  Here's the catch: in an eye of an investor, the definition of an Asset and Liabilities are different from what we have learned during our school days.  According to Robert Kiyosaki, a well-known American investor, who wrote the Rich Dad Poor Dad series of motivational books.  On his book Rich Dad Poor Dad, he defines Asset as something that will provide you a new cashflow -- or what we call a new pipeline, and Liabilities as something that we will use for our expenses.  Anyway I'm not here to lecture about these stuff, but the point is, Investment is like buying an asset that will generate you additional pipeline.

If you noticed that these 3 things have been mentioned in a particular order.  Well it does have a purpose for it.  In able to be successful in these Financial Pipelines, you should develop your Financial Literacy first because from here, you can learn how to handle your finances well.  Then you can start up your own Business and work on it to expand further and accumulate your residual growth.  From this point, you can start to create your Investment.  Having a background in business can help you understand more the flow in the investment world, this is according to Mr. Kiyosaki's book on the Cashflow Quadrant.

 

Starting a Business and an Investment can be very simple.  Nowadays you can get so many choices around you but always remember to be vigilant about it and better check very carefully the details and background of the things you are getting into.  Let yourself be familiarized on these matters, there are even a lot of learning materials that can be found anywhere else, especially through the worldwide web. 

It is not yet too late for you to become financially literate and start up your own business.  As what they have quoted, the best day to plant a mango tree is 15 years ago.  So when is the next day to plant?  NOW.

Success Is Born Through Failures

Photo by: Len Anacta

FAILURES and CHALLENGES are ALWAYS part of your growing SUCCESS. You can't have success if you don't fail.

It's like; there will be no LIGHT if there is no DARK.
It's like; there will be no DAY if there is no NIGHT.
It's like; there will be no HOT if there is no COLD.

It is always the result of the absence of the other entity.

You can't say that there's LIGHT if you didn't identify the DARK.
You can't say that there's DAY if you didn't identify the NIGHT.
You can't say that there's HOT if you didn't identify the COLD.

Same goes for SUCCESS. There is no such SUCCESS if there is no FAILURES/CHALLENGES.

You can't say that there's SUCCESS if you didn't FAIL at some point of your journey.

FAILURES are part of life.
If you don't fail, you don't learn.
If you don't learn you'll never grow.

God bless!
