Today, I sat down in front of my laptop, hoping to write something about entrepreneurship which I could post here.
I went through my idea notebook and nothing appealed to me.
It’s not that there were no interesting topics, the truth is – I’m just feeling too lazy to write about any of them.
If you were in [...]

For most people, it’s “back to reality” today, September 8. After enjoying yet another long weekend, it’s time to resume work in the office.
It’s been three consecutive long weekends, with another one coming on September 21. I think that 2009 is by far, the year with the most public non-working holidays in recent Philippine history, [...]

We all have our lazy days.
Times when we are not in the mood to get off the bed, go out of the house and to work.
I believe it’s perfectly normal to feel this way once in a while.
But if the feeling of laziness is constant, then there’s something already wrong.
So what can we do if [...]

How many sources of income do you have?
A friend of mine has about six. He works as a part-time bookkeeper, sells vitamins for a direct-selling company, owns an eLoad business, buys and sells computer parts online, works as a Math tutor and occasionally gets an allowance for running important errands for his father’s company.
I know [...]

When I was still working in an office, I would often daydream of just working at home.
I would imagine myself sitting on the couch with a laptop in front of me. My favorite music playing in the background and I’d be working while wearing only my pambahay (home clothes).
Fast forward to the present time and [...]

Are you a multitasker? Do you try to do a lot of different things at the same time?
There are many arguments against multitasking when it comes to productivity. Some say that multitasking is actually counterproductive because you usually end up with nothing accomplished. Moreover, the quality of your results tend to be less than desired.
However, [...]

How do you successfully accomplish an overwhelming number of tasks? What do you do when project deadlines loom and you’re nowhere near half of the work yet?
The short answer is to stop worrying and continue working. But I know that’s easier said than done.
In my life as a freelancer and entrepreneur, I’ve learned that one [...]

Do you have plans and goals in your life? I’m sure you do because everyone does. They might be as simple as finishing a home project or starting a new hobby, or as grand as becoming a famous personality or traveling the whole world.
No matter what and how big your dreams are, it’s important that [...]

If you want to earn some extra income or even start your own business, the first obstacle you’ll probably have is finding the time to do it.
I’ve seen so many friends becoming excited about a sideline or a business idea and later on fail to actually carry out or see through their plans. It’s sad [...]

One of the best ways to make money nowadays is to become a blogger. I discovered this great opportunity last November 2007 and I must say, it’s been very fruitful. It has become a reliable source of income and more importantly, it provided a productive avenue for my passion in writing.
There are so many ways [...]

We all have to deal with frustration every once in a while in our lives. Even at a young age, we may already have experienced our own bouts on frustration. I can still remember mine as a kid, I would often get frustrated whenever I play Super Mario. Even if I had infinite lives, it’s [...]

What is leverage? What does it mean and why do a lot of finance experts use this term often? How important is it when it comes to money, business and wealth?
I first encountered this term in my high school Science class when we were studying about simple machines. That day, we talked about seesaws, fulcrums [...]

What is time? Does it really exist in nature or is it just an invention of man? I remember my Physics professor telling our class that time can be considered as the fourth dimension. I sometimes think about these questions when I’m ruminating in my room and waiting for sleep to come. But recently, I’ve [...]

How many times have you caught yourself daydreaming at work? You know that you have a lot of things to do but because of lack of motivation, you choose to stop and ponder why you’re stuck inside that cubicle and wishing that you were somewhere else. Don’t you hate these moments when you bump into [...]

There is no real connection between what we want and what we get in life. Look around you and notice how many people want things. If I start a poll here in my blog asking who wants to be wealthy, I’m sure I’d get a pretty unanimous response. Unfortunately, not everyone will become millionaires.
There is, [...]
