OFW Journals (OFW Stories on the News) and Some OFW Employment, Career & Business Tips

The concept of being a middle man is quite popular already. Kung walang pang negosyo, eh di maki negosyo!
PINOY! Kalian ka babangon at gigising? Pag presidente na si WILLIE REVILLAME? And when? NOW! It doesn’t take
money to make money!

Wouldn’t you be so proud to tell the world that you started your business from scratch, yet you made it
big? Many have asked me, why and how do I get those TV feature… because I started it from P10.00! Kabbayan,
hindi po nakakahiya ang walang pera ! ang importante, may plano kang paginhawahin ang buhay mo! Kung wala,
wala! Wag pilitin! At kung walang pang business, let not capital be a hindrance for you to start one!

How can I sell an item twice its price? Tagalugin natin ah…. Paano ko mabebenta ang isang bagay sa
dobleng presyo nya? Only a stupid person would buy a cell phone that’s worth P10, 000 at P20, 000 right?

How? Simple…. I will have it raffled. I have taught this principle to several people and they never stopped thanking me till now for the idea.

Let me elaborate and explain further. Year 1999 I raffled a scooter and 2 cell phones. The scooter costs
P25, 000 and both nokia (5110 at 3210 pa lang uso mun) was about P20, 000. I made raffle tickets and started
selling them to friends and friend of friends. I even had several agents who earned by selling them. The
tickets were P20.00 each. So computing it… if I had 5,000 tickets sold that would create me P100,000.00.

So simpleng math lang po…. An elementary graduate can compute this. 20.00 (ticket price) X 5,000( number of
tickets) = 100,000 (total cash in if all tickets sold) – 55,000 (prices and miscellaneous) = 45,000.00
profit.

Reminder… I bought the prices when the money was already in. Now, let’s not look at the big profit
immediately. Let’s start with something small. From a grocery bag worth 500, a cell phone worth 3,000… ipod,
dvd… if you can earn something like P500.00 per day as a start, why not?

Point is, wala pong capital! Again, madami nanaman tataas ang kilay nito eh… sugal daw. Eto po ay para sa
mga gusoing may masimulan sa buhay nila na pagkakakitaan and not for those critics na may pang puhunan sa negosyo nila. Wala ka nang ma kain, mag hahanap ka pa ng negosyong de capital…

Capitalize with pinoy mentality! Ano sa palagay nyo ang laban o bawi, pera o bayong, kwarta o kahon,
lotto…. These are all game of chance! Do you know who the best net workers are in the world? Pinoy! How do I
know? HWETENG! How can pinoys reach the most remote village sa apari at hulo? Ang galling po ng Pilipino…

The hardest part? Starting it. That’s another problem that we have . procrastination. But we will tackle
that some other time. I hope this article helps you innovate.

Happy entrepreneuring!
