Where to Invest Now

I am becoming a fan of Mr. Joey Concepcion. He is the Chairman and CEO of RFM Corporation. He is also the Presidential Consultant for Entrepreneurship and the President of the Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship.

Here's some good advise from him:

"There are always better ways to do your business and bring it to its higher level. Trial and error could be one but if you could spend some time to learn the lessons from those who already made same mistakes in your industry, then you don’t have to experience the same fate. One of the keys is research. Identify what works and what doesn’t work. You also need to pay attention to details. Details are very important to succeed. Business planning is an important part also, but the greater challenge is the implementation of it. So it should be two: you plan well and you do the plan well."

"Your choice, passion, determination and vision will elevate your business. Success in any endeavor is always personal. And I can only give you inspiration and some knowledge and information.
"

For me, I have started investing on research time, building the necessary knowledge and experience to continue in the successful journey of my small business during these trying times. It helps to keep abreast on what's new, that is, what's the upcoming trend that may affect business and what's old, those that worked in the past. Mr. Concepcion's sharing and book series do help for they are practical, experience-based and tested.
