I read an article from Inquirer.net of the Philippines that Canada will need 350,000 manpower for the British Columbia province only over the next 12 years. If you plan to go there, it is better to equip yourself with technical knowledge like welding, plumbing, electrical installation and other technical jobs. Another thing to master is your language ability to speak, write and understand as well.
Philippines representative in Canada had signed an agreement with their Economic Development Minister Colin Hansen. The province economy is growing very fast, faster than Canada Economy and faster than US Economy too so they need 30,000 people each year to compensate the shortage of manpower. Base on present situation, the local resources from different schools are not enough to supplement the need for employment. As new in Canada I think this can be a start of your well off life and you know if you want to earn a six-figure salary income you better study after your work.
The news further said that the applicant should pass the medical and without criminal records. So if you want to work and live in Canada make a preparation to qualify.

Trading and merchandising are very old type of businesses. In fact since the dawn of civilization are already applied. China is one of them. It is evident that they did it because of many artifacts finding around the world like pots, jar and other products. In the Philippines, we have lots of Chinese even before the Spaniards came.
If you enjoy trading business then having a great source of products is a must. Like for example toys, bag and dress are wise business because it will not be spoiled easily like foods and other related products. Right now since labor cost in China is cheap then it follows that they have a cheap or affordable products too. I found a source that might interest you and it is called milf and it is a big company in China involved in trading or import/export business. MILF in the Philippines is of course another group of rebels in Mindanao. In fact this company has solid partners in USA and Europe for many years already.
One of the problems on how to reach worldwide customers is language barrier. Many people around the world could not understand English as primary or universal language that we have today. To introduce products around the world, you need to translate your business ads into their native language like for example here in Saudi Arabia, the Philippines products ads are translated to Arabic. China and India are the promising giant markets who are capable of capturing big market shares or they are potential customers. More than half of the world population is from India and China so we need to translate our ads from English to their native language.
Right now many Koreans are coming to the Philippines to learn English because this is the only way they could penetrate world market. Evidence of their penetration is the LG Company, Samsung and Daewoo to name a few. India and China are catching up because they have lots of manpower and the labor there are very cheap compared to other countries. Lenovo is from China aside from their American products while India is also good in IT and other products like TATA. Language translation is the best solution if you want to get big market share in the world. Right now there are many companies that will help you translate and interpreter your native or English article in different language depending on what you want. Like for example from English to Arabic or from Hindi to Farsi and vice versa.
My friend who is a good translator in English and Arabic earns big money doing it. Being a multilingual is indeed and asset if you are into business and even in personal life, it is an edge to be one. You can meet many people and be hired. There are many big businesses in the world that used interpreter to engage in business around the world, Japanese are doing this. It is a known fact that Japanese are not good in English compared to the Philippines but they proper in business and many of them are very rich with lots of billionaire after USA.
My point is if you want to capture the world, learn different languages or hire a good interpreter for your business if your target is global.
One of the best things that I learned is to borrow money if you want to start a business. My friend asked me “who in this world will lend their money for me? I don’t have job or any source of income for collateral”. Many of us are not motivated to do some impossible thing that is why at the beginning of the game, we are already a loser. When I was in college I asked my mother and suggest a business but she said that it involved lots of work, we might not recover the capital or it is just impossible. If in the beginning you already accept losing then you will not win. Many successful investors became rich because they take the risk, calculated risk.
In terms of Business Loans, you have to make a strategy so that the bank will trust you. I have written an article long time ago on how to make the bank begging you to loan from them. You have to start from small amount and pay it diligently and borrow again for a bigger amount and again pay the due plus the capital on the right time. If the bank will see that you are a good a payer then they will let you borrow money, in fact they will beg you to borrow from them after all that is their business all about.
Some of the business owners I know are using their business as collateral to borrow money from the bank to finance such business. This is what we call leveraging in money. You see you somewhat cook the bank by its own oil. Business and real estate are investments that make sense. Stock and mutual fund can’t be leverage because it is not tangible. I never heard a stock used as collateral to borrow money from the bank. It is just too risky that the bank will not allow you to use it as collateral. Business Loan is indeed the best way to start a business. Take calculated risk and follow your dream. Make three plans, just in case the first one will not work, go to plan B and so on. It is better to start small if you plan to start a business. If it will not work, at less it is only small amount of money. Do a business which you can afford to lose.
Right now there bank that lends unsecured loans for everyone who wants to start a new business. They will not ask for collateral, no tax declaration, no business plan needed and the process is very fast. In fact at this time you can do it online at the comfort of your home.
A must read speech:
Before I begin, I want to say please bear with me, an 81-year-old man who just flew in from San Francisco 36 hours ago and is still suffering from jet lag. However, I hope I will be able to say what you want to hear.
Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. Thank you very much for having me here tonight to open the Ad Congress. I know how important this event is for our marketing and advertising colleagues. My people get very excited and go into a panic, every other year, at this time.
I would like to talk about my life, entrepreneurship, and Globalization. I would like to talk about how we can become a great nation.
You may wonder how one is connected to the other, but I promise that, as there is truth in advertising, the connection will come.
Let me begin with a story I have told many times. My own.
I was born to a rich Chinese-Filipino family. I spent my childhood in Cebu where my father owned a chain of movie houses, including the first air-conditioned one outside Manila . I was the eldest of six children and lived in a big house in Cebu 's Forbes Park .
A chauffeur drove me to school everyday as I went to San Carlos University , then and still one of the country's top schools. I topped my classes and had many friends. I would bring them to watch movies for free at my father's movie houses.
When I was 13, my father died suddenly of complications due to typhoid. Everything I enjoyed vanished instantly. My father's empire was built on credit. When he died, we lost everything-our big house, our cars, our business-to the banks.
I felt angry at the world for taking away my father, and for taking away all that I enjoyed before. When the free movies disappeared, I also lost half my friends. On the day I had to walk two miles to school for the very first time, I cried to my mother, a widow at 32. But she said: "You should feel lucky. Some people have no shoes to walk to school. What can you do? Your father died with 10 centavos in his pocket."
So, what can I do? I worked.
My mother sent my siblings to China where living standards were lower. She and I stayed in Cebu to work, and we sent them money regularly. My mother sold her jewelry. When that ran out, we sold roasted peanuts in the backyard of our much-smaller home. When that wasn't enough, I opened a small stall in a palengke. I chose one among several palengkes a few miles outside the city because there were fewer goods available for the people there. I woke up at five o'clock every morning for the long bicycle ride to the palengke with my basket of goods.
There, I set up a table about three feet by two feet in size. I laid out my goods-soap, candles, and thread-and kept selling until everything was bought. Why these goods? Because these were hard times and this was a poor village, so people wanted and needed the basics-soap to keep them clean, candles to light the night, and thread to sew their clothes.
I was surrounded by other vendors, all of them much older. Many of them could be my grandparents. And they knew the ways of the palengke far more than a boy of 15, especially one who had never worked before.
But being young had its advantages. I did not tire as easily, and I moved more quickly. I was also more aggressive. After each day, I would make about 20 pesos in profit! There was enough to feed my siblings and still enough to pour back into the business. The pesos I made in the palengke were the pesos that went into building the business I have today.
After this experience, I told myself, "If I can compete with people so much older than me, if I can support my whole family at 15, I can do anything!"
Looking back, I wonder, what would have happened if my father had not left my family with nothing? Would I have become the man I am? Who knows?
The important thing to know is that life will always deal us a few bad cards. But we have to play those cards the best we can. And WE can play to win!
This was one lesson I picked up when I was a teenager. It has been my guiding principle ever since. And I have had 66 years to practice self-determination. When I wanted something, the best person to depend on was myself.
And so I continued to work. In 1943, I expanded and began trading goods between Cebu and Manila . From Cebu , I would transport tires on a small boat called a batel. After traveling for five days to Lucena, I would load them into a truck for the six- hour trip to Manila . I would end up sitting on top of my goods so they would not be stolen! In Manila , I would then purchase other goods from the earnings I made from the tires, to sell in Cebu .
Then, when WWII ended, I saw the opportunity for trading goods in post-war Philippines . I was 20 years old. With my brother Henry, I put up Amasia Trading which imported onions, flour, used clothing, old newspapers and magazines, and fruits from the United States . In 1948, my mother and I got my siblings back from China . I also converted a two-story building in Cebu to serve as our home, office, and warehouse all at the same time. The whole family began helping out with the business.
In 1957, at age 31, I spotted an opportunity in corn-starch manufacturing. But I was going to compete with Ludo and Luym, the richest group in Cebu and the biggest cornstarch manufacturers. I borrowed money to finance the project. The first bank I approached made me wait for two hours, only to refuse my loan. The second one, China Bank, approved a P500,000-peso clean loan for me. Years later, the banker who extended that loan, Dr. Albino Sycip said that he saw something special in me. Today, I still wonder what that was, but I still thank Dr. Sycip to this day.
Upon launching our first product, Panda corn starch, a price war ensued. After the smoke cleared, Universal Corn Products was still left standing. It is the foundation upon which JG Summit Holdings now stands.
Interestingly, the price war also forced the closure of a third cornstarch company, and one of their chemists was Lucio Tan, who always kids me that I caused him to lose his job. I always reply that if it were not for me, he will not be one of the richest men in the Philippines today.
When my business grew, and it was time for me to bring in more people- my family, the professionals, the consultants, more employees- I knew that I had to be there to teach them what I knew. When dad died at age 34, he did not leave a succession plan. From that, I learned that one must teach people to take over a business at any time. The values of hard work that I learned from my father, I taught to my children. They started doing jobs here and there even when they were still in high school. Six years ago, I announced my retirement and handed the reins to my youngest brother James and only son Lance. But my children tease me because I still go to the office every day and make myself useful. I just hired my first Executive Assistant and moved into a bigger and nicer office.
Building a business to the size of JG Summit was not easy. Many challenges were thrown my way. I could have walked away from them, keeping the business small, but safe. Instead, I chose to fight. But this did not mean I won each time.
By 1976, at age 50, we had built significant businesses in food products anchored by a branded coffee called Blend 45, and agro- industrial products under the Robina Farms brand. That year, I faced one of my biggest challenges, and lost. And my loss was highly publicized, too. But I still believe that this was one of my defining moments.
In that decade, not many business opportunities were available due to the political and economic environment. Many Filipinos were already sending their money out of the country. As a Filipino, I felt that our money must be invested here. I decided to purchase shares in San Miguel, then one of the Philippines ' biggest corporations. By 1976, I had acquired enough shares to sit on its board.
The media called me an upstart. "Who is Gokongwei and why is he doing all those terrible things to San Miguel?" ran one headline of the day. In another article, I was described as a pygmy going up against the powers-that- be. The San Miguel board of directors itself even aid for an ad in all the country's top newspapers telling the public why I should not be on the board. On the day of reckoning, shareholders quickly filled up the auditorium to witness the battle. My brother James and I had prepared for many hours for this debate. We were ne rv ous and excited at the same time.
In the end, I did not get the board seat because of the Supreme Court Ruling. But I was able to prove to others-and to myself-that I was willing to put up a fight. I succeeded because I overcame my fear, and tried. I believe this battle helped define who I am today. In a twist to this story, I was invited to sit on the board of Anscor and San Miguel Hong Kong 5 years later. Lose some, win some.
Since then, I've become known as a serious player in the business world, but the challenges haven't stopped coming.
Let me tell you about the three most recent challenges. In all three, conventional wisdom bet against us. See, we set up businesses against market Goliaths in very high-capital industries: airline, telecoms, and beverage.
Challenge No. 1: In 1996, we decided to start an airline. At the time, the dominant airline in the country was PAL, and if you wanted to travel cheaply, you did not fly. You went by sea or by land.
However, my son Lance and I had a vision for Cebu Pacific: We wanted every Filipino to fly.
Inspired by the low-cost carrier models in the United States , we believed that an airline based on the no-frills concept would work here. No hot meals. No newspaper. Mono-class seating. Operating with a single aircraft type. Faster turn around time. It all worked, thus enabling Cebu Pacific to pass on savings to the consumer.
How did we do this? By sticking to our philosophy of "low cost, great value."
And we stick to that philosophy to this day. Cebu Pacific offers incentives. Customers can avail themselves of a tiered pricing scheme, with promotional seats for as low a P1. The earlier you book, the cheaper your ticket.
Cebu Pacific also made it convenient for passengers by making online booking available. This year, 1.25 million flights will be booked through our website. This reduced our distribution costs dramatically.
Low cost. Great value.
When we started 11 years ago, Cebu Pacific flew only 360,000 passengers, with 24 daily flights to 3 destinations. This year, we expect to fly more than five million passengers, with over 120 daily flights to 20 local destinations and 12 Asian cities. Today, we are the largest in terms of domestic flights, routes and destinations.
We also have the youngest fleet in the region after acquiring new Airbus 319s and 320s. In January, new ATR planes will arrive. These are smaller planes that can land on smaller air strips like those in Palawan and Caticlan. Now you don't have to take a two-hour ride by mini-bus to get to the beach.
Largely because of Cebu Pacific, the average Filipino can now afford to fly. In 2005, 1 out of 12 Filipinos flew within a year. In 2012, by continuing to offer low fares, we hope to reduce that ratio to 1 out of 6. We want to see more and more Filipinos see their country and the world!
Challenge No. 2: In 2003, we established Digitel Mobile Philippines, Inc. and developed a brand for the mobile phone business called Sun Cellular. Prior to the launch of the brand, we were actually involved in a transaction to purchase PLDT shares of the majority shareholder.
The question in everyone's mind was how we could measure up to the two telecom giants. They were entrenched and we were late by eight years! PLDT held the landline monopoly for quite a while, and was first in the mobile phone industry. Globe was a younger company, but it launched digital mobile technology here.
But being a late player had its advantages. We could now build our platform from a broader perspective. We worked with more advanced technologies and intelligent systems not available ten years ago. We chose our suppliers based on the most cost-efficient hardware and software. Being a Johnny-come- lately allowed us to create and launch more innovative products, more quickly.
All these provided us with the opportunity to give the consumers a choice that would rock their world. The concept was simple. We would offer Filipinos to call and text as much as they want for a fixed monthly fee. For P250 a month, they could get in touch with anyone within the Sun network at any time. This means great savings of as much as 2/3 of their regular phone bill! Suddenly, we gained traction. Within one year of its introduction, Sun hit one million customers.
Once again, the paradigm shifts - this time in the telecom industry. Sun's 24/7 Call and Text unlimited changed the landscape of mobile- phone usage.
Today, we have over 4 million subscribers and 2000 cell sites around the archipelago. In a country where 97% of the market is pre-paid, we believe we have hit on the right strategy.
Sun Cellular is a Johnny-come- lately, but it's doing all right. It is a third player, but a significant one, in an industry where Cassandras believed a third player would perish. And as we have done in the realm of air travel, so have we done in the telecom world: We have changed the marketplace.
In the end, it is all about making life better for the consumer by giving them choices.
Challenge No. 3: In 2004, we launched C2, the green tea drink that would change the face of the local beverage industry -- then, a playground of cola companies. Iced tea was just a sugary brown drink served bottomless in restaurants. For many years, hardly was there any significant product innovation in the beverage business.
Admittedly, we had little experience in this area. Universal Robina Corporation is the leader in snack foods but our only background in beverage was instant coffee. Moreover, we would be entering the playground of huge multinationals. We decided to play anyway.
It all began when I was in China in 2003 and noticed the immense popularity of bottled iced tea. I thought that this product would have huge potential here. We knew that the Philippines was not a traditional tea-drinking country since more familiar to consumers were colas in returnable glass bottles. But precisely, this made the market ready for a different kind of beverage. One that refreshes yet gives the health benefits of green tea. We positioned it as a "spa" in a bottle. A drink that cools and cleans.thus, C2 was born.
C2 immediately caught on with consumers. When we launched C2 in 2004, we sold 100,000 bottles in the first month. Three years later, Filipinos drink around 30 million bottles of C2 per month. Indeed, C2 is in a good place.
With Cebu Pacific, Sun Cellular, and C2, the JG Summit team took control of its destiny. And we did so in industries where old giants had set the rules of the game. It's not that we did not fear the giants. We knew we could have been crushed at the word go. So we just made sure we came prepared with great products and great strategies. We ended up changing the rules of the game instead.
There goes the principle of self-determination, again. I tell you, it works for individuals as it does for companies. And as I firmly believe, it works for nations.
I have always wondered, like many of us, why we Filipinos have not lived up to our potential. We have proven we can. Manny Pacquiao and Efren Bata Reyes in sports. Lea Salonga and the UP Madrigal Singers in performing arts. Monique Lhuillier and Rafe Totenco in fashion. And these are just the names made famous by the media. There are many more who may not be celebrities but who have gained respect on the world stage.
But to be a truly great nation, we must also excel as entrepreneurs before the world. We must create Filipino brands for the global market place.
If we want to be philosophical, we can say that, with a world-class brand, we create pride for our nation. If we want to be practical, we can say that, with brands that succeed in the world, we create more jobs for our people, right here.
Then, we are able to take part in what's really important-giving our people a big opportunity to raise their standards of living, giving them a real chance to improve their lives.
We can do it. Our neighbors have done it. So can we. In the last 54 years, Korea worked hard to rebuild itself after a world war and a civil war destroyed it. From an agricultural economy in 1945, it shifted to light industry, consumer products, and heavy industry in the '80s. At the turn of the 21st century, the Korean government focused on making Korea the world's leading IT nation. It did this by grabbing market share in key sectors like semiconductors, robotics, and biotechnology.
Today, one remarkable Korean brand has made it to the list of Top 100 Global Brands: Samsung. Less then a decade ago, Samsung meant nothing to consumers. By focusing on quality, design, and innovation, Samsung improved its products and its image. Today, it has surpassed the Japanese brand Sony. Now another Korean brand, LG Collins, is following in the footsteps of Samsung. It has also broken into the Top 100 Global Brands list.
What about China ? Who would have thought that only 30 years after opening itself up to a market economy, China would become the world's fourth largest economy? Goods made in China are still thought of as cheap. Yet many brands around the world outsource their manufacturing to this country. China 's own brands-like Lenovo, Haier, Chery QQ, and Huawei-are fast gaining ground as well. I have no doubt they will be the next big electronics, technology and car brands in the world.
Lee Kwan Yu's book "From Third World to First" captures Singapore 's aspiration to join the First World . According to the book, Singapore was a trading post that the British developed as a nodal point in its maritime empire. The racial riots there made its officials determined to build a "multiracial society that would give equality to all citizens, regardless of race, language or religion."
When Singapore was asked to leave the Malaysian Federation of States in 1965, Lee Kwan Yew developed strategies that he executed with single-mindedness despite their being unpopular. He and his cabinet started to build a nation by establishing the basics: building infrastructure, establishing an army, WEEDING OUT CORRUPTION, providing mass housing, building a financial center. Forty short years after, Singapore has been transformed into the richest South East Asian country today, with a per capita income of US$32,000.
These days, Singapore is transforming itself once more. This time it wants to be the creative hub in Asia , maybe even the world. More and more, it is attracting the best minds from all over the world in filmmaking, biotechnology, media, and finance. Meantime, Singaporeans have also created world-class brands: Banyan Tree in the hospitality industry, Singapore Airlines in the Airline industry and Singapore Telecoms in the telco industry.
I often wonder: Why can't the Philippines , or a Filipino, do this?
Fifty years after independence, we have yet to create a truly global brand. We cannot say the Philippines is too small because it has 86 million people. Switzerland , with 9 million people, created Nestle. Sweden , also with 9 million people, created Ericsson. Finland , even smaller with five million people, created Nokia. All three are major global brands, among others.
Yes, our country is well-known for its labor, as we continue to export people around the world. And after India , we are grabbing a bigger chunk of the pie in the call-center and business-process- outsourcing industries. But by and large, the Philippines has no big industrial base, and Filipinos do not create world-class products.
We should not be afraid to try-even if we are laughed at. Japan , laughed at for its cars, produced Toyota . Korea , for its electronics, produced Samsung. Meanwhile, the Philippines ' biggest companies 50 years ago-majority of which are multinational corporations such as Coca- Cola, Procter and Gamble, and Unilever Philippines , for example-are still the biggest companies today. There are very few big, local challengers.
But already, hats off to Filipino entrepreneurs making strides to globalize their brands.
Goldilocks has had much success in the Unites States and Canada , where half of its customers are non-Filipinos. Coffee-chain Figaro may be a small player in the coffee world today, but it is making the leap to the big time. Two Filipinas, Bea Valdez and Tina Ocampo, are now selling their Philippine-made jewelry and bags all over the world. Their labels are now at Barney's and Bergdorf's in the U.S. and in many other high-end shops in Asia , Europe , and the Middle East .
When we started our own foray outside the Philippines 30 years ago, it wasn't a walk in the park. We set up a small factory in Hong Kong to manufacture Jack and Jill potato chips there. Today, we are all over Asia . We have the number-one-potato- chips brand in Malaysia and Singapore . We are the leading biscuit manufacturer in Thailand , and a significant player in the candy market in Indonesia . Our Aces cereal brand is a market leader in many parts of China . C2 is now doing very well in Vietnam , selling over 3 million bottles a month there, after only 6 months in the market. Soon, we will launch C2 in other South East Asian markets.
I am 81 today. But I do not forget the little boy that I was in the palengke in Cebu . I still believe in family. I still want to make good. I still don't mind going up against those older and better than me. I still believe hard work will not fail me. And I still believe in people willing to think the same way.
Through the years, the market place has expanded: between cities, between countries, between continents. I want to urge you all here to think bigger. Why serve 86 million when you can sell to four billion Asians? And that's just to start you off. Because there is still the world beyond Asia . When you go back to your offices, think of ways to sell and market your products and services to the world. Create world-class brands.
You can if you really tried. I did. As a boy, I sold peanuts from my backyard. Today, I sell snacks to the world.
I want to see other Filipinos do the same.
Gokongwei Speech
You might not aware that gold is gold. When you invest in gold there is no loss but gain. Gold will not depreciate in value in fact for the passed few years it appreciated so much that if you bought 3 years ago, it will give you now more than 100% profits. Think about it. Many people invest in stock market without knowing that they invest in gold too. This is true to people who are ignorant about stock and only rely to their broker.
Right now there are many companies that sell precious metals but where can we buy pure and certified gold bars? My friend who is rich and business minded person invest in gold and silver too in Monex because he said that this company has been in the business for a long time and has a good track record. My friend prefer to invest in gold because he can touch it, in short it is tangible unlike stock which he is not at ease because he could not touch it and he can't get his money at once like saving deposit in the bank. Investing in gold is really profitable. I myself had bought a couple of gold jewelries before and when I asked the current price, the pawnshop told me that it high and I knew that if I sell it, I could earn more than 100% from it. Not bad for me but I like them so I did not sell them. I am a collector anyway.
If you don’t know where to invest your extra money, try gold and other precious metals like silver and platinum.

I chat with my friend who is living in New York. Actually I just knew her through Internet and save her name in Yahoo Messenger. I knew her two years ago and have not talk to her for a long time. So this afternoon I knew that that until now she never earned money online. I wonder why because she is very active in joining any group or websites to earn money and she even recommend me lots of helpful websites.
So I asked why she did not earn any. She said that she don't know why. I said okay but I think she did not earn because she is like a fly transferring from one thing to another without focus. She lacked patience and discipline to know what she really want and what is her niche. Jumping from unfinished task to another one will not let you accomplish anything. Anyway I told her that I also experience such thing, in fact I look for a niche since year 2000 and only last year that I began to earn money online. I told her to continue and search her niche because if she will stop then she will never get what she wants.
Her dream by the way is to have a residual income online. Never jump to other opportunities without gaining any knowledge in your present opportunity. There are many ways to earn online and one of this is to make your site popular so will have a massive traffic and put some ads on it, that way you will earn big money. Another is accept freelance online like data entry and other IT jobs like graphics design and web designing. Blogging is another way to earn money but you have to optimize your blog and it should be three months old. Joining affiliates business online is another way to earn money. You will earn money through commission on sales. There are many online jobs that can earn you money so why not try them? It might be the answer of your dream for having a free time with your family.
Last month I joined this website because I read an email from a friend about this kind of ads. Some of my sites before has sound added into them but I removed most of them because it annoy my readers because they are music and long.

I am one of them who used eye glasses because I don't have 20/20 vision anymore. I can books, newspaper and other reading materials but when it comes to reading far ads or sign, I have a blurred vision. I am near sighted.

I was not at eased using them but I need to use it anyway so I wear it until now every time I go out.

Many American who mortgage their house could not afford to pay their due and they are facing the problem of losing their home. The USA will face recession this year as most Economist predict.
One of the movie that I like was the "wedding planner" by Jelo or Jenifer Lopez though I am not fan of her. It is indeed a good idea to decorate your reception and church with beautiful flowers so that it will look fabulous. If it is the day of the bride, it is also the flowers that will make the occasion beautiful and fabulous. Ordering flowers from cheap source should be your main objective to save money if you are a wedding planner.
Wedding planner which is my friend's business has earn her lots of money. She received a good sum of money with her four client last month. She saved the flowers which are used by the early wed couple and use it for the other three reception. She just changed the flower arrangement and the furniture to look it different from the other wedding ceremony.
She order wedding flowers online because they are cheaper by 75% from the stand or distributors in our place. There are many kind of flowers in the online store that she visited and ordered, from Rose to Dahlias and other rare flowers which you can hardly see in the flower shop in our place.
My brother who is a self employed person is doing fine. He said that being a self employed is far better than working in a company because you control your own time. He has his car shop in front of his house. Would you believe that his capital is only a welding machine and paint sprayer only when he started it five years ago? Yes this is true and I am proud about his business.
His business is reconditioning and selling Used Cars in our place by buying them from the source and bring them in our place and he start cleaning and reconditioning them. He earned around 75% of his investment. Having a car business is also a very profitable business if you know how to handle it. You also need to be friendly for the customers and potential customers too.
If you are interested to buy car but could not afford to buy a new one, better shop for a used cars which are still in good condition. The good thing about used cars is that they are cheaper and sometimes you can negotiate the price easily than those brand new out there. You can shop online if you want to learn more about how to buy used cars or even learn about the trick and how to buy a used car. Remember there are many scams out there so beware. Don’t give your hard earn money to those scammers.
I just joined this community tools that will help you gain more good traffic. I said good traffic because I believe that only people who are interested to your blog are most likely to visit. They can ignore your request if they felt that your blog is not related to their blog. Another thing is they still need a few minutes in your site so more or less they can view what you have in your blog or site.
Here is the operation:
When you join, you have to install a small card in your upper side bar whether it is right or left and when someone click it you earn a point or credit. It means they drop their card requesting you to place their card in your blog in one day. So the card which is the html code that you installed will be replace with other card if you accept their card. In the other hand you also drop your card to other blog which in return the will approve your ads or not. The more active you are, the more credit needed to advertise on your blog and your position increase also. I have a hard time explaining it so better see and read the site EntreCard but I liker this than joining Mybloglog and blogcatalog communities. This is more fun and will add more traffic to your site.
Last week we have a problem with our company service or I meant the Cherokee car because we lost sound systems every now and then and another time we could not start the engine even if the battery is new. I said to my technician, how come that we encountered these problem where in fact we have a new battery and he inspect the fuse box if everything are alright. I told him many times to bring the car to the service center for over-hauling but he said that it will be a waste of money because the new one will come. But I insist that he should bring it because we don’t have any idea when the new one will come. The best way to condition the car is to bring it to its service center where almost all of the spare parts are available.
When we brought the car to the service center we found out that there were wires and connectors damaged by the rats in our warehouse. Maybe those rats were very hungry because they ate what they could see even the cars wiring and other plastic materials in it. Another thing is that some of the employees left extra trash inside the building that maybe those rats plan to stay inside the card because it was inside the building during the winter and the only time my technician did was to start the engine and stop it. Fortunately for us we have automotive wiring connectors left from the stock room that we order two years ago. We order them online together with other tools and materials for our company.
The prices are cheap and affordable to any small industry or company. You can even order some for your personal use if you want. The site also is very reliable and will even ship your order within 48 hours. They have technical support and customer care service which can help or assist you if you need more information about the connectors. So if you have a problem like us, you better order them online and keep some extra for emergency use like what happened to our service.
I joined the new and talk of the cyber world today about ads if you don't know. They are new and will start their first commercial online on February 01, 2008. Their ads is very different because even if you don't click and someone will only visit your blog or site you will earn commission by hearing a 5 seconds commercial. This is a new wave of advertise that I am sure will shock the other sites that sell ads.
You will earn 25% of the ads payment plus you get 5% to all your first level of downlines, so the more that you have more webmasters under you, the more profit or resedual income that you get. Another thing is you also earn from people who are recruited by your downline too, and that is another 5% income. So to recap you get 25% from the ads value plus another 5% from your recruit and another 5% from their recuit. So that is a total of 35% oeverall. Big money isn't it?
Join now and start earning on February 01, 2008 by putting the html code in your blog or website. To earn more, tell your friends and others to join too under you to earn that 5%. Join Payperplay today and start earning. The good new is that you don't need to remove your existing ads in your side bar because this is sound ads not a pay per click ads. Don't waste your traffic today!
One of the thing that you remember is that our time is like money, in fact more than what money can give you when we are talking about business and investment. Time not like money that you can replace. Time is spent and thats it. Time is very important that is why we have the word "timing" or "good timing" to get a good results. So instead of delaying the work, we need to find automatic way to finish the task like for example if you are finding a way to advertise your ads, I think you will prefer to post it faster and automatic.
You can do it at Craygo and post multiple ads on craigslist fast than ever before. Instead of inputting the ads manually, do the easy and fast way. Remember that time is important. As much as possible do your works automatically to get more works done in a day.
Today I computed my total earning from my blogs income and although I will not reveal the source I will tell you that it reaches up to $4, 750.00 more or less. I started at May 2007. I think it is still a money and income. I know that many of you out there earned more than what I earned online. Well some of them make some strategy to earn traffic like the old man who pretend to be a 13 years old kid who know everything about business.
Some bloggers are also full time I can't do because I worked in a company. My New Year resolution is to earn more money this year or perhaps I would double my earning this year. I will also study more on real estates and small business like how to have a bakery or a chicken fast foods in the Philippines. In real estates, I am not saying that I will become an agent but maybe I would be a landlord or someone that build a house and earn money by having a rent to own business. I want to have a passive ustsource of income so that I don't have to work up to time when I reach 60 years old. I want to enjoy my life so why should I have to work up to that age. Finding a niche is the best way and applying an entrepreneurship skills to expand it. After that you can apply franchising or networking to your business.
Some of my entries here are really very informative if you read them. Following those advices are easy but you have to have a discipline to do it. Many of us ready thick books but only for entertainment which is not good. Follow your dreams and be successful in life. Stay away from your comfort zone and set a goal that is possible but sometimes those impossible can be possible too.
Having a chicken food chain is also good because everyone eats chicken than other meat in the Philippines. It is also fast and easy to raise, in 45 days you have a grown up chicken already. If you are observant you can see that big names in fast food are selling chicken to the public and they are really very rich. Customer service is very important in business too.
