Discovering Eskapology.Com - The Quest to be an Entrepreneur

While doing blog-hopping, I arrived to the website of Sir Jon Orana, the Chief Escape Officer (CEO) and founder of Eskapology.com.  From the word itself, "eskapo": a Tagalog word for "escape", is a website that introduces the ways to be financially free from the 9am to 5pm employee job to the road towards business and entrepreneurship.

How to Manage Our Asset Allocation

Personal finance books and websites discuss about risk appetites in engaging into investments suitable for our own personal short-term and long-term needs.  It has been a wonder to me what the “proper” asset allocation would be for all assets available in the market: equities, bonds, cash, and alternative assets (such as real estates, and businesses).  I believe that part of managing our personal finances is creating a system to where we would like to put our assets on that would give us passive and earned income in the coming years.

I make businesses. I am a miracle-worker.

“I am a business-creator.
I am a miracle-worker.
I am blessed to be a blessing to others.”

 

I went home today with a smile of gratitude and a peaceful feeling after making into reality the lifelong dream of a very cool and loving 61-year old Filipina nurse – (I just revealed her age, but don’t be deceived – she’s as strong, as talented, as active as a 45-year old woman) – and she looks more than a decade younger than her true age. As she always tells me, “Age is just a number.” =)

I Realised: I Am Not a Saver

Last night, I was looking at Rich Dad Poor Dad cashflow quadrant and I wonder where I am at this current stage in my life (char!).  I think I am all over the quadrants (hahaha!), except for the S quadrant (I've never been self-employed), with the chunk of my cashflow coming from being in the E quadrant.

Towards Being an Entrepreneur

Recently, I have been joyfully re-discovering the history of the passion I got towards being an entrepreneur.  To whoever I get to talk to, I speak about business and investments.  (Sometimes, I wonder if I bore my friend who only wants to speak about her new crush at the office whenever I shift the topic towards getting into business). =p 

Anyway, here is the list I come up with regarding how my “being a business-minded person” history started:

• At age of 8, I was asked by my mother to tend to our super-mini kiosk outside our canteen because there was a big praise and worship weekend encounter nearby.  I would sell the candies, the junk foods, softdrinks, ice water, etc.. to every passers-by (no cigarettes, of course).

I Will Graduate from Being an Employee Soon

W-o-r-k...

Right now, this is my bread and butter.

This puts food on my table, pays for my rent, provides for my “luho”, and puts money on my savings and investments.  \(",)/

Soon, I will get out from this employee stage and move to being a full-time businesswoman and investor.

Yet for now, I have to deal with all these deadlines. :P




Keep learning and keep moving forward!
