Opportunities abound; for every door that is closed, several will be opened

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

It was very disappointing and distressing that projects we were courting negotiating did not push through:

1.  Somebody balked and changed his mind from JV to sell after 6 months, and after accommodating the land owner for a hefty sum, and after having the project pre approved by the mayor.

2.  The one we are pursuing at an island province seemed to have stalled as we had no more news about our discussion on a proposed deal.

However I got the following offer:

1.  MP, untitled, 3 hectares on a mountain slope, a plateau and overlooking

2.  MP a 3.9 hectare project titled, no hill climb, for sale;  we proposed a JV.  What a relief from Guido case and all that controversy  

3.  A 2.9 hectare near the highway, overlooking, suitable for a high end big cut subdivision for a clustered vacation home project, resort, eatery, coffee shop.  Definitely a JV. 

So for one or two project lost, several will appear without you looking for a replacement.  

N. B.  Update.

1.  MP, untitled, 3 hectares on a mountain slope, a plateau and overlooking.   

      Not overlooking the Laguna Lake;   the ones that are overlooking at the back of the resort.

      Different negotiation.   The owners would like to build a school

     More accessible because of the Ynares avenue from Pantok, from Save more.   About 2.4 km.

     From Elem School about 1+ Km.  

2.  MP a 3.9 hectare project titled, no hill climb, for sale;  we proposed a JV.  What a relief from Guido case and all that controversy 

     So far away about 3 km from high way (from Phoenix) VM property.  So many ascent.    

     Roads are narrow.

3.  A 2.9 hectare near the highway, overlooking, suitable for a high end big cut subdivision for a clustered vacation home project, resort, eatery, coffee shop.  Definitely a JV. 

     The owner is the land owner and developer.   We can only get as much as 20% for

     Marketing  -    10%

     Design       -      5%

     Management -   5%.

     The owner is a contractor and does not have much experience in marketing and design.

So for one or two project lost, several will appear without you looking for a replacement.  

Changing retail landscapes in the US and other shopping centers of the world - will PHL follow suit

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

Many places in the world, formerly known to be cache in shopping have lost their traction and have closed.

1.  Every store in Beverly Hills is closed

2.  Stores in San Francisco closed

3.  Problem of store closing in US - due to online business?

4.  HK no longer a shopper's paradise?

The most viable and survivable businesses are the ones that meet the basic needs

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

Looking for a business to put up?  Look no further.  Find the basic needs that are insufficiently met, or where there are gaps in the processes and customer satisfaction in your micro market.   Avoid high tech businesses that you know little of and those endorsed by gurus.

Go back to the Needs, and the basic:   food, shelter, safety and security, biological needs.  

For those in wants:   you are fighting in a specialized tightly niched markets and unless you know very well the practices  you can fail.   Unless you are meticulous, hard driving and focussed.

So what are those businesses:

1.  Food -  service, delivery, producing, processing, retail

2.  Shelter -  housing rental properties,, hostels,  - thus real estate

3.  Finances -  lending, savings, investment, insurance
