bosanchez - Focus on Your Gift, Not Your Cash

 

Question: What can harm your business?

Answer: A lot of available cash.

Call me crazy, but I believe in that 100 percent.

Ideally, someone who is starting his first business shouldn’t have a lot of cash. I believe a lot of cash can harm you more than help you.

So if you’re starting your first business now and you have very little cash—thank God!

It’s one of His sweet blessings to you.

Why?

You’ll learn to “make do.”

You’ll learn to work from home. (Don’t rent office space yet!)

You’ll learn to use what you have. (Don’t buy new stuff yet!)

Besides, it will be a fantastic story to tell 20 years from now.

You’ll be able to tell your kids, “I started this giant company 20 years ago in my living room. I started with only P34,000…”

Here’s another reason why having a lot of money at the start of your first business is bad for you…

 

First Businesses Usually Fail

 

When you start your first business, you’ll fail.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.

But if you really think about it, it isn’t really bad news.

Because failure isn’t God’s Rejection. Failure is God’s Redirection.

No, not ALL first businesses will vanish into thin air. Some will survive. But these will be revised, rehashed, redesigned, rebuilt…

 

My Story of Failure

 

Once upon a time, I had P600,000 in savings.

I was bent on starting my business.

Feeling confident because I had P600,000 in my hands, I looked for a business.

There’s the mistake.

Your money isn’t the reason why you go into business.

You go into a business because you have a GIFT you want to give to the world.

Not your money. It’s your gift that people need!

Anyway, back to my story.

Someone told me about a hotdog stand in a brand new mall. Since I had my cash, I bought the franchise for P250,000. Monthly rental was P18,000.

I still had money left!

What should I do with it? (You see, when you have money, your hands itch.)

The mall offered me another stall, right beside it. Since I had money left, I bought another franchise for another P250,000. This time, it was an ice cream scooping station. That required another monthly rental of P18,000.

I figured: What could go wrong? It was such a simple business.

But everything went wrong.

Looking back, I did no research. (Crazy!)

I never studied who the main shoppers were, and thus, whether they would like hotdogs or ice cream. (They didn’t.)

I also didn’t know anything about the business.

I didn’t even look for a mentor who could guide me.

It was all a leap in the dark.

I literally “jumped” into it blind.

What happened?

The moment I opened it, the business began to bleed. My monthly expenses were much more than my profits. Instead of earning, I was losing P20,000 a month!

After five months, I closed the stores.

I lost P600,000 on that business.

Yes, I lost everything I had.

 

Learn From Others Who Have Failed

 

Today, my businesses are very successful.

I believe I’m successful today because of all my past failures.

But I’ve got good news for you: You don’t have to experience my failures.  You don’t have to experience all my mistakes.

How?  Learn from the failures of others!  (Learn from my pains so you don’t have to experience them.)

Get Mentors!

This is the reason why you need to surround yourself with Super Successful people who can share with you their journey of failures.

  Seeing Only Red in a Sea of Blue   In my talks, I often play this game with the audience. I ask them to look around the room and count how many red shirts there are. After half-a-minute, I tell them to close their eyes. I ask them, “Are you ready with your answer?” They all reply with a resounding yes. Then I ask them, “Okay. How many blue shirts did you see?” They burst out laughing. And they try to guess. But no one gets the right answer. Why? Because they weren’t focused on the blue shirts but on the red. The point of this little exercise is to show them that every reality, every situation, every circumstance always has many sides. But we only see one side! Always.   You’re Not a Grasshopper   Let me tell you one of my all-time favorite stories in the Bible. The Israelites who escaped Egypt (think “Ten Commandments” with Charlton Heston) were now at the edge of the Promised Land. Not knowing what it was like, they sent 12 spies to scout the land i...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - To MILF or not to MILF this Mothers Day

I don’t know if you have those to-do piles that just sit there, you WANT to get to them, you MEAN to get to them, and you OUGHT to get to them… while this video was in one of those piles. It took less than 10 minutes to do. Why did I put it off? Well if you’re like me, we only procrastinate with things we either don’t really want to do, or doing them will make us have to face something we’re not ready to face, internally or externally. We’re literally choosing not to face it and calling it procrastination. So I guess I didn’t want to face/own being a MILF. Really owning my badass queen Harley boots, pole dancing, MILF essence. I don’t even know what I’ve really made it all mean… just that I’m WAY more potent than I realize and my erotic creature is WAY overdue coming out to play, to create adventures, to embrace life and to shine!! So you know I call my women’s membership Redefining Sexuality , because I sure don’t care for the definition of sex or sexy… it’s void of honor, care and ...
