3 Business Opportunity Scanning last May 1, 2025 Labor Day

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

This post had 3 business opportunity tripping/scanning to Laguna last Thursday, May 1, 2025.  While labor was celebrating its efforts, we were trying to find ways to provide jobs to laborers

1.  Laguna   a 6 hectare project planted to fruit trees, overlooking the Laguna Lake.  For possible hospitality business  However it is 5 km from the Rapids a tourist attraction.    There is source of water.  However the site is far away from the market.  Nothing in mind for our line of business.

2.  Laguna a 33 hectare, elevated.   near the recently completed water filtration plant of Manila Water. For possible quarry and socialized housing for big developers.  There was an exisitng purchaser who forfetited or bounced check for P5M and unable to deliver.

    We discussed last Saturday for options

     1.  Quarrying - doubtful as there are no civil works nearby

     2.  Social housing - still looking 

    Rizal, aa 1.3 project owned by an Auntie.   There is existing CTS (dapat EJ with sale) and not all parties have signed.   Will make some money if the buyer gives up.  

3.  A 2.4 hectare project near our existing project.   Talked to the persons brokering the deal:   a govt official, and the secretary of the seller.   They wanted a sale.  We are not in a position to buy.  A JV perhaps.  We are in the middle of two large construction project with over 9 digits in amount.  

     It would be advantageous to the owner of the property to go into JV:

     1.  He would save paperwork in licnese;

     2.  He would be able to ride on our expertise

     3.   As it is jv, the owner would get more from his asking price

     4.   He does not seem to have expertise as his plans roads are of the wrong width - not according to  standards.

     5.  He can focus on his business which is LPG.   

Only 3 is feasibile It would give us inventory of 6,000 and sale of about  600M, substantial returns for both parties.  I hope we can get this one

Mastery of opportunity

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

An entrepreneur must master opportunity.  What is an opportunity?   It is time space where you can make:

     

      CASH

      ANDA

      PERA

      PHP

      AREP

This is now what they call as monetizing your hobbies, interest, your parssion

An entrepreneur must not be shy to make money, to desire money, to make lots of it.  If you listen to 

the saying that money is the root of evil, what does it profit a man.... Then you cant make it.

We need money to survive, to pay for our food shelter and clothing.  That is why we look for a job.  That is the ultimate goal of our studies.

While in high school, I had a hobby, and it was a losing hobby.  I took pictures of school events of weddings Of course I spent on film and developing.  I gave away most of the pictures.   My class mate urged me to collect and ask for payment and do not be shy.   When you are a mature entrepreneur, you must not be shy to raise your prices, or ask for more in a negotiation.   The one who survives on this earth is someone who can tell others what he wants.

To address OPPORTUNITY  you must:

    

      1.  Seek  -  doing a serendipity walk, look at franchies -  ie business that is dissimilar to others

      2.  Scan/screen  -  evaluating what fits your skills and interest

      3.  Seize  - writing your business plan and starting it.  Seizing the day

Its like writing:

      1.  You scan what is trending

      2.  You select articles that interest you or are related to your themes

      3.  Then you write about it.

I all ready lost my power point presentation on this topic.  I shared this with Slideshare/Linked it.  But they monetized this.
