Our Spentrep Class yesterday February 17, 2014

Rizal Philippines  |  February 18, 2014

We had 7 attendance yesterday at the Spentrep class:  Francis was sick and Pam quit her two subjects in MBA all together because of conflict with her work. She was assigned a challenging project and she asked me to sign her withdrawal form.

There were only 3 things we did last night:  the IV of Christel, the Special reports of  Jen (whom I learned is the daughter of retired General Ursua of Philippine Army) who reported on "Go Negosyo"and of Grace Agustin who reported on the "Business and the Bible"  Jen Ursua even had a prop:   the professor was wearing a Go Negosyo shirt (which is a rare shirt and which was given only to a Go Negosyo lecturer) and letter from the CEO of Go Negosyo Mr. Joe Concepcion III.   (I wish we could post Joey's letter here. That I wore that T shirt in time for her report, she said was serendipity. (She is 53 yo?)


 

Grace who was very hesitant and tentative to make her presentation last night did a very good report on Business and the Bible.  Her main thrust was "Why Jesus is an entrepreneur?" and I did a lot of commentaries.  Most of what I was teaching, and prescribing for say Business Plan are from her SR. So please comply with the prescribed format;  its prescribed by no less than the Lord:

1.   Purpose.  Begin with the end in mind (Stephen Covey)  In the BP, these are the concepts and Business Objectives.  VMO are important pala, not only in BP but also in our lives.  Have a purpose driven life.  A life without a purpose.... a business without a purpose, is like an aimless rudderless ship.

2.  Message   The 3 word tag.  The business accelerator.  The link to the customer.  The communication to the customer.  The link.  The placement.

3.  Positioning.  What is the product vs the customer. Who is your PTM (the target market)

4.  Discipleship.  The business organization.  Who will do certain manageable execution for you.  The partners (in the business model canvass.

5.  Innovation (the NU 12)

6.  Make possible. Make your dreams come true.   An entrepreneur is the one who "believes in the beauty of his dreams and pursue the same relentlessly."

7.  Legacy  (from MESEL lesson of Starbucks)  I even had "Handog" by Florante played to emphasize legacy.





Light green moments:

1.  The positioning -  some were red faced when their favorites were asked.

2.  "Thongs" - typo error in camote que presentation.  Should be tongs.
