GETTING RICH MINDSET - Part 4
In our last discussion, pinag-usapan natin ang mga ways of thinking ng mga Pinoy at mga Chinese, kung paano mag isip ang UTAK EMPLEYADO at UTAK NEGOSYANTE. We also discussed the true meaning of SECURITY, and lastly, the REALITIES of what may happen to you after your retirement, and why some people who came from employment and ventured into business fail.
For today’s lesson, we will dig even more on what I believe is one of the many REASONS why most people fail in business.
Are you READY for another Life-Changing Lesson? Then read on…
Actually andaming dahilan why most people who ventured into the world of business fail, pero isa ito sa mga dahilan ng kanilang mga FAILURES…
MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT BUILDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS IS EASY, AND IT IS A GET-RICH QUICK SCHEME!
A huge misconception. Building a business is not a walk in the park. It will take a lot of perseverance, patience, sweat, and of course, time. Ang problema lang ng ilan sa atin, may attitude tayo na pagiging MAINIPIN. When things are not working out the way we want it to be, we tend to give up, and we say, “Di talaga para sakin mag-business. Wala akong kaswerte-swerte.” End-Result: Business Closed.
But here’s the TRUTH, nobody fails on business, they just QUIT. Kasi akala ng iba, pag may business ka, “BUKAS, MAYAMAN NA!” Eh wala namang ganun. Kahit yung SM ni Henry Sy, hindi naman lumaki yun OVERNIGHT! Matagal na panahon din bago napalago ni Henry Sy ang mga negosyo niya, and I’m sure dumaan din siya sa napakaraming setbacks at failures. Pero iba ang attitude ni Henry Sy, a WINNER’s attitude, which is PERSEVERANCE

Bakit ka maiinip? Naalala mo ba kung ilang taon kang nagtrabaho? Maybe 10, 20, 30 or 40 years, di ka nainip, ni hindi mo nga naisip mag-QUIT! 40 years of persevering and sweating para sa magkano? 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 per month? Tapos ngayong nasa NEGOSYO kana, in which di hamak na malaki ang pwedng kitain, 1 or 2 years ka palang, nahirapan ka, tapos mag-QQUIT ka? Naalala mo ba kung ilang taon ka ng tumataya sa lotto? Diba kahit alam mong chamba lang ang pagtama mo sa lotto, taya ka pa rin ng taya! Di ka nainip, di ka nag-QUIT. Unless you change your attitude towards business, you will not get successful in this field.
But here’s what I have to say, “YES, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GET RICH QUICK SCHEME, BUT THIS IS A GET RICH SURE SCHEME… AS LONG AS YOU DON’T QUIT!” I admit that along the way, you will encounter discouragements, setbacks, and failures. But you have to think of those things as “stepping stones” towards success. Hindi pa ito ang katapusan mo. Success leaves clues. You can find it on your failures. Failures leaves us with lessons, na magagamit natin in planning and decision making. The more failures you have, the more your chances to succeed. Ika nga nila eh, “If you want to become successful, double your failure rate.”
When you put up a business, you have to treat your business with the mentality that it will last for 20 or more years. Parang ganito, isipin mo na ang itinatanim mo ay hindi buto ng MUNGGO, ang MUNGGO, mabilis ngang tumubo, pero madali namang mawala, tapos magtatanim ka na naman ng panibago. Etong isipin mo, ang itinatanim mo ay buto ng MANGGA. Yes, sa umpisa, aalagaan mo, babakuran mo, lalagyan mo ng fertilizer, araw-araw mong didiligan, etc. It will take time bago yun lumaki at mamunga… Pero diba once na malaki na ang punong MANGGA mo, hindi mo na kailangang bantayan, wala ka ng gagawin kundi mag-harvest sa puno mo. Eto pa malupet, hanggang kaapu-apuhan mo ay makikinabang sa punong pinagtiyagaan mong alagaan.
Remember the Cash Flow Quadrant? It says that if you want to become financially free, your goal is to move yourself from the left side (Employee, Self-Employed) papunta sa right side of the quadrant (Business, Investments). But again, marami na ang nagbusiness, nasa right track na sila towards financial freedom, but sad to say bumabalik pa sila sa left side, because of their wrong mind-setting and approaches on failures.
Few words before I end this… No matter what you do, JUST DON’T QUIT! Success comes to those who wait patiently. Your success will come soon. DON’T STOP WHEN YOU’RE TIRED… STOP WHEN YOU’RE DONE…
