What are your goals for this year? What are the things you want to achieve in your career? in your finances? in your personal relationships? I surveyed my friends and most of them want to save more money, lose some weight and start a small business. A few did good by writing down their goals [...]

The first week of 2012 has officially begun. Some have already started working on their new year’s resolutions and making changes in their daily routine… while many others, just started working and went back to their usual daily tasks. Whichever type of person you are, it always help to have a plan on how to [...]

I’m a big fan of New Year resolutions because it’s a positive reinforcement that allows us to become a better person. While most people would start thinking and doing their New Year resolutions by January, I’ve learned from experience that committing to change is best done during December. Everyone’s in a good mood and messages [...]

I’m a big fan of To-Do lists. In fact, I even have “Make your To-Do list” on my To-Do list. How funny is that? But seriously, when it comes increasing one’s productivity, having a To-Do list is important. Not only does it makes sure that you don’t forget anything, it also gives you a bird’s [...]

However, while going to other places far and away can be fun – waiting for hours, stuck at the airport, is not. It happens… technical problems, weather conditions, air traffic, and other reasons could [...]

One afternoon, while resting from my workout at the gym, I found myself staring at the wall across the bench I was sitting on. Posted on the wall, is a big sign that read, “Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” I’ve seen that quote so many times and yet [...]

I don’t have a background in Human Resources and going into business, I never thought it was something necessary for me to learn. But I was wrong, for if we truly want to be business owners and not just self-employed individuals, then we must learn how to properly manage and motivate our employees to excel [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
