How to Overcome Obstacles in Your Business

Dec 142017
 

My previous article was about growing your business through franchising. Some of you may have finally considered taking that leap. Good for you! However, others may still be hesitating in taking that step. So what could be stopping them? Entrepreneurs come up with a lot of ideas on growing their business. But sometimes they put the brakes on these ideas because they have doubts that they can pull it off. They may feel that there aren’t enough good people to hire, or worry that expanding the business may mean spending less time with the family. The list goes on. But they should recognize these thoughts for what they are: Excuses! Being afraid is natural. Fear is part of the process. Learn to get past it and move on. Entrepreneurs may also come across unexpected obstacles. For example, you may have spent weeks trying to get the client’s approval, but at the last minute, he cancels and says that another company gave him a better offer. Or your most trusted employee suddenly quits and puts up his own firm that offers the same products or services you sell. OVERCOMING OBSTACLES Before you give up your dreams of expansion, or your business itself, think back on why you started the business in the first place. Look at how much time and money you have spent to get this far. Think back on this and you will realize that it’s not worth giving up just because things don’t seem to be going as Read More …

Image Via Video 48 Blog Today’s video landscape has changed dramatically from the bygone days of video rental, with video-on-demand being the rule, rather than exception for consuming media.

Simon Santos, the owner of Video 48 located in Quezon City, is a man known by film students and cinema luminaries alike. His shop is the frequent haunt of film students and National Artists, luminaries like Lino Brocka and Nick Joaquin as well as Luciano ‘Chaning’ Carlos, Celso Ad.

Simon first established Video 48 as an outlet for his burgeoning film collection in 1988. Since then, he’s been steadily adding to his collection, adding collectibles like posters and other memorabilia to the mix to spruce up the store’s ambiance. His collection of memorabilia is sizable, and consists of pre-war, post-war, ’50s and ’60s movie fan magazines, 50s and 60s Komiks as well as lobby cards, movie flyers and other collectibles. All of this he shares on his Video 48 blog which he started back in 2007, as a repository and virtual library of Philippine Cinema which has been the major destination for researchers Read More …

Asian Development Bank raises Philippine growth forecast in 2017/18

The Asian Development Bank has upgraded the Philippines growth outlook this year from 6.5% to 6.7% and from 6.7% to 6.8% in 2018. The Manila-based ADB said strong household consumption, manageable inflation and infrastructure investment are the factors for the improving growth data. “The government is on track to achieve its target of spending 5.3 percent of GDP on public infrastructure this year. Household consumption remained strong despite moderating slightly from last year,” the ADB said. The multilateral bank agency said the recovery of exports in the first nine months of the year as well as the strong contribution of services and manufacturing to the economy also factored into the higher growth forecast. “This outlook assumes that growth in the government’s infrastructure program will accelerate, supported by improvements in budget execution, with more large investment projects underway,” the ADB stressed. Growth projections in Southeast Asia—the country’s immediate neighborhood—was likewise raised to 5.2 percent this year from five percent in September and 5.2 percent in 2018 from the previous projection of 5.1 percent. ADB said the subregion is benefitting from stronger investments and exports with growth emanating from Brunei, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. “Infrastructure investment continued to play an important role in Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand. Robust domestic demand—particularly private consumption and investment—will continue to support growth in the subregion,” said the report. ADB likewise hiked its growth projections for developing asia this year to six percent from 5.9 percent in September but retained its growth forecast of 5.9 Read More …

5 Things You Should Buy In Divisoria (And 5 Things You Shouldn’t)

Image via the Inquirer There’s nothing like hitting the streets in Divisoria to bag last-minute Christmas deals. There’s plenty of deals to be had in the shopping Mecca of Manila, especially if you’re looking to stretch your budget to grab the best deals. Despite Divisoria’s crowded streets especially at this time of the year, Pinoys still flock to the shopping location during the holidays. There’s plenty of things to buy at Divisoria, though there are also things you should avoid buying like the plague. Things you should buy: 1) Clothes While there’s always a tiangge in every corner of the metro, you really can’t beat the low, wholesale prices in Divisoria. Many of the shops in Manila get their wares from the suppliers in the shopping haven, and there’s plenty of merchants willing to cut you a deal especially when you buy in bulk. 2) Textiles Like clothes, textiles in Divisoria are dirt cheap. Plenty of shops situated close together mean healthy competition, and there’s always shops looking to undercut their competition with better pricing, especially for bulk buyers. Don’t be afraid to haggle, and don’t be scared to look around and ask to see who has the best pricing. 3) Toys There’s plenty of toys to be bought in Divisoria, with varying price tags. Don’t grab anything for babies or for kids who are teething though, for reasons that we’ll explain later. For kids aged 5-10, Divisoria holds a treasure trove of affordable toys you can buy for your kids Read More …
