The billionaire mentality

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

Why are some people lucky?   Why do they have all the ideas in the world?   How come we can only come up with mediocre dry ideas.

We often see posts about billionaire:

1.  Making suggestions on a  barbershop that is hardly breaking even.  He advises the chief barber owner to offer free hair cut.  It is a way of just getting customers in the store, generate traffic, creare the ambiance that people are rushing in.  Money is made in grooming kits, shaving kits and membership

2.  Making a suggestion to a coffee shop to make coffee free.  It would devastate the finances of the coffee shop .  But the billionaire suggest that money is to be made not on coffee but on other products:   sandwhich, coffee blend, mugs and the like.       Others would buy other stuff in the store.  The free always draw in the crowd

3.  The billiard hall that is empty.  Offer first 30 minutes free.

What can we offer as free or as a bait?  Free interment?    For so many number of plots

Free posts helped others start a business, and even their teaching career

This post shared freely ppts on entrepreneurship via slideshare.  He also had posts about his particular business. While in travel abroad, he encountered some tourists.  One of them was a professor at a State University.  After getting to know, he said that he used some of my ppt in his class.  That was great to be a reference.   When I reviewed some of the most important ppt on entrepreneurship, many of them had thousands of view world wide.

And then I learned that a boss in a memorial park project in Southern Luzon in a recruitment interview,  relied on my post about making a business plan for this business. Isnt that great.  

For both cases, this post did not get paid.   However, Dan Millert, said that you shouldl give some of your best work, ideas for free   You should help others get free.  However, for coaching, workshop, ftf seminars, you should get paid as much $10,000 per day.  (Some I know charge $2,000 per day)

For Go Negosyo, for caravans, and even one on one mentoring, they were pro bono.  

I had planted the seeds of prosperity

A different kind of Health Card (experimented in house)

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

To take care of the health of our staff, we experimented having this kind of health card:

1.  We had contributory:    1:5 ratio.   For every 1 of employee we gave P5.00  If the employee resigns, he gets the P1.00;

2.  The rewards are for not getting sick:

      1.  If you get sick and have to use the card,  the employee premium rises by 10%; the employers does

           not;

      2.  The unspent employee fund for not getting sick is tallied and totaled:  it is a savings health card;

            unlike most health cards which are spend health card.

      3.  There is free med exam at the start of the year blood exam, ecg, etc to make sure you are healthy

      4.  There is PE every Saturday and this is funded by the Health Care fund

This made profit and had accumulated fund as surplus.  For one reason or another, Management discontinued this   SAYANG

Great resto - unique expensive and delicious

Because of too much traffic, we had to eat some more.  With some 11 team members on board, we had no choice except to find a place to eat, and that was Texas Road house at Arcovia .  It is a part of the Bistro Group TGIF whom I remember for Ittalianis GRAND (Guest Request are Never Denied - but maybe not true anymore because of two requests that were denied.  However it was quite noticeable regarding their positioning;

      1.  Free - peanuts and hot rolls with butter

      2.  Waiters singing and dancing

      3. Exquisite tasting steak, chicken, and other meat.

      4.  Expensive

      5.  Wood theme in the restaurant.

      6.  Sports TV inside.   

It is unthinkable how a group of Filipino entrepreneurs were able to put up a very realistic, US Texas experience. for eating
