Key learning from AGSB Iloilo guest entrepreneurs

Rizal   Philippines   |    January 10 2014

What were the key take home points from the two guest entrepreneurs we had:   Felix Tiu and Buddy Silva?.

Felix Tiu emphasized the importance of opportunity -  opportunity must be just beside you or within your experience.  His plane seat mate was source of important information in business which he referred to his friends.   Travelling abroad let him know about automatic candy making machine.   His inability to sell a foreclosed asset let him in the real estate development business.  That is why if you see his business, they are diverse and may  be unrelated to one another because they were driven by availability of the opportunity.

Buddy on the other hand underscored the context, the importance of the why rather than the how, and the adaptability, the openness (context) of the entrepreneur towards content to let him understand new business and innovate.

The right context - remove impossible from you mind; everything is possible

WALANG IMPOSSIBLE

Our Entrep guest today, sir Buddy, a nursing graduate turned MLM head for Forever Living in Western Visayas, said it is important to have the right context to be a great entrepreneur.   You have to expand your thinking to accommodate contents.

Or the other way around, you have to empty your mind of negative thoughts, and impossible and hardships.  All things are possible with  -  God.
