Today is Blog Action Day– a day when bloggers from all over the blogosphere come together and talk about some of the most pressing issues in the world today. For 2008, the Blog Action theme is Poverty. I grew up in the Philippines- a country down in South East Asia. Some people like to call […]

10 Ways To Make More Money
You want to be rich too, don’t you?
I don’t know about you guys, but I’d sure like to have me some money. It’s not the be-all and end-all of everything. But if you’re not independently wealthy, or cloistered in a monastery somewhere, then by Bob, you know what I’m talking about.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to have more money. I’d like to lead a comfortable lifestyle. I’d like to enjoy the fruits of my labor. I’d like to do the things I want to do. And then have some cash left over.
I am genuinely in agreement with this one particular post I read earlier this morning. A friend of ours shared it on Facebook (shout out to Paul), and you can read it here on Mark Cuban’s Blog Maverick.
Ever since I’ve been doing this whole work-at-home thing, I’ve been approached by family and friends asking me about all kinds of business offers they’ve been getting online and in real life. With a little research, my suspicions were sadly confirmed: most of these get-rich-quick schemes are really scams.
Scams take advantage of people by making them believe they can get an edge ahead of everyone by taking a few shortcuts, and unfortunately, there is a market out there just ripe for the picking of the unscrupulous.
In my short but fairly successful stint in media and marketing, I will tell you this: there is no shortcut to success. Most will probably agree with me. Anyone else who says otherwise is probably out to scam you, or just has a terrible work ethic.
Let’s face it: most of us aren’t independently wealthy. We don’t usually have a trust fund, nor are we in line to receive a substantial inheritance any time soon. Heck, I don’t even have a winning lottery ticket on me most times. If you want to be wealthy, you have to take proactive steps in ensuring your own financial success.
Why Not Work From Home?
Seriously, give me a reason why you shouldn’t be considering this. The idea hit me just earlier this year. I was working for my third radio station in fifteen years. Let’s just say that I had an epiphany of sorts: there was no way I was going to go beyond my current position- the company […]
Preparation + Opportunity = Success

The Rich-Dad-Poor-Dad State of Mind.
Rich Dad, Poor Dad was definitely one of those books that turned my world around. It’s a book that essentially pitches the idea that most working people are really over-dependent on their regular day jobs- so the goal really, is to get yourself to go beyond the regular 9-to-5 job: start a business, invest in […]
