Prof Jorge - ATENEO entrep: visit

Sunday, June 9, 2024

What ever you do, make it a point to visit your bank - even when you do not need anything from your bank

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

I have come across this advice when I took up my MBA. Visit your bank when ever you have time. Even if you have dont need anything.

And further reenforced by reading on networking. Network when everything is fine; not when the well is dry.

So in visit to Calamba, I again visited the bank. We did not discuss any business. Just how do you do.

Its their task to visit top accounts. But we are in Angono. They cant visit us there. Although, one of their managers made it a point to make presentation in Angono, although he heads Calamba

Thank you sir

Visiting students' business/places of work at AGSB Iloilo entrep subject

Iloilo City, February 8, 2014

Prof Jorge at AM Builders HO with their VP Christian and rest of the class

I had been harping that we do site visits of Iloilo AGSB MBA Regis as part of the learning process. Since we had eaten at 4 restaurants all ready, we had done the food trip: at Cilantro, Tatoy, Funsyon and Chicken Inato.

I stopped in front of Coke yesterday and was planning my own plant visit yesterday. But it took sometime for Ramey to answer.

Today, we had the opportunity to be at AM Builder's Head office, at Amigo Hotel and Mall, and at Transcomm. Christian, Terence, and Pam were very kind enough to show us around.

OMG. These students are no ordinary students. Christian and Terence are moguls. Terence family are into agri, feeds, sugar, soybean flour (commodity business). Christian's family employ over 400 students and has 18 stores in locations like Mindoro, Capiz, Iloilo and must have sales over a billion a year (with inventories nearly a billion).

We are humbled by the fact that we still had to teach them. Thanks God, I had a lot of things to still impart to them. And time was not on our side.
