Back To Bacolod

The reasons for visiting are unclear but after a couple of conversations with Anthony regarding Bacolod, he wants to visit the city. I’m thinking we will leave later today. A brief excursion, maybe two days, and we’ll be back in Cebu.

Interestingly enough, he arrived in the country after myself, yet when it comes to successfully recruiting team members, he’s been more successful. We spoke about it last night again and he credits his girlfriend with the success. He says he informed her of what he’s looking for, as far as talent or personality, and she did the rest.

Months ago the realization occurred about how challenging it was to enter any “barkada” within this culture. Without an introduction it’s nearly impossible. “No man is an island unto himself” is what someone once said and I suppose living in a country of over 7,000 islands, I better do what needs to be done to stay afloat.

Today, Tuesday, January 21, 2020, I am grateful that:

I was able to have a brief yet meaningful conversation with Angel last night. We both shared about where we were with each other, the reason why we weren’t with each other, and we cool with being friends.

Sunshine and I swapped out info. It’ll be interesting to see what, if anything develops from that deal.

Anthony and I got a chance to talk to Jenna. She’s a “go-getter.” I’ve offered her employment before, last night he did as well. We’ll see if anything develops and she’s able to seize the opportunity.

“The gift of desperation” has begun to return. I’m starting another endeavor(returning to a previously seen one) with enormous potential. It’ll afford me the opportunity to generate an income abroad and stay here longer. It’ll also allow me to “positively impact” the lives of many people, most unaware of the current “windfall” of unclaimed funds they have available.

How do you communicate effectively with those you find unagreeable?

How do you advance yourself through “untapped” opportunities?

How do you expose others to better opportunities, for themselves and their families?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
