Reject Rejection (day 15-21)

Another simple and yet awkward 5 days had happen to me this week... Meet my friend! "rejection". Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and even Saturday. All these days sum up to the lessons about this word that came from other sources of people talking to me in some advice and some perspective of their own life. The lesson begun on a hot and intense monday, when me and Jan were going to BO's Cafe at Ayala. The two of us were talking about ladies around Ayala. Mostly 90% of the girls we are observing is tremendously beautiful or shall we say in bisaya as "chicks". I suddenly had a sword stuck at my mind when I remembered of a friend I can't say by name had a very beautiful lady at his hands and him had a very beautiful hair. (hahahaha) I really can't understand how that happen. I ask jan, "Jan why are there ladies and gents that just aren't comprehensible? Or shall we say not equal?". Jan laughed hardly... "Your just jealous from what he has.. Son, I have to say to you that its not what you think the girls think the same." Jan paused for an air and said, "let me put you through this... Is your friend with that girl for long?" and I answered, "yeah, I even thought that the girl wouldn't like him at all because she was taller." Jan smiled, "did the guy courted her?" and I answered "yup, maybe many times though before she got an answer "Yes". Jan said, well that's the answer... How many times would you court a girl and then give up? I mean I only do it once... I give up!!! And thats the very reason why we guys do not get what we want because we give up. In business... This lesson is such a true statement. When you get rejected by the person you wanted to help with the business. Would you give up on the business? NO!!! This world is full of rejection, and this thing is the one blinding us from opportunities because we are afraid to be rejected!!! But the Truth is... When you don't give up. The answer comes right away. And when you got rejected. You don't lose something. You might even gain something.

Patience is a Key to Success (day 12 -day 14)

What comes to your mind when you speak of Patience? Wikipedia defines patience as the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without acting on annoyance/anger in a negative way... NOSEBLEED!!! Anyhow my kuya defines patience differently. When he speaks of patience, he speaks of love and time. When there's love there's patience and there is also time. Last 3 days... I was a work-in progress about this seemingly typical word, yet hard to appreciate. To define what is patience!!! let me give a comparison about my father(poor dad) and my Mentor(Rich Dad). My childhood life never ought to let remember patience, that's why I'm a hot tempered guy. I grew from my fathers hell like treatment. He never have patience because he made everything in flying colors. He would let his brain blew away when he speaks about education. Yet a testimony to the word failure, he does not have patience to learn simple ways of life but appreciates the patience of Calculus books and throws books away that discusses about success in life. He was selfish... He did not have the time to give to us. I just remembered him bringing food in the house. He gives to us the ordinary foods and the special ones are left only for him... He did not have any patience. While my Rich dad was completely opposite, he have a lot of patience. He treated us like his real children. He'd teach us principles and lessons about life each time we see each other. He'd spend more time on us just talking, sharing, laughing, selling, and doing business. He even cooks food and gives the special ones to us and the ordinaries are for him. I did not know why but he was a man full of patience. Instead decreases his value growing his age... He even appreciated in value more and more. See the difference? It's just that one simple word that distinguishes everything. My test this week was presenting our sales letter to Networking companies all over Cebu. I just realize how many wonderful and others life threatening companies Cebu has. It was really patience.... other companies won't even let us in, others were like hungry sharks ready to consume you anytime, and others were really patient having the time to listen to us. To shortcut this events I could only say that the ones that were patient and listen to us thanked us and the ones that did not.. were like zombies, passing away the opportunity.

Wax on Wax off (day 11)

Life as it seems so easy when you have teachers in reality that really guides you to success is a false thinking. Because it's not easy to find that teacher... I'm just so lucky and privileged to have this wonderful mentors on my side(my two Kuyas, Tito Tony, Janmck). Now here comes the news... I thought it was already easy when you have this mentors... but it is really like walking through a road of burning coals!!! Following their rules, advice's, pressure, and lessons. You need to keep on doing things that you might not have even encountered before and you might even question yourself... Shacksssss!!! But again I remembered ( a speeding arrow pierced through my Subconscious mind) a part of a movie from a seminar I've taken from the Money Magnet Seminar which was really a learning frenzy thought by the No.1 Success's coach of the Philippines himself!!! From Karate Kid Movie(old version). It was the boy who trained for "Kung Fu" but practices in an unusual manner as to the other kung fu students he have seen. Just following his mentors advice without asking anything even though he was like not learning something for days.... Until the day came that he questioned his practices that there was no Kung Fu on it! But as the master attacked him he was using the techinques to deflect the masters attack and even attacked!!! You see... Life is like that, sometimes we don't notice the little lessons He gives everyday but the truth is. We are really learning from it... Just as the kid learn his attacks by waxing on and waxing off the floor...

do NOTHING (day 10)

I started to wonder whether am I really doing the right thing because at the end of this month I have studies to get through with again... I know that I don't like studies, and I really like to play with business. But in my situation where my Mother comes in the middle where she really wants to let me finish a degree but I really don't like to go to school anymore... I mean... I've learn a lot from it but reality strikes me that "after school there's more than just theoretical application here". Life is the teacher, we are the students.. So why decide to wait and know life after studies when you can harness and live life at this exact time. Traffic started to bug my mind... too many cars, so noisy... But no I said to myself, I know what I'm doing... Intuition guides me!!! So I decided to DO NOTHING... Yep, later did I know in that evening that I was in the right path... "I' on the right track baby, I was born this way!!!" -lady gaga

Team gets To Success (day 9)

I just remembered the equation for Success and Wealth from the book; One Minute Millionaire... Dream + Theme + "Team" = Success... "no man is an Island" famous quote from the common people of the society, yet is very True to life. I've come to realize that whenever a person is Successful... They always have a group of people who supported them. It maybe there families, friends, and business partners who have come to join forces and achieve success. And now here it is... A year ago I was a man full of dreams and wanted to achieved all of it. But, it came to me with all by myself, it would really take me no more than hundred years to achieve it. Like I was Guko from Dragonball Z that I could live for 200 years. Impossible!!! So the ugly event happened... I badly wanted my dreams and decided to really work hard on it.. But it turn to be a failure... I thought I could make it by myself... And then the answer came. I found myself sitting beside this wonderful group of people dedicated to pursue there dreams of being successful. And yeah!!! Recently I'm one of them; The Radical Millionaires!!! and.... This persons were like me... We share about our dreams and encourage everyone to pursue them. Talks in all positive words... Men!!! I'm really in It.... and also found myself EARNING more on financial, physical, emotional, mental, relational. ahahaha!!! Love this awesome group of people. Special thanks to Janmck and Lovely Hilado, Joel Earl Melgo, Ashley, and all of the RadMil's!!! done with one step!!! still looking for the 2!!!

Culture does Work (day 8)

Last Monday, I just remembered the word Culture... what does culture do to your success? This... Early afternoon, we and our Radical Millionaire friends went out to chill in Starbucks. Almost all of the radical millionaires were there. A few minutes after, Jan said, "Benson were's your key necklace?"(radical millionaires have this signature necklace we always wear to hype ourselves to be the very best everywhwere we go as a group member). "Oopsss. I forgot it, sorry". Joel and Jan said, "halaaa, your ejected in the group. Joke!". "It's okay but just remember, that key is a symbolism that you are a key to peoples success so wear them". So again, with a smile... We went through the day and I even closed a deal in Vmobile because I was thingking I am there key to success... Late in the afternoon I simply realize how simple culture does to a persons mind. :)

Plant Your Seeds (day 5)

Friday morning... I stretched my long tired arms, woke up, shouted my affirmations and smiled. "It's gonna be a good day". Made my daily routines and "puff it became COCO crunch"! Joke... I ate Coco as my breakfast. After the milky and chocolaty meal, I started to read my Assignment book given by my mentor. On the heading the chapter wrote... "Plant Your Seeds"!!! Just love this book, my Idol wrote this... Bro. Bo Sanchez. I just so admire his passion for writing. Hope I could become like him one day. Oooppss!! Sorry for the disconnection... Now back to the topic, plant your seeds. One of the biggest lesson of the wealthy... This is the crucial part of success, the planting time. Most people does not give much time in planting because they focus on the harvest. Let me say "people want to be rich. But what do they do?? watch TV for 4 hours and sit on the couch" sometimes even more. So are you going to have something? Maybe a memory of the greatest TV shows you've watch. No!!! I mean... If you want to be rich or successful in life do something for a start. Like you want to be a good speaker, join Toastsmasters... Want to be a successful investor, read books about Warren Buffet. I mean do something that makes your way to success... After realizing this whole statement... I stood up talked to a friend on a phone and invited him for a Business Opportunity Meeting in VMobile Technologies. later that night... After the seminar. he called me... "Ber, I want to sign up this monday". Wew... Just planted a seed!!! Grew like a fast wind. So plant your seeds... Don't mind about the consequences or results... "Just Do it!" -Nike
