In the late 80′s Donald Trump was at the peak of success in real estate business. But suddenly, his success was distracted when he diverted his attention to clothing and fashion business in Europe. The US economy went bad, affecting the real estate business of Trump, and it was too late for him to realize that he was losing $9.2 billions in this business. All the banks from whom he owed billions of dollars were all running after him, and he could not even pay the interests for his loans. He worked hard to recover back his loses, that by the late 90′s he’s back and thriving again. In his book, “How to Get Rich,” he tells the readers about this incident in his life. So, he advised the readers, “Don’t make the mistake I made. Stay focused.”

Full attention to one direction is very important even in driving a car. Losing your focus on the direction where you are running will surely place in you and others in danger, even to death. Students in colleges, who found freedom from being away from their parents, lose their focus on their studies when they start joining their bad friends in drugs and other funs. Some overseas Filipinos lose their focus towards the family and loved ones they left in the Philippines, due to bad influence by other co-workers in their places of works.

Robert Kiyosaki, author of the book “Rich Dad Poor Dad” have 10 tips in order to get out of the “rat race” or working for others on a nine-to-five job. The number 9 advise in his book was about FOCUS as an acronym for Follow One Course Until Successful. The “course” he was referring to in his book was about attention or direction. As an extra bonus for reading this article, let me give you the full list of these ten secrets to get out of the rat race.

1. Know the difference between an asset and a liability.
2. Make mistakes, learn from them.
3. Never say, “I can’t afford it.” Instead ask, “How can I afford it.”
4. Surround yourself with like-minded people.
5. Teach others.
6. Play the CASHFLOW board game to learn how the cash flows.
7. Mind your own business, your ASSET column.
8. Learn the vocabulary of investing and finance.
9. FOCUS – follow one course until successful.
10. Never stop learning.

Top 7 Reasons Why You Need a Personal Website

January 28, 2010 in Career Advancement, Entrepreneurship, Jobs, Overseas Filipino worker, Overseas Filipino Workers, Travel Vacation | 1 comment

 

This article is a reprint from http://onewebplaza.com . The reason why I’m posting this here, because I wanted to emphasize to my fellow OFW’s how important is owning a web site now and in the future. If millions of other computer users and Internet hobbyists from around the world are earning now, while they are at their own homes, then why not other Filipinos? Why would Filipinos sell their properties to pay unscrupulous job recruiters, to work abroad for their families, when they could stay with their families and earn money by using the powers of the world wide web? Below, follows the reprint:

Top 7 Reasons Why You Need a Personal Website

Having a website of your own equals entering into an invaluable communication environment. There are at least 7 reasons why it is highly advisable for you to be present online:

1. Represents your personal profile
A website can be your virtual portrait, showing off your personal self to the world on a 24/7 basis. Among the most popular ways of presenting your personality online is keeping a webblog (otherwise known as online diary) or a photo gallery, where your friends can stay up-to-date with your daily living.

2. Spreads your voice across the world
A website can be your global “tribune” where you are able to share your knowledge, experience and enthusiasm with people who have common interests, but with whom you might not otherwise have crossed paths. A very popular idea-voicing tool is the discussion board, better known as “forum”. You can also have a guestbook on your site, where people can discuss your postings.

3. Lets you be in touch with people at a distance
A website can be a meeting place for making new acquaintances with people of different religion, nationality and age, as well as for keeping in touch with friends who may be on the other side of the world. Thanks to the almost unlimited online communication possibilities you can conduct one-to-one conversations with many different people directly from your website.

4. Broadens disabled people’s interaction with the world
A website empowers people with limited access, due to handicap or illness, to broaden their communication with others. A website can be a physically disabled person’s door to the dynamic world, allowing him/her to bridge over the difficulties of having a “different” everyday life. It can even be their office, where they can present and deliver certain home-made products/services directly from their living room.

5. Creates a web skill development environment
A website can introduce you to the secrets of www. The contemporary web design technologies have brought the art of creating a website just a few clicks away from the inexperienced user. Thanks to the popular WYSWYG (what you see is what you get) web design tools, absolutely everyone (irrespective of age or education degree) can build their own web page without any previous experience.

6. Makes extra profit for you with minimum investment on your part
A website can make residual profit for you, while you are sleeping or enjoying your free time. Thanks to the up-to-date techniques for bringing traffic to your website, you can earn easy money by simply having visitors click on certain product/service promos or links that are relevant to your site content pages (e.g. Google Adsense/Adwords ad solutions) without any initial investment.

7. Makes you a member of the biggest community of the world
A website is a must-have personal attribute nowadays, just like mobile phones and computers are. The fast developing technologies have converted having a website from a whim into a modern necessity. As of today, almost everyone has a web site, whereas twice as many people are expected to be having their own personal space in the global World Wide Web cosmos in the near future. Be forward-thinking, join this trend.
