Find your vision and follow it

Is it too late Finding your vision?

As long as you live, you can always find your vision and follow it. Most of successful people made their success at their retirement age. They bring vision to life when they get older. This is a legacy you can leave behind to your family. 

What is your Vision?

First of all, let’s talk about your vision. A vision is what you foresee yourself to be where you are in the future. Some say it’s a dream. As long as it is something you are aiming for, that’s what defines your vision. It can be a state of becoming who you want to be, or what you want to have in the future. 

With that being said, you can write your own vision. Regardless of your situation right now, you can still pursue what you are aiming for. The keyword is improvement, upgrade, acquire etc. 

How will you follow your vision?

After you have identified your vision, the next step is “how?. This is the action plan. No matter how high your visions are, you can achieve it! But the key player is always YOU. 

Set target and aim for it

Just keep in mind what you are aiming for. It may give a greater challenge to you as you are walking through a path of “never been there yet” it is an unfamiliar path but for sure you know its the one you want to take. 

Like for example a means to create new income. Having been employed for such a long time, getting paid for the time you spent, you can compare the efforts needed if you are aiming for a much higher income to your current job. 

The challenge will be, the time you will spend, the effort you will give and the knowledge you have to make that vision a reality. 

Set an action plan

Planning is the key to making your vision to reality. Planning prepares you ahead of time so that you can see the obstacles you might encounter. Failing to plan is planning to fail. Most of all Commit them to God and He will direct your path. 

Make some realistic goals and make an action plan each week. Take small steps and make sure you move forward every day. This will bring you to your success. 

Set a specific deadline

As you move ahead, be sure to set a specific deadline. You can determine how much time you need to reach your goal. Keep moving and keep monitoring your progress. If the task is too big, you can delegate to other people. This will help you speed up the process. 

Celebrate

Each time you accomplish a milestone, don’t forget to celebrate. Thank God for it and give back the Glory to Him.

This is your first formula for success. 

Watch out for the second one.

 The Business Growth Principle

No business have grown overnight, it is a process!

If you have made the decision to do any business, Congratulations! 

You have surpassed the greatest obstacle. But wait, after this what?

You might be asking that question, but you are in a far better position now compared to those who have not made any decision yet. You are standing on a starting point of an Entrepreneur. That is your Day 1 as shown in our image below. 

The ladder of Success 

Your direction is going upward. This is what you are going through starting from Day 1. As shown in our image below, the top part is the SUCCESS, this is your DESTINATION. There will always by a STARTING POINT and your FINAL DESTINATION. Depending on how you measure your success, the timeline may become long or short. This is where you are going to start. You need to set up a realistic goal on your SUCCESS. 

Doing Business is your journey. The more you move forward, the more you get closer to your SUCCESS. Most of the time, people are overwhelmed by their final destiny, but the real essence is in the way you travel along that journey. There is a big GAP between your starting point and your destination. As high as your DREAMS and VISIONS, you can create a segment of that  roadmap to your success by doing a consistent task everyday. This will be your daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals.  

 Imagine you are in front of a mountain. Looking at it in front view, you will see a very high top (SUCCESS). This point of view an impossible DREAM.  Although this may seem very impossible to achieve if you are looking at it this way. There will always be a good way to view things. Seeing it at a different view, we can add a timeline towards that destination.

For Example, you are traveling a 200 km distance, you can now plan for the ways and means you can get there. There are so many different options and each option can give you different solutions and a specific time frame to reach your destination. An option to take a bus, may take you 2 hours, by private car, can be less while riding a bike or walking will take you more time to reach the end.

What is important is that you know what is the level of success you are looking for. Some can be higher than what you want to achieve, and some may be lower. This is where you can check the level of what you want to achieve.

As you go along, that DREAM can change over time and as you learn to develop your process. This will then create a system where you can duplicate so that you can avoid the mistakes in the past. If you are doing it alone, you can learn to transfer the knowledge to people where you build your Team and leverage your accomplishments through the time of other people.

In Item no. 6 of the Tips mentioned above, BUILDING A STRONG TEM is your key element in achieving higher Goals. This is what our training program is aiming for you as our reader and follower. 

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT starts from you getting all the information you need and learn the process. Then develop a system that can be duplicated and delegated with people you can trust.

This will lead you to our TRAINING PROGRAM. 

Our training Program

Learn and Build is a training program that holds the principle of helping you bridge the gap between now (Day1) and your success. If you look at your time frame, your success will become more realistic because you can make a program to achieve one step at a time with your daily activities with the corresponding trainings you need. 

This image will give you clearly the path you are going to pass. There are ups and downs which is part of the PROCESS. Just keep moving forward as you learn. 

Here’s the graph of what you need to do. We have made a program to reach your SUCCESS.

The Ladder of success

Some may call it roadmap to success. In our figure above, i think it is more suitable to see our progress as a ladder or a stair. Each step of the way brings you closer to your dream. The process between now and your success are in the areas of Learning, Teaching, Delegating, Multiplying before reaching out the level of success you are aiming for. 

In terms of money, you might be wanting to achieve a $50,000 income per month, to smoe maybe $100,000 or $1M. It is all up to the person doing the business. Off course the level of commitment will be different too. If you want the biggest one you have to act fast. Meaning learn fast, work fast and work hard. As compared to the one wanting a lower value. 

Remember that DREAMS are GOALS  achieved with a specific time frame. 

Learning

Each stages you will pass needs learning. Thats why at the beginning, you need to develop a habit of learning. Most people failing in this business are those that are not in the mood of learning. Their attitude is the biggest problem. The first thing to deal with is to stay humble and teachable so you can keep learning. 

GLLA (Good Listening and Learning Attitude). 

To whom will you Learn?

To successful people. Those people that have already achieved that level of success. They are very much qualified to teach because they practiced what they preached. It is important to learn from them and follow their footsteps. 

The learning process goes up to another level which will bring one level up to your success. 

1. Learn 

Learn the skills you need to grow. Learning can be easy or difficult depending on the attitude.? If you develop an attitude of Good Listening and Learning Attitude, you can get the skills you need easily. 

 

What you need to Learn

The very first lesson you need to know is the principle of growth and the means to produce income. What will be your method to earn? There are 3 ways in 3 R principles;

• Reseller - with products on hand, you can do the traditional method which is selling. Selling by sharing the good benefit the product you have
• Recruiter - out of those regular buyer, you can invite those people who are interested to earn extra ny becoming a retailer. He gains commission from the product he sells
• Retention - is the principle of keeping them and teaching them new skills. Just like you did, they are your business partner that you should retain. Teaching them is the best way to grow together. 

2. Teach

This is the second level of learning. To equip you to be able for you to teach effectively. The faster you can teach, the better but don’t be in a hurry. Some people are hard learners, some are fast learners. Keep doing the 3R principle. Establish a good number of people using your product to sustain your daily expenses. Keep looking for potential resellers and keep teaching those you that expressed interest to do the same business you are doing. This is a principle of multiplying your income in 3 ways. Master these 3 and you can reach to the next level.

3. Delegate

The delegation of work is the assurance that you get the right knowledge and pass on to the next with the same system you do. That means that you can rely on the person you are teaching so that he can teach as well. The most single proprietor business are not growing because they failed to do this stage. It will help you ease your activity but not your productivity. You will now be in a supervision stage. You get more advantage to oversee bigger things because have delegated a big task. 

4. Duplicate

This is a business of copy n paste. The reason why big businesses are getting bigger and bigger is because the are duplicated. Don’t reinvent the wheel, just follow the system, the proven system of successful people.

5. Multiply

The more you multiply your organization, the more you get bigger income. This is the stage where your earnings become unstoppable. Because your people are working just like you did.

To summarized the business Growth principle by multiplication, here’s the process;

1. I do it - You watch stage - Learning

2. I do it - You Help  stage - Teaching

3. I watch - You do it stage Delegate

4. You watch - He do it stage - Duplicate

5. He watch - He do it stage - Multiply

This is a cycle that has proven time and time again. It may seem simple but it can be complicated. With a Good listening and Learning Attitude, you ca be successful. Don’t learn the hard way, learn the smart way!

The Law of Leverage 

The system used in this method is the same system used by successful people. It is called the “Law of Leverage” if you own a business, and want to earn bigger income you need to branch out. The more branches you have the bigger income you will have. But as a start, you need to feed your own business to grow. It will start basically with you. Alone doing multi-tasking  job. It will be hard work initially and as you grow you work smartly. There are times you need to put extra hour just to get what you are aiming for. You can earn income but it will still be small. 

The Learning process

The best teacher is our ability to learn. And when you learn more, you can teach more with the right attitude.

Before you work hard and achieve small, at this time, the same hardship but different level of activities but your earning at this stage is bigger than it was. By this stage in time, you will be achieving something. Getting closer to your success.

DAY 1 is different from ONE DAY. Day 1 is the actual counting of your big dreams. It cones after making that big decision. That means you are in business! The more you need to learn because the process may take longer if you make a trial and error. Go for the system that has been proven and works best.

 “ONE DAY” is a wanderer. Having big dreams is good but dreams without action is a wishful thinking. You keep dreaming that One day you’ll be there. This should come after the decision as well. Dream, Decide and Dream again and set your feet to Day 1. 

This is the right decision. With action. Don’t delay, after learning what you need to do make a decision right away. 

Invest small and keep Learning

Learn and accomplish something

 

Successful people have goals | learn and accomplish something

To accomplish something you need to learn. To learn is to accomplish something. Our training program revolves around these principles. Learn and Build!

First we would like to train you, 

What kind of training you need?

As you are searching online, what do you usually search? Is it an opportunity to earn income online? Or getting started with a business online? Out of those searches, I thought of making a program suitable not only for the topics you are searching for, but actually helping you to achieve it. 

There are people seeing an opportunity online, got so excited and motivated but end up failing. Or some have seen the opportunity but never made any decision at all. 

Meeting both of these situation, I have come up with a training program that will prepare you, not only to excite you but provide you with small steps towards success. There is no secret formula to success, but there is a system that works! 

The formula for success is in the HARD WORK, with clear vision of where you want to go!

This is backed up with the training you need in every step you will encounter along. As you learn, you will also do something to move forward. Developing a habit will eventually lead you to be consistent. As you establish that, you are developing a DISCIPLINE, and that discipline will give you a CHARACTER. Becoming successful is not only changing your financial status but more so a your LIFE and CHARACTER!

The first training you will get is the training to MAKE A DECISION | The PREPARATION

After seeing an opportunity, how well are you able to make a decision?  

This is the hardest of all the training you will encounter, Why? 

Because it deals with a Mindset and a commitment!. 

Mindset because its your first time to enter an unknown venture. You think doing business is a familiar zone? Its not! If you have been employed for such a long time, your mindset is actually conditioned to earn in an employment setting. Therefore, the attitude towards business is also geared towards the way it thinks and works in employment system. this needs to be addressed which actually starts from the mind. Therefore needs to be fed with right information about How the business will work.

The mind will eventually drive your emotions to make the RIGHT and GOOD DECISION. That is the PREPARATION for a long journey to the business world which will enable you to earn more, but it does not come easy. 

The journey may be long but it can be fast or the journey may be short but it will take long tine. It depends on you, the fast you learn, the faster you can make that Decision. 

What training you need to prepare your Mind to Make a Good and Right Decision? 

1. The Different ways to Earn Income 

2. Facing the Greatest Fear

3. Becoming an Entrepreneur

1. The Different ways to Earn Income

There are 4 different ways to earn income. Its either from Employment, Self Employment or Business and Investment. 

Most common are Employment and Self- employment. These two are called Active Income. It is active in a sense that you are getting paid for the time you work for. “No work no pay” scheme. And this is where most people get stuck. At the initial age of being employed. As early as 30 years old. Its ok to be employed as you are just getting started. But remaining employed and expenses are getting bigger, its either you work hard to get promoted or find another high paying job as alternative. Again the dilemma is if you can find new and high paying job. Even if you find, the cycle goes on and expenses goes up faster than salaries.

According to Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon, The best alternative is to “start small”, to learn how to do that  you can read or blog on here start small dream big . 

While employed, take the opportunity to start a small business or start with what you have. Know which is the first step and accomplish that then move to the next. As I mentioned Jeff Bezos, I remember his humble beginnings with establishing amazon where he told a story getting started, he was even carrying the first product order and delivering it to the customer. Then later thought of how to manage the delivery of massive orders and as the situation arise, he keeps expanding according the need and responded to it. That’s how he got big! Every small steps are important to achieving bigger things in your life.

2. Facing the Geatest Fear

Facing the greatest fear is the next big factor to consider in making a good decision. Because doing business is not what we are taught, we face a lot of fear. 

This is the “fear of the unknown”. If you have knowledge, you can overcome those fears. Just like learning how to drive a car. At first you are afraid because you don’t know, but as you learn step by step, that fear is slowly going away. 

Face your fear with the right knowledge. 

That’s how Learning is important. This is what our program intends to do. To help you get the right knowledge of doing an online or offline business of your own. It does mot matter how long it will take for you to learn as long as you build a strong foundation. That will be our greatest success, to see each and everyone of you fulfilling the dreams you dreamed long time ago but now it will be a reality because we are helping you plan for it in the upcoming trainings. 

Go ahead and connect with us on our Facebook page to learn more. We provide training for you. Sign up here to take part in our updates.

3. Becoming an Entrepreneur

Becoming an entrepreneur is a matter of changing your mindset. Making money from business may take some time to get the income you are aiming for. Nobody get started with business that earns money immediately. 

That’s the difference between employment. That’s why more people get comfortable remaining employed. That’s why changing your mindset is the core of everything to get you started. This is part of the preparation to help you make a good and right decision. 

These are just part of the learnings you will get from our training program. LEARN and BUILD. 

Learn the right knowledge and Skills and Build a long and lasting business.

Failure is success in progress

Why failure leads to your success?

More often, we look at failure in a negative way. A means to close the door and never try again. In most cases, people who made extra mile to stand up and get back on their feet are more likely to achieve success. We see so many inspiring stories of successful people have gone the same thing, the more failure they got, the higher they climb to the ladder reaching new heights. Failures is a blessing in disguise if we look at it in a positive way. 

Failure is a part of the process in success formula!

1. How is failure a success in progress?

These are some of the points that leads to success;

According to Caroline Castrillon in her article “Why failure Leads to Career Success”  

• Failure leads to success and it can help check your ego
• It is an inspiration to positive change in our behavior
• Failure gives you a new perspective
• Failure teaches you to be resilience 

Checking our Ego 

Whenever we fail, we need to check our ego. Are we to entertain pride or be humble? This is the biggest game changer. If we chose to drop that pride and be humble to change our act, you are on your way to success. Failure fosters humility that will lead to self improvement. The fact that we recognize the failure, we are allowing ourselves to accept our limitations which can lead to find new ideas and new ways to perform whatever task we are doing that causes the failure. 

Changing our behavior

As soon as you recognize the mistake and humbled yourself, the kind of behavior changes. We will never look back on our failures, regardless of how many times we fall. The focus is on how to get there, thats attainable if we have that positive attitude. 

This will drive us up and keep us moving forward.

New perspective

The process goes on and it will become precedent. New heights, new perspectives comes into play. The way we perceive things change as well. New direction or new way to combat the task we are doing towards the goal. 

The more we recognize our mistake, the better we see clearly and that leads to our next point, being resilient.

Resiliency 

Is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties, to spring back into shape. A task done repetitious becomes easier. As long  as you keep trying, and keep doing, you become the master of your skill.

Stopping is not the option but our determination to move forward brings failure a success in Progress.

Learn and Build | How to start online business for free

Learn new skill and build your own business

This is the theme for our training program, Learn and Build. If you are looking for ways to earn income online from home or start your own business, you can stop right here. Think a while and what I’m going to tell you is a bombshell. This is very serious if you are really desperate to know how to start online business for free.  I want you to focus. 

3 Major steps to be successful

Knowing how to start an online business and what business to do, is just the tip of the iceberg. 

The business is a long Journey and it is a process

The fist major step is the step  of making a decision.

The starting point is always the most difficult and most crucial. In this video, we are teaching you how to create your own business. It is a new and disruptive approach to Designing your own Business, but the demarcation line is a thin line that will determine your eagerness to do or not to do. The real battle ground is in the mind. If you have the courage to do it, you can take that first step. 

Before going further, let me share with you those hurdles and hopefully you can learn how to deal with it and take that leap of faith and start your own journey with us.

1. The most difficult hurdle is this first step which is to make your FINAL DECISION

It is the threshold that will determine your success. Though it seems to be simple and easy, many fall into this stage. Out of 10 people, only 1 to 3 people have the guts to make that big leap.  

Though people made their decision, another hurdle which is 

2. The second step is the ability or availability and willingness to learn the skills you need to know before going into the real action. 

The training process is often ignored and people tend to shortcut the process. They fall into the trap that if you are in a business, money starts to fall. As if it will automatically fall on your head. 

That’s totally a wishful thinking. No business grows overnight. It is still a long process. Hard work is required in the beginning and in the middle and even at the end. But that hard work should match with smart work!

3. Third step is to make it grow and sustain it 

It is not enough that you learn, but put all learnings into action! Growing your business can be exponential if you know how it works. There are 3 ways you can multiply your income. 

• Build more customers
• Establish group of resellers
• Create more business partners and expand

These are the process you need to undergo to build a long and lasting business. 

This is why Learn and Build is created to provide an answer to these major problems people encounter in starting and building an online business for free on their own. 

The backbone and the key to all of these is in the training program. The training program that deals with each of the 3 steps you need to do. 

Training with actionable plans that will be monitored closely. We will be doing activities that will set your mindset to a learning mode and doing the action plan on a systematic way, so that while learning, you are already building your business as well. 

The GAP between Dream and Reality is an action plan. 

The learning process starts before you make the Decision. 

If you want to learn more and willing to start an online business for free, we are in a business of making you to what you need to be, a business man with proper mindset and skillset to do a consistent work even at the spare time you have while currently working as employee.

How to Start an online business part 1

Start your online business | Earn income online from home

The first thing and the most difficult thing is to identify how you can start your own business from home. Getting new business ideas can be very challenging. Considering a situation where you have a very limited resources like getting started without money. Learn and build will help you learn and earn income online from home.


How you can start especially in this challenging time of crisis and global pandemic.
Many have turned into online business, some are successful and some are not, what makes it different? How are those people getting their success? What are the requirements?
Let us answer each question and see what practical things we can do to help you get started.

What makes it Different?

Why are there people becoming so successful? The difference is in the Learning. Mastery of your craft makes it different. Do you have the right knowledge of the business? and do you posses the skills needed to operate it? These two works together in making your own success journey. 
As discussed in the previous blog about "How to start the right business of your own" which discusses the inward qualification which will drive you more motivated to do the business no matter what happens, this time it is an outward qualification which will guide you more technically on how to start a business without money, doing it online. 

What is the right knowledge to start a business?

Many people has the motivation to do the business but don't know what kind of business they want to do. Traditional business will always drive you to put more investment even if you will start small. And that small investment is still big for an average employee or even unemployed people.
There are 4 sources of income. According to Robert Kiyosaki in his book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" There are 4 quadrants, which represents the 4 means of income. The first 2 quadrants comes from the left side which is the Employment and Self-Employment as shown in the image below,

THE ACTIVE INCOME GROUP (LEFT SIDE OF THE QUADRANT)

The left side of the quadrant belongs to the ACTIVE INCOME group. They are very hard working people and they get paid to what they worked for. It is Active because they get paid for the hours they worked for and if they happen to get sick and they cant work, they don't get paid for the absences. Both Employed and Self-Employed are tied to their commitment and cannot afford to get sick. 
This is a good source of income for younger people who are just getting started. Those who have finished their degree and are eager to be in a corporate world. The income can be satisfying at first but it cannot sustain for longer term especially when one started a family of his own. The income remains the same or it might increase but cannot cope with the high cost of living where the expenses are getting bigger than the salary. 

The RAT RACE is ON!, Most middle ages are in this stage where they want to get higher income but cannot leave their job immediately. 
They are tied with their 8 hours to 12 hours job every day. The cycle becomes routinely and the longer they stay, the more they are tied. They long to have time with the family but spends most of the time in their company. 
Most of them does not have money to spend on holidays and other important occasions. Meaning, they have NO TIME FREEDOM and NO FINANCIAL FREEDOM.
The normal thing is to Spend quality time with the family and to buy the things you need and even sometime you want. The most frustrating part for these two types of people don't possess both. SELF-EMPLOYED may earn bigger income, but with the demand of his work, He don't have more time to spend with the family. For Example, a self-employed doctor who owns his own clinic and having a full time job in a hospital. After work, he spends time to serve his patients, the  more patients he gets the more he earns money. These are the people with much money but NO TIME with the Family!

I have created a survey, participate in the survey here so i can know what you are looking for. This way i can give you more related training programs in the near future

THE PASSIVE INCOME GROUP (RIGHT SIDE OF THE QUADRANT)

The right side of the quadrant are people who belongs to the Business and Investors. They are the people who earns big income. The Businessmen are people who have started small, worked hard and now they are reaping the good reward of their hard work. The income is much bigger and better than any highest paid employees. They are the people who invested their money and their time. And when they are earning more, they put their money in a proper investment. So they earn even more. They have TIME FREEDOM and FINANCIAL FREEDOM.
We can possibly say that Rich becomes richer, while poor becomes poorer. Sad to say that Employees are in that stage where they become poorer because they are struggling with their monthly expenses, where their means cannot meet the ends, while rich people continually grow their earnings.
So to answer our first question, "Why are there people becoming successful?", People chose their path. The wiser person chose the right means to get the right income earning potential. I can say that those people who become successful are those that have the proper perspective on what they want and how they are getting it with the right means of opportunities. 

It doesn't mean that employees don't become successful, but according to research,  only 1% of all employed in the world become rich. And the position they are holding are those that are paid as CEO's or President of the Company where they ran the company owned by Businessmen.
  3% have already retired and are dead being employed96% are still working at the age of retirement
This research shows that majority of people are in the employment quadrant. And the percentage is rare to those who wants to fulfill the Time Freedom and Financial Freedom. 
To become successful, you must have the right perspective as to where you would want to get the source of your income. Most people think of employment is the only source of income while there are actually 4 sources.
To those who wants to get started, they cannot start with a business because they lack knowledge. So they still end up getting employed. The next question is;
How Can One get Started with The Business?
You can get started early if you are young and energetic to be employed, but don't get their too long, you can join a company and work hard, save enough money to get you started with a business which you need to spend time knowing about it. Preparation is the key. 
While earning, take time to shift from being employed to becoming an entrepreneur. So that you can have a smooth transition. Spend 5 years in a company and learn more about its system. Review, evaluate and create your own system. Make it more simpler and efficient. This is how you can get started.
But what about those who are in the middle age, where they are stuck in their job but wants to have a higher paying job? These are the people im concerned of, to get started with the business,
what kind of business you can do? 
They may have no savings at all because of the demand of spending for the necessities of life like spending for the tuition fees of their children, paying mortgages for housing loans and car loans, some utility bills. They may have savings but those are allocated for emergencies. what if someone gets sick and medical insurances cannot cover the cost. So, starting a business with a capital is a big no, no to them.
The only business they can do is a business online without money involved. To be honest, any business you do will require investment, but the most practical way to get started is to start online. Especially in this time of uncertainty brought by the Global pandemic. The online business has actually blossomed, but not all. As we have mentioned in the beginning, "why are there people becoming successful?", this is our second answer to that question, to  know the right business you can do without money involved.
You can start online business by getting the training you need and the skill set you need in preparation for the actual business. It will start with the business idea, where you can be equipped with the right knowledge of how you will do the business online.
