Need help? Just help others..

I came across a friend the other day who shared with me an interesting story in which I will bring up on today’s post. It is about helping others in order for us to receive help in return.

In today’s fast paced world, we have the tedency to focus and work on something that only benefits us and only us. We spend most of our lives living the process of helping ourselves to acheiving what we plan to accomplish. We consider jobs that only benefit us, we make sales calls that benefits us, we create business plans & strategies to benefit us, we use our links and networks to benefit us…. but have we ever thought about taking an action in order to purely help someone else..

Within the natural state of give and take, we tend to give because we have an interest to take..

Have you ever genuinely helped someone for the sake of helping them with no interest for your own benefits?

My friend spoke about the power of reciprocal return. If we help others, others will help you in different ways you could imagine. If we genuinely help someone full hearted with nothing to expect in return; one day we will almost automatically receive help from others.

So, lets develop our help habits and help those in need.

Turn Your IPOD into a Portable Educational Tool

I would like to share with you how I have turned my IPOD into a one stop entertainment and learning tool in which I can carry and have access to everywhere I go. I have uploaded so many podcasts/and business coaching material that my IPOD is not just an entertainment gadget to watch videos and listen to music, but it has become my audio/video library in which I can listen and watch podcasts/business coaching/business videos everywhere I go. I would listen & watch my educational material during traffic jams, before breakfast, during lunch, brunch, before/after dinner, and before I go to bed at night.

It has become very practical to those especially in constant travel as it also lets me focus by keeping the intensity alive within me to reach my goals. It has turned my days more appealing as having my IPOD around lets me always up-notch my energy level to succeed.

I suggest any of you who own an IPOD and is also in, “Pursuit of Freedom From The 9 to 5 Paradigm”, to transform your gadget into a portable educational tool.

It helps so much when you start to lose your energy level, focus or intensity in carrying out your days in seeking delayed gratification.

Keep learning and practice, practice, practice.

Traditional Indonesian Businesses

I would like to begin this topic based on a new category I have started about traditional indonesian businesses; These are the grassroots of Indonesian Entrepreneurs.

I’d also like to show you how citizens of the 3rd world strive to survive under all conditions within our developing country as they do not have the option of the 9 to 5, as their only way to survive is to pursue their living through the entrepreneur route. I will throughout the time post some interesting topics about how these businessmen/women go about their business and how they’ve created a sustainable business for their future and family.

On today’s topic, I’d like to show you some pictures I grabbed from google search of a several Indonesian traditional businesses called, “Pedagang Kaki Lima” - In meaning; Five Legged Entrepeneur.

As seen in the pictures below, they are considered; Five Legged Entrepreneur; due to them having 2 (two)legs and doing business on a 3 (three) wheel bike.

These businessmen/women stroll down the streets of Indonesia with a unique sound to attract buyers in offering many different businesses. They range from traditional foods to raw materials to even children’s toys. These businessmen/women start their business and return home within any given time during the day and night.

These people are the grassroots of Indonesian Entrepreneurs.
