Entrepreneurs of great character!
“Enterepreneur of great character“ I was awarded that title in October of 2007 together with five of my classmates after finishing 10 Ka-Entrep Sessions sponsored by the Center for Small Entrepreneurs (CSE). The title was awarded because we have done such a simple and natural act – we completed the ten twice-a-month sessions and we were never late in any of those sessions. And I, coming all the way from Angeles City, was almost always the earliest to arrive at the session’s place which was in Manila.

Tailor-fit your resume
You think you got it right. You have the most impressive resume that will catch the attention of any discriminating HR manager.

Don’t shoot down ideas
Ideas abound, sometimes even from the most unlikely source in the corporation. That is why some foreign companies are even holding ideas blitz on a regular basis, if not annually.

Sadly though, this is not always the case on our local organizations. With Filipinos who are known to be sensitive people, any new idea is often treated as a rejection of their current tried and tested system. Believe me, I have personally experienced this.

Business start-ups and cash shortage
The entrepreneurship bug has bitten a lot of people, and many are taking the plunge from being an employee to being an entrepreneur… and many are still planning to do so. What prevents others to take plunge most of the time is the shortage of cash for their capital. If only they could get cash advance credit to at least help them get started, I’m sure they wouldn’t think twice and dive into entrepreneurship as well.
