Entrep talk by Buddy Silva - from nursing, MLM to logistics and high tech GPS system

Iloilo City   |  February 8, 2014

                                  Passion and the why are more important than the how

Today is the last session of Iloilo AGSB entrep.  We had our guest entrepreneur today hosted by group of Terence, Ramey and Jan -  Mr. Buddy Silva III .  He is an acquaintance of Terence.  The credentials of Buddy are impressive as he trained abroad under various marketing guru (courtesy of MLM outfit Forever Living.  At that time, he had downline numbering 3,000 who account for almost P40 million a month in WesternVisayas.

He finished nursing, and as fate had it, he moved into trucking and logistics serving the trucking needs of Western Visayas business.  (He is service provider of AM Builders (c/o Christian Rafael).  But his clients are mostly from Manila (who are outsourcing delivery to the provinces via the Roro nautical highway.)

His new business now is GPS tracking with telemetry of important vehicle function:  braking, braking habits etc. fuel consumption, emission (just like what they do at formula cars racing telemetry)  His consultants are specialist in this. The GPS is an apps he needed to run his trucking business well.  The latter is unique and he plans to offer this at P10t per which is affordable.  Coke which has l50 vehicles in Iloilo could be a customer.

He sees GPS as his growth and promising business (the star) which would make him well known world wide. Silicon Valley is communicating with him as one of the new techies to adopt -  one of the new l00 companies for the 2014.    Until 2016, he sees trucking in support of construction to be doing very well

For buddy, it is the What (the motivation that is more important) than How. The What will motivate you to know the steps how to get to your goal.

He names this from his training:   context vs content.  Context would be mindset.   Opening your mind to new learning is context.  Expanding mindset, changing the paradigm is context to accommodate more content.
