Even if hundred of thousands of Pinoys are working abroad as OFW, survey still shows that 90% of Filipinos do not have enough savings even if they cut back on expenses already.

Why? Simply because of lack of  knowledge, specifically in financial management.

Did you  know that richest people in the Philippines and other parts of the world (based on Forbes Magazine’s “Richest” lists) built their wealth through business, investing, or real estate.

Opportunities abound that will make your hard-earned money work for you, create automatic and passive income, offer unlimited income potential, build appreciating and income-generating assets, and help you become your own boss. Money Summit & Wealth Expo will present all these opportunities.

It’s a very informative show that presents topics on entrepreneurship and new business ideas. What so good about the show is that it features successful businessmen and entrepreneurs who mostly started from nothing.  The only downside is – it’s only a weekly one-hour program which is really very short for a full-packed show like this. The show airs from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM. In this 1 hour alone , you will learn a lot from their guests and resource speakers who are mostly experts on their fields.

Most of the time, they  give gifts or prizes to their weekly listeners and phone callers. If you are lucky enough, they also gives financial help  and provide assistance to their deserving listeners specially to those who has a business plan already.

Since the show have won numerous times already, it was awarded the much coveted “Hall of Fame” for winning the  “Best Business News Feature recognition from the Catholic Mass Media Awards.

The show is being anchored not less than Dr. Carl Balita, an educator, entrepreneur, an actor, producer, writer. a professional singer, nurse and a business leader rolled into one! His encouraging voice in the airwaves really inspire the Filipinos to bring out their best when it comes to setting up their own business and be optimistic about it in spite of the economic crisis.

Tune in to DZMM Radyo Negosyo every Saturday nights if you want to be inspired and wants to know the  best business for you. Who knows, you might be featured as their next “successful entrepreneur”.

Nenita believes that attitudes got her where she is right now- a unit sales manager of life insurance firm Nippon Life Philippines. Her resume boasts impressive achievements including,among others, being named Consistent Achiever & Annual Awardee by Nippon life. She was also given that title by her previous employers, including Sun Life Of Canada, Lincoln Life Insurance, Ayala Life, Fil-Estate Realty Corporation, and Berkely International Life Insurance.

Yet life was not always good for this 57-year-old mother of four. She came from impoverished family and she never finished college. But rather give in to her circumstances, she fought back. “I hated poverty, and if you really hate poverty maaalis mo yun.”

While working as a receptionist in 1966, she discovered her knack in selling. While serving coffee to visitors,she successfully convinced them to buy real estate. A year later, she pursued a sales career full time.

One important lesson that Nenita learned early on was that you shouldn’t be ashamed of who you are. “hindi ko na-feel ang hiya. ‘Pag naglalakad ka, wala namang nakadikit sa noo mo na nagsasabing doctor,nurse, or lawyer ka, di ba?So I realized it is only your attitude that will defeat you. I can talk to both president and the janitor and make them feel at ease.”

Before you can save, you have to have the money to save- and this is still a matter of attitude. Some people want to become rich, yet what are they doing? “ They sleep in late then go places bets at the Lotto stand, hoping to be the next millionaire,” she says. In her case, she would wake up early each day to make phone calls to some 40 potential clients.

Of these people, I need to have a face-to-face meeting with four or five everyday. We have a saying that in 10 prospects, one will buy immediately, three will buy next month,three will say, ‘Not this time,’ and three won’t buy but will give referrals.” It can get pretty discouraging, that’s why optimism is crucial says Nenita,”I just keep in mind about buyers; Some will, some won’t, so what? Next?””

But what if you’re a simple homemaker without earning power? Listen: “Kung naka-focus ka sa paghahanap ng pera, makikita mo ito. Kahit nasa bahay ka lang puwede ka pa ring kumita. Kung marunong ka ng pananahi, ng crafts, ng cooking, you can use this skill.” The secret, Nenita reveals, is to find out what the buyer’s needs are. “Anong ginagamit ng tao? Ibenta mo at bibili sila.”

And when you’re already earning you have to protect the fruits of your labor. Nenita says, “Earnings from a sales career in particular is not fixed. Hindi lahat ng panahon sagana ka. There was a time I closed a P100 million insurance policy from one person alone and averaged 50 million per policyholder. But there were also times na tag-hirap. So we put 10 percent in tithing because we believe that God returns what we offer in unexpected ways, and 10 percent in savings.”

Nenita feels so good that she has no intention of retiring soon. “I feel I can go on for many more years, because I enjoy my work and my life.”

A leader is created and the whole process starts inside the most dangerous place you’ll ever encounter – your own mind.

How can you become a strong leader who inspires others, drives people toward excellence, holds people accountable, and instills a sense of trust? Learning what makes a great leader is your first step.

Here are some things you can do to become the leader you’ve always wanted to be:

1. Control yourself. Every great leader in history has had to become a master of self-discipline and willpower in order to stay focused on the big picture. If you don’t have a goal or the drive to achieve it, you can’t lead others to attain theirs.

* Follow through in everything you do. As challenging as it may be, you need to be disciplined enough to be where you need to be, when you need to be there, whether you want to or not. By being strong in your resolve and resisting temptation to give up, you are setting an example for others to live up to.

* Choose your emotional response to a situation carefully. Sometimes you’ll need to practice the art of silencing your inner thoughts when they’re not appropriate in order to set a positive example.

2. Project your goals. If the people you’re leading don’t completely understand the deeper meaning in their work, they won’t share your vision or work ethic. Every step of the way, communicate with your team to make sure they’re on the same wavelength and know what you expect of them.

* Get your team involved in the planning process and the implementation of your ideas. This gives everyone a greater sense of ownership toward the end result.

3. Praise highly and criticize constructively. The way you praise and criticize others can make all the difference in being able to lead effectively.

* Make sure you publicly praise the people who do excellent work for you. You’ll give the person a sense of accomplishment and the drive to do even better.

* When someone does something wrong, offer constructive criticism and do it privately. Suggest solutions on how they can improve and take the time to answer any questions. They’ll accept your input more willingly if they know it’s done to help and not to harm.

4. Know your people. You can’t truly lead a group of people unless you truly understand their hopes, dreams, struggles, pains, and goals. All the good intentions in the world mean nothing unless you have a true sense of the people you’re working with.

* Talk to your team and get to know them. Getting to know each other on a personal level will strengthen the bond between you. They’ll want to do better for you because you’re more than just a “boss.”
* Be their leader, first, and their friend second. You’re their leader and that means that you have to make difficult decisions from time to time. These decisions cannot be affected by personal relationships.

5. Make the hard call. There are times when you have to bite the bullet and make some unpleasant decisions. Firing, demoting, and holding people accountable for their actions can be very hard at times. As a leader, it’s your responsibility to handle these matters.

Regardless of where your leadership role takes you, believe that you can be a strong leader. Remember that in order to lead others, you must be disciplined yourself. After all, your actions will speak louder than anything you can say.

In order to gain the respect of others, strive to lead by example in every area of your life.

When you follow these simple guidelines, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a true leader!
