ring then my late 18s, when I started to make profits, (3 digit figures profits a day), then I slowly became loose with my spending.. I have been treating my friends out for some shakes and drinks... Treating people out for lunch, etc. I did it very slowly...

The Christmas of 2004, when I was in my late 18s still, I felt that I was making so much profits that I wanted to give back to others the blessings I received.. It was Christmas, and I made a gift to more than 20 people.. I wrote them each a check of $100 each as Christmas gifts... I wanted to prove to myself as a non-greedy person, and show to others that I am not selfish... These people include my close friends, relatives, employees, and even the mailmen that I see every other day.

I wouldn't give them all, but many times that I donated to non-profits, to foundations... I don't think I even remember half of them..

I remember the day when I bought my car, the Evo, that was Feb of 2005. one of my close friend's mom was in financial problems.. She was low on cash, and had bills to pay... As being a person that is successful and just bought a car, I personally went to her house and offered her a check to help her with her finances... I wont say the exact amount, but its around $500.

That week also when I bought the Evo, I had it blessed by our parish priest, then after blessing the car, I told our priest, that I have been so successful lately with business, that I was able to buy my own car myself. but I also thank God for the blessings, and if I am able to buy my own car, I should also be able to donate to the church. I gave him a check for the church... Amount is around the same amount as above..

I feel so nice of myself, that I can also share Gods blessings to others.

3 Steps to Equipment Financing Success
Mortgage Brokers interested in adding equipment financing to their revenues can do so by following 3 easy steps.Starting a commercial equipment financing business can be a doubly successful endeavour for mortgage brokers because it can generate a new income stream as well as open up more doors for building their existing mortgage business. Also, financing equipment can be a good stepping stone for a mortgage broker into the more complicated world of project & commercial property finance. With good commissions available, this area should be of interest to the expanding mortgage broker's business.While the thought of commencing a new business venture can be a daunting one success will come from having sound procedures and practices. A small amount of work initially will quickly help you to determine if there is a business opportunity, and if there is - how to go about taking advantage of it.1. Establish your footings.Initially using a broad brush you need to determine if there is an immediate opportunity for you in financing equipment. Call some people in your client or personal network and ask them if their employer or business uses finance for their equipment. Get some names and contact the pe

I remember way back around a year ago, about exactly a year ago, I was talking with my workers that pack envelopes. those times, I was making many checks per bi-month. There were checks that were SO high that was somewhat the peak of my business, that we worked every other day just packing envelopes about 6-7 hours a day.

I think I told these to my workers one day when I was gonna give the paychecks.. I think I was giving bonuses that time, I cant really remember..

But I explained to them during my speech about it..

I told them that I see money differently than most people especially at that point of my life where my business was just unbelieveable. I told them that for me, money is just an award for my hardwork... I made an analogy to compare it with basketball... Say for example we because the champions in our high school basketball team, we then earn a big shiny gold trophy as a reward... But the trophy is really nothing, what really matters is the fame and pride of being champions.. it is the hard work and determination and how we never failed that makes me happy about myself.. Even if it weren't a gold shiny trophy, rather it was just a crappy medal that looks so ugly, it doesn't matter, what's important and what I will be happy of is that we were the champions of the basketball in high school. a trophy I can just have it made at a custom trophy shop. And put on it "Chris, high school champion", and magic! I am the champion! I can be happy about it, but deep inside I don't feel successful.

For business, money is the reward of being successful. but in reality, money is not all my goal and passion... It is not the main thing I'm after, but its the fame and pride of being able to support myself financially, and the service of business to others, making it a better economy. it is to prove to myself, my family and friends, that I am successful. it is to show my hard work and how persistent I am..

In fact, even at first when I started business when I was about in my early 17s, I never started that business coz I needed money... Or because I wanted to buy something.. Or I wanted to put new stuff in my car... NO! I just enjoyed business and wanted to try it out..

Business was more like a HOBBY to me... Until now, it is still something I enjoy doing.. people that love basketball love to play basketball -- they look forward to play everyday and enjoy it... I love business, so I love to work and do business -- Its something I look forward also doing everyday!

Until now, even my real estate investment, even although there are problems and I am spending more than how much I expected to earn, also including the problems I had with my contractor that I had to switch contractors, I was a big pain in the ass for me... Even marketing and dealing with unhappy tenants that I have been promising their move in date to be last June 1, then June 12, then now July 1, I have been embarrassed of myself.. but all of these challenges I ENJOY! they make me a better person... I love challenges, and overcoming them is an obstacle... Its like playing a game, to beat the enemy.. The enemy which is the problem or the challenge..

With money, during my earlier years, before I was successful at the age of my late 18s, I knew how to spend money.. Spend it very wisely.. Well yes, my mom isn't selfish with money, that whatever I want, she will give me.. When we bought a car when we first went to the US, I wanted just a normal used corolla, maybe something we can buy for $5,000 and get us to places... I wanted to start with that car, and to spend money on more important things... my mom said no, lets get a better car than that... I still insisted on just getting a cheap reliable car... Well we ended up deciding to get a brand new car that will last, at the decision of my mom..

Well I said that lets just go for a brand new civic... Its one of the most reliable cars, and one of the best buys at the lowest price... Its very practical.. I suggested that... well when we were at the Honda shop, my uncle was insisting that I just get a Mercedes Benz, and my mom was also agreeing with him.. A Benz would just be around $5,000 more than the civic.. my mom kept on asking me if I should just get the civic, or maybe I wanted a Benz instead? I said, lets just stay with the civic... Although if I wanted the Benz, we could of got that instead...

That's how I look on money before...

There were times that my friends go to Starbucks, and I don't even buy anything, but I REALLY was craving for some iced frap... But I stopped myself...

I was a very wise person with money before. I really didn't spend too much... All I spent was on was just cheap fast food and gas... Maybe $100 should last me about 3 weeks (not including gas)... I obviously didn't have a job that time..

I was planning of taking out some friends of mine to a date before, but I have been holding back, to the fact that I don't want to pay for their food.. As I know that the money ill be spending will be coming from mommy.. I was actually even thinking of asking my friend if we can have separate bills if I were to take her out..

Small gambling, as some of my friends do (just small stakes), I have been always avoiding... I rarely gambled, and each time I lose, I felt VERY BAD deep inside, because I know that money came from mommy... I was their money that I just threw away..

I lived my teenage life without an allowance... I'm not saying that I didn't have money or I wasn't given money, actually if I wanted money, my mom would give it to me... If I wanted to buy some bling bling, I know my mom will give it to me... I never had daily allowance during my high school days, but rather, I just spend, and when I'm low with cash, then I ask for more money... just that simple, no rules... But I was WISE with money, I spent way less than the average high school student... I wasn't a heavy spender..

I remember that I always go straight to the sale rack whenever I go shopping... If it ain't in the sale rack, although if I wanted something badly, I would never buy it!

I often also reject money when my mom offers to give me money when times that I know that I still have enough money still... But money was always there when I needed it..

I would say all in all, I learned about money habits by EXPERIENCE. I learned to spend money INDEPENDENTLY. many parents give their children daily allowance, that the person is only limited to spend that much, and if the person SAVES, then he would be able to buy the luxuries that they want... That's how most children and teens go about, but I was just different from that.

When I was 17 and early 18, I have been having businesses... They were almost just slightly profitable... Not too much profit, but a little profit.. Maybe I would say a good $5 profit per day.. But with that $5 I was making each day, I didn't spend money differently.. I was still the same money spender I was... Its not like I was able to buy nice clothes then, or something like that.. I didn't even mind that $5 at all... It wasn't anything to me... What was important to me was the experience of doing business... Knowing the ins and outs of business..

During then my late 18s, when I started to make profits, (3 digit figures profits a day), then I slowly became loose with my spending.. I have been treating my friends out for some shakes and drinks... Treating people out for lunch, etc. I did it very slowly...

I wouldn't give them all, but many times that I donated to non-profits, to foundations... I don't think I even remember half of them..

I feel so nice of myself, that I can also share Gods blessings to others.

Making the Merger a Success
I was reading an article on Seeds of Growth on how individuals impact the branding and goodwill of an organisation. I found it quite easy to parallel to what they were saying about Corporate Branding and what I call Company Culture.See I'm a consultant that helps companies with divestments, carve-outs, post mergers, or post acquisitions. After the deal is done, I'm usually appointed to guide the organisations through all that is involved in the merger, and make sure they derive the value from the deal. Sometimes this gets lost in transition - people tend to focus on what's easy or important to them.The Seeds of Growth article was saying that there are two kinds of brands, an employer brand that "defines clearly defined it will enable us to attract and retain the talent we need in today?s increasingly competitive market place to deliver our strategy and goals." The second is a personal brand - this is what makes us different, the way we think and the way we act.See in a merger or acquisition, you want to appoint people that will carry the corporate culture, corporate value, and corporate culture forward. The people you need to look for or appoint to authority position are people that have a personal brand that match the new corporat

Special Interest Groups Push Your Success
If you have spent some time talking about non profit groups and being involved with fund-raisers. I would like to suggest that you should be take one step further and you should volunteer to be part of the executive. You may be thinking that you do not have enough time to do this. In reality, being on the executive helps you to steer the organization and make it better. These positions are often hard to fill because of the perceived time commitment. Make this an opportunity to step up to the plate and help give some direction. Every organization I have joined, I have managed to be on the executive. I even have become the President. These positions should not be taken lightly as they are a lot of work but what you get out of the responsibility is far more rewarding. Everyone in the organization will know who you are and how you operate. You will be part of the face the group puts forward. This type of notoriety is very difficult to obtain going through normal business channels.I thoroughly enjoy sitting on the executive with others that have a great deal to offer. I get to work closely with these individuals to learn more about who they are. I learn from every meeting I attend even if some of them seem like the same old thing. I would not suggest

Tips For Planning A Successful Corporate Party
Whether or not the company you work for offers yearly celebrations, there comes a time in every business when get-togethers arise. Sometimes, the occasion calls for the popping of champagne, while others include a simple spread of cheese and crackers. Depending on the event that needs planning, corporate parties have the potential to become rather entertaining moments that create everlasting memories when organized in the proper manner. Regardless if this is your first time planning a corporate party, there are plenty of tips to follow and things to learn along the way. Below are a few to keep in mind:1) Knowing the budget allotted for a corporate party is rather important, which allows a planner to make the proper arrangements that better serve the theme of the event. When you don’t have a clue as to the amount of money that you can spend on a get-together, the decisions you make for the event may not be as realistic as they can or should be.2) Since you’ve been working in the office for a decent amount of time (to have the responsibility of planning a corporate party), you should already have an idea about what type of things that your fellow co-workers enjoy. Planning the kind of activities that will get employees involved during the p

Name That Customer Service Breakdown: Is It A Listening Problem or a Memory Problem?
Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas, the former basketball star, teamed up years ago and wrote a sensational little self-help manual: THE MEMORY BOOK.You might have seen these two appearing on “The Tonight Show.” Their “act” consisted of simply memorizing and then repeating in order the names of everyone in the audience during a given program.That amounted to hundreds of names!They accomplished several things with their wizardry:(1) They demonstrated that memory isn’t passive; it’s an active device that anyone can learn to improve;(2) There is no practical limit to the amount we can remember; and(3) What is often thought to be a listening problem is really a memory problem.It is the third item that concerns me in this article.But before I get to that, let me throw a few definitions at you.Hearing is registering sound vibrations. We do that all the time, whether it is the whooshing of cars outside of our office or the faint joyful voices of children playing down the block.Listening is making sense of what we hear; interpreting it and placing a meaning on it. “Oh, those must be the kids at the playground,” we think, when we start to listen.Remembering is recalling accurately what we l

Most recent one was just yesterday. my friend Melissa from Gawad Kalinga, to keep it short, I made a donation for the tuition fee of teenagers that cannot afford their college tuition, since school is starting about now.. there were about 15 teenagers that we sponsored, I gave about 1/3 of the total sponsorship needed. I wont say the exact amount.

I have been independent with my spending... I focus more on what I earn rather on how much I save... If I needed more money, then I would work more and thus earn more... most people SAVE MONEY to have more money... I EARN more money if I need more..

Just a while ago my mom was offering me money because she wanted to pay for my tuition fee (I am taking a class at Ateneo). Tuition is 23,000 pesos, she said she wants to pay for it instead of me, but I rejected it and I just paid it myself... I know I have money, and I could afford it.. Even the seminars that I attend... But I very very VERY appreciate her offer to me, that education is something that she wants to offer to me from her end... It was touching on what she did.
