Business failure… reasons
Filed under: Entrepreneurship, entrepreneur, management, roysville, self-help
Here I am writing what I believe were some of the reasons why I failed in my businesses before. I am writing them here for two reasons. Primarily, for me to serve as a reminder so that I may not repeat the same mistakes, and second, for those who may read this may learn too from my experiences, and thus save them costly errors in their own business.
Reasons for failing in business :
A medley of knowledge
I would like to think of myself as a talented person. I know how to do a lot of things.
But apparently, “Jack of all trades – master of none” didn’t work for me. In fact, it could probably be one of the main reasons I failed. I know a lot of things, yet I wasn’t able to develop anything into a full grown opportunity.

How do you put out a fire?
How do you put out a fire? By dousing it with water! That’s right; to kill a fire you simply douse it with water.
Now, how do you kill enthusiasm? Simple, by dousing it with water!
Now why and how, you may ask, pour water on enthusiasm? I’m not really referring to physical water here, of course you know that.
I used the analogy because enthusiasm is like a fire burning within an individual. People doused it with water by simply saying NO! STOP! THAT CAN’T BE DONE!
This is one of the most common management mistakes. Sometimes, an individual comes along with a new or an improved idea. Enthusiastically, he shares to the bosses, very confident that this idea would improve performance, cut costs, lead to better sales or really create big changes within the organization.

How do you keep happy employees?
Filed under: All in a day's work, Articles, Career, Entrepreneurship, management
Would you believe that an effective way to keep your people happy is by firing away the unhappy ones?
Sounds like a joke? Jay Goltz really hoped it was.
Goltz, who owns five small businesses in Chicago, shared his secret in keeping happy employees in the company in the report from Yahoo! Finance.
Admitting that he doesn’t have a Ph. D., an M.B.A. or any economics degree, Goltz said that he had learned through times that you cannot make everyone happy.

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. So they can encourage their employees to voice out their two-cent worth of ideas. And surprisingly, from this blitz of ideas out comes a jewel that can help the organization increased their earnings from great innovations, or even help them save from their expenses.
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.
Checking account management
Filed under: Money, entrepreneur, finance, management, roysville
In my early years in the bank, one of my first assignments was as a CA/SA bookkeeper. One of my duties then was to monitor the balances of checking and savings accounts of our clients. Although I was more particular on the checking accounts, and I have closed quite a number of accounts then because some people don’t how to manage checking accounts.
We all know that a checking account is an important tool to an entrepreneur. Aside from it being a convenient way of paying obligations, it also allows for easier recording and monitoring of expenses. However, as great as a financial tool it is, the checking account can cause the entrepreneur’s downfall when improperly handled.

Are you in business or just self-employed?
Filed under: Entrepreneurship, entrepreneur, management, roysville, self-help
What could be the difference between the two?
A lot!
I myself could not believe it until it was proven by our facilitator during our Ka-Entrep sessions in 2007 at CSE. Our seminar facilitator asked us one by one, and all the while we thought we were in business, but as it turned out most were just self-employed, we really don’t have a business but just a job at home.
“So what is your business?” The facilitator asked, “I do homemade salad dressings, the feedback I’m getting are good. In fact, I get lots of orders. I can say business is really good” replied the participant.
“You make the salad dressings yourself?” the facilitator continued. “Yes, ma’m!” was the the quick reply “it’s my own formula, my secret recipe.”
“So I take it that you won’t entrust your secret formula to anybody else, so only you must work to do your salad dressings, right?”

Stop reading and start doing!
Filed under: Career, Entrepreneurship, management, roysville, self-help
When is reading books not good? When it’s all that you do… there’s nothing wrong in reading self-help, self-improvements, management and business books. But they are all useless if the learnings that these books are teaching are not applied.
Next to attending seminars and actual classes, reading books is a great way to gain knowledge in anything, whether it be in business, arts, personal development and so on. Books on business and entrepreneurship, as well as management and leadership, are not lacking in titles. From Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump, Zig Ziglar, John Maxwell to our very own Francisco Colayco, Francis Kong, Larry Gamboa and even Bo Sanchez! These guys have written books that would help anybody – from the business novice to the seasoned entrepreneur.
