How Do You Quit Your Job?


You'd be surprised how many people need to know how to quit their jobs. So, how do you quit your job? Yeah, they know how to resign from their jobs, but quit it? You need to quit your job for good if you want to launch out full-swing into business. Burn your bridges so you won't have any means to go back the way you came from.

Start Part-Time

Don't quit your job pronto. Keep at it while you start your business part-time. Do it before or after office or during your free time. If you need to set appointments do it during your coffee breaks. Then meet with them during your longer breaks or after office hours. At least, you have your monthly pay supporting you as you prepare being full-time in business.

If you need to do long hours of business, set it ahead of time and look for an opportunity when your work isn't hectic and you won't be needed much in the office. Then schedule that day and file for leave. Make full use of that day. Or, bless you if you have no work on Saturdays. This is a good time to do everything needed for your fledgling business. 

As your business grows, prepare for resigning. Do it gracefully. Make sure you leave no work pending. And give the office enough time to pick your replacement and orient him or her. Then quit your job. Make sure the deals in your new business come in regularly and able to support you before you resign. How do you quit your job? Make wise preparations, that's how. 

And once you quit, give your new business your best shot. Don't think that you can always go back to your job once things get bad. Dismiss that option. If you keep thinking that way, you won't be able to give your business your best shot. Options like that are wrongly timed. Give yourself zero options first. But also make sure that you're not so stressed up by it. What's a business for if it'd just ruin your life?

And before all the above, do your homework first. Research. See how viable the business is and how you'd figure lucratively in it. How profitable is it and how responsive is the market? Can a real need possibly be created? Try selling some of the product and see how the sales come in. Or try doing small business presentations now and then.


How do you quit your job? Give it a thorough feasibility study because, remember, it will affect a lot of things and lives around you. And if after your best efforts everything still fails, don't blame yourself or anyone. Failure is part of success and maturity. And always make God your business companion. Not that God will make everything work, but he can turn even hopeless things work in your favor in some way.

If you think you need to go back to your job after failing, then do it. Then start allover again and try again.

Your Job is an Illusion


Your job is an illusion. It is make-believe. It makes you believe that you're secure--like what they say about a job "security." You can look forward to your salary every 15th and end of the month. The thought that money is coming every two weeks is what we're made to believe as "security." We cling to that idea so strongly that we fear letting go. Our whole lives and the lives of our loved ones depend on it.


It's easier to just get a job than risk doing a business you're not sure about. With a job, someone pays you--and he is obligated by law to pay you and provide some benefits. With a business, no one is obligated by law to look after you. You're on your own. And most of us are uncomfy about that. We want to blame somebody or run to somebody for security. Once we get a job, we feel everything is taken care of. Your job is an illusion.

In return for such "security" we trade off our entire lives. We willingly allow ourselves to be enslaved. Our jobs define our daily lives--what time we get up and sleep, what days we spend with our families, who we spend our days with most of the time, how much we can spend a month--in fact in our lifetime, what we prioritize, how we define life, how we spend our summer time, etc. Everything is dictated by our job description. In fact, what college course our children can take, and even the kind of life they will have, and their children and grandchildren--except if someone among them decides to put a stop to all that and break the curse.

Yeah, we're willing to give up everything for our jobs just to receive a meager monthly pay. We think life is worth just a monthly salary. We allow our jobs to control our whole lives, and the lives of our loved ones, like some god we offer all our valuables just to give us some bread on our dinner table, and we even offer our families as sacrifice. We may deny this, but you can always look at things this way--if you're open-minded.

Employment Trap

I've seen people sell everything they have and leave their families behind to work abroad. They endure being away from their families for months, even years, losing the wonderful opportunity to be with their growing up kids and guiding them. Some of them end up having an illicit romantic affair there while away from their spouses, or else have their spouses back home commit the same. Meanwhile, their children suffer everything.

Growing up kids need the presence of their parents more than they need money. Those years will never happen again and once you lose those vital years being with them, you risk losing your kids as well. You may be able to send them to a good school, but your role as a parent to them is of utmost importance--more important than the best schools possible. Your absence at such times makes your kids lose something essential from their person. The illusory promise of employment abroad makes everything seem okay as long as money is made. TV commercials about children looking happy and growing up right while their parents are abroad are just propaganda. They seldom happen.

Worse, some of those leaving home to work abroad are illegally recruited and end up deported, the money they loaned to work abroad forfeited. They go home totally bankrupt.

For those who employ locally, the hectic hours in the office divert their attention from their real needs. All along, through years of employment they don't realize that they're just being used. The illusion of "self-fulfillment" is further enhanced by salary, salary increase, promotion, and benefits. But they're youth and energy--which should've been applied for their own sole benefit--has been given to someone else for long years. They start living their own lives at age 60 or 65 when what they have left of themselves are leftovers. You see, your job is an illusion.

Well, there are those who are fitted for employment. They do not have any imagination about how they can own their lives without having to work for someone else. But the majority of us, we were made for something more challenging. If you've realized how your job is an illusion, start redeeming your time--with God's help.

Be Your Own Boss—Work for Yourself

You know, it’s really quite unfair if you’ve been working for a boss for years now. Tsk, tsk, tsk. You work more than you’re paid for and it’s even worse if you work extra for free. You’re made to do overtime work and you spend for it with your own money. That’s triple unfair. And do you want to continue with that for the rest of your life when you can be your own boss?

You work from 8 to 5 and you do the same things every day. How can you develop as a person with that boredom and monotony? Oh yeah, you attend office seminars and conferences, but really, how do they make you better? What counts there is your attendance—so you’d get your per diem or measure up to the allowance given you—but other than that, nothing, zero. It’s more a waste of time than career equipment.

Find Your Better Lot in Life

I say you work for yourself instead. Be your own boss and find your better lot in life. And the only road to it is doing your own small business. Small at first. It will be risky especially at the outset, but once the profit picks up, you’re on your way to freedom and self realization. Find a small business you can do. What do you like doing? What do you really want to do in life? Find out if there could be a market created for that.

There was this guy who loved bananas. He was tired of his job and was contemplating on doing a business. He thought of selling bananas. Sure, there were lots of businesses selling bananas already, but no one delivered bananas directly to offices during lunch time. So he started with that. He delivered fresh, plump bananas to employees in offices during lunch time. He created a new market for bananas.

It looked weird for a while, but the thing worked over time. He established himself as a banana seller during lunch. He also casually talked about the health benefits of bananas now and then so that people all the more bought his product, realizing their need for the micro nutrients present in bananas. After all, bananas were affordable.


Soon, he was delivering to every company in the block. He brought crates to supply employees in companies located on every floor of the buildings there. Gradually, he included other fruits. His love for bananas, with a little imagination and daring, led him to the road to freedom and realization of his true potential.

So, give it a moment of thought: How would you like to be your own boss? If you like the idea, start to think of ideas how you can work for yourself.

How to Make People Buy

Among the greatest challenges in a sales career is how to make people buy. This is second to how to make people attend business orientation meetings or BOMs. If you’ve decided to go jobless big-time (or are yet deciding to), you have to learn to sell and make people buy. The problem is how. Well, there are easy but a bit radical steps.

Bring the Product

When you have made an appointment to see someone about your product, make sure to bring the product already with you. As you make your sales pitch, hold the product and make constant reference to it. At the end of your casual presentation (make it casual) give the bottle to your prospect and say something obligatory like, “Okay, you can take this product and try it.” The guy might say, “What’s this? Is this for free?” Frankly say, “I need to sell it to you now.”

If he or she should resist the product, that’s when you say, “You don’t need to pay for it now. I can always come back for the payment. Is next Tuesday okay?” Be specific when you’d be back, and be back. Especially do this if you’re confident about your product. Once you get the person to take the product and try it, there’s a big chance for a repeat order when you come back.

You say you don’t have the guts to do this? Well, if you want a business career in sales and go jobless big-time all the way, you have no choice. Welcome yourself to your new business career. You’ve got to do this. Just do it, and do it now.

Target the Kid

This especially works when you have a super delicious health product like, say, purple corn juice. Kids just love it. Now, adults may still turn down even a good product, but not when their kids or grandkids badly want it and pester them to have it. So target the kids. Open a smaller version of the product and give the kid a taste test. If it’s a toy or special gadget you’re selling, open a sample and let the kid try it. Better if the kid breaks or smashes it. That leaves your adult customer with no choice but to buy.

Target the Mrs.

I often try the wife when the husband looks adamantly downbeat. Once, when we were leafleting at a national park, I saw a couple walking by and asked the guy to try a free taste test if they’d fill up a short form. The guy said no and walked past me. But the lady with him was looking at my flier and seemed interested. So I went after her. She took the flier and walked straight to the booth for the form and taste test. The guy reluctantly followed.

You can do this especially if you think your product has an appeal to women. And we’re not limited to jewelries here. It can apply to classy china, life plans, unique stylish drinks, lingerie, kitchen wares, or small appliances. That’s how to make people buy.

You Need This

Always sell to people giving the strong impression that “I’m not selling you this; you need this.” Better if you add this impression that you don’t need to make this sale. You’re just making this sales pitch because he or she needs this product badly. Look for a need, casually talk to the prospect and interview him or her to get some leads. When you see one, attack that weakness. If you’re looking for water and see some traces of water welling up on the ground, hit that area and dig deep. No let up.


If you're selling negative ion sanitary pads, do it with genuine compassion. Tell your female prospects how the badly need the products and what the real facts are on cervix statistics. Do some research to make them see how synthetic pads harm women. Make them see their need. Educate them. That way, you have an advocacy, not a product to sell.


Well, there will be lots of times when you wouldn’t make any sale no matter what strategy you use. Don’t worry, don’t push yourself too much. There’ll always be another time. We all get unlucky for a while. But never quit. As you do this often, you'll master aggressive but non-desperate salesmanship. You'd know how to make people buy in easier ways.

How to Make People Attend BOMs

Most people have this problem--how to make people attend BOMs.

BOM is Business Opportunity Meeting. It's used for network marketing. If you're jobless but wanna make it big being so, then try network marketing.

Okay, I'll tell you what's network marketing first. It is the easiest way to start small and make it big in business. In fact, I say it's the only way. It's more realistic than aiming to make it big someday by being promoted in your company--which most likely will never happen. Frankly, this is the only thing I could think of that would help you reach your true financial potential. Invest what you can and then give it your best shot!

If you're already rich, chances are network marketing won't have any appeal to you. And you may even call it cheap or despise it as some pyramiding scam, or curse it as some way to cheat people of their money. Because most rich people hate seeing poor people become richer than they are and through ways not popular to the traditionally rich. And if you're NOT rich and yet you despise network marketing, pessimistic people have probably con you. Would you let them do that to you? Why let them take you down with them? But if you insist...

Then, this isn't for you. Read another blog--one that would pin you down to being a mediocre earner forever. But if you're jobless somewhere and desperate to make some money or big money, why not try network marketing? It's our only chance--we who weren't rich when we started in life. And if you're not a college graduate or didn't finish grade school--but you wanna earn big--network marketing is it. Don't look for a job. That will destroy your future and potentials.

So, network marketing is all about getting people to join you do your business. Getting them to start living a life of business, a unique one. And many people are not used to being business people--they've been brain-washed that all they're gonna be in life are employees--destined to slavery making others rich. All they're worth is a miserable salary a month. So, it will be a real challenge getting them to believe something "far-fetched." Moreover, many folks have been brain-washed to believe that all network marketing businesses are pyramiding scams.

Well, first things first. Make them attend. Tell them there are no strings attached. If they don't want the business, you'd let them go Scot free. Promise. Tell them plainly that you're inviting them to a BOM. Be honest. If they refuse to go, ask them to go just this once--ask them to just give you time this once so that after this you'd stop bothering them. And make sure you keep your word. If they still insist on not going, then pester them now and then, until they finally come. Now, if the prospect does finally come, hope and pray the presentor would do his best to present the product and business well. It's a shame to see your inviting efforts go to waste just because of a lousy presentation.


So know when the best presentor would speak.

This is how to make people attend BOMs:

1. Tell them how wonderful and effective the product is. So make sure you're already a product user. People selling a product they're not using are liars. Don't be a liar. People want to go with trustworthy people. So be trustworthy. Develop that reputation. Never tell a lie.

2. Challenge them to meet networkers who are already earning big in the business.

3. Challenge them to see how the business actually works.

4. Give them free product taste at the BOM. This is a real business. Invest some.

5. Fetch them from their homes or offices. Most people wouldn't like that so they'd rather attend the BOM. That's one effective way how to make people attend BOMs.

6. Treat them to coffee or snack after.

7. Invite someone your prospect knows and tell the prospect that so and so is also coming. Better if it would be some kind of a reunion or something. But just take 2 or 3 people along. Five or more is a no-no.

8. Don't forget to say, "Just this once, and I promise no more BOM in the future."

9. Make a fun BOM yourself. Have it in your house as part of a birthday celebration or something like that. Or create an occasion to celebrate.

10. Organize regular fun gatherings where you casually talk about the business. Like a tea party or something. That's how to make people attend BOMs.

The "Loser" Who Won

He's the loser who won, and won big-time. And the winning began when he lost his job. Perhaps you'd say he was a born loser. He never finished grade one and came from a very poor family. He came to Manila to work, thinking that was the answer to his sorry plight, but it just seemed to have made things worse. Then he lost his job--and that started his breakthrough which launched him to millions! 

Literally millions. Which he would never have made if he had stuck with employment,which he had planned on doing in the first place but was prevented by some twist of fate. He felt it was the end of the world, not realizing it was just the beginning of his break--he was about to be jobless big-time. But of course, he didn't know it at the time--like you do not know if you're going to make it big someday if you risked doing an alternative livelihood now, or fail with a resounding crash.


Sometimes, we need a bit of a push of fate, or have it literally drag us to success because of our timidity and stubborn insistence to cling to our jobs and our comfort zones which we think is a refuge and a fountain of life.  Fate sometimes even has to cruelly force us or shake us violently just to loosen our desperate clutch to employment and the usual run of things and put us in our rightful place.

So it demolishes our "hopes" and leaves us with nothing so we can start anew. Nope, we cannot build from the remnants of the erroneous past. We must walk on its ashes and find a new site to build on. Like what God told the Israelites--leave Egypt, go through the wilderness, and build in the Promised Land. And if you choose to build in the new territory of being jobless big-time, you must go through the wilderness first.

Then you'd be the loser who won.

I Don't Know How to Sell

"I don't know how to sell!" I can almost hear you say that.

Well, nobody does at the start. We all have to learn how to sell. So, if you think you don't know how to sell, that's a good place to start. We all start there--admitting that "I don't know how to sell." But it is a must to have the desire to. If you are jobless or wanna quit your job and be your own boss (and are really serious about this), you've got to learn how to sell--unless you are about to inherit a million dollars and don't have to earn a living and live happily ever after like that. But if not, believe me--you have got to sell something to survive.

For most of us (who are not inheritors), we have to do something to survive. Sell something. How? Well, just do it. I can share here a thousand and one sales tips but frankly, it all boils down to you selling something. Just start selling, and the rest would just fall into place. You'd learn along the way. I may tell you good sales tips but if you don't go out there and sell, you'd just be an informed bum. But if you start selling and keep selling, you'd learn the tips by experience first hand, by yourself, and that will make you a master salesman. Nothing like learning something yourself.

What I can suggest is that you have to hone good character in you. You cannot be in sales and be snobbish or unfriendly orunapprochable. You have to learn how to be a Mr. Nice Guy a bit. Just a bit. Being too nice wouldn't bring in sales either. You have to be shrewdly nice. You get what I mean?

Simpler put, just use your common sense. Using your common sense makes you nice and smart and honest. And that should make you lots of good sales, even repeat sales, and lots of money. I cannot overemphasize honesty. I've seen a lot of liars make big money in sales, but they lost more through the customers they lost--and the loss of their souls. So, you tell me, "I don't know how to sell"? Just find something worthy to sell and be nice and smart and honest selling it.

Take Me, for instance. I'm not a real estate agent, I'd never made a sales in real estate all my life before this caller called me up. I don't know anything about selling properties or houses. I told myself, "I don't know how to sell!" But I wanted to make money--I badly needed money. I prayed and then asked a realtor friend if I could sell some of her properties. She said sure. So I put one property on my website and promoted it. I posted photos and details. I prayed again. Then, one day (about 4 days after) while in the comfort room, the phone rang. My heart pounded wildly--could it be that....?

To make this short, the caller bought the property and I made P40,000. That was last year. I didn't know how to sell properties, but I was able to. I didn't know or apply any special selling technique except display the property on my website, which anyone can do. I also sold a car doing the same even if I didn't know anything about cars or how to sell cars.

Don't be tied up to your inability to sell, always telling yourself, "I don't know how to sell." Just sell. Just do it. So what if you don't know how. Ask someone's help. Ask for referrals--who's likely to buy your product. Go ask around.

Selling is like walking. Nobody was born already able to walk.You've got to try it, fall and hurt yourself, but you've got to try it any which way. Then later, you learn how and much later do it very naturally. The same with selling.

So go sell something.

So You Just Lost Your Job..

So, you just lost your job and you have a family to feed. Or perhaps you are about to lose your job (you can forsee it happening) and are wondering how you're going to live life jobless. It seems there's no life outside employment. We fear unemployment because that's how we were programmed to see it--terrible, tragic, and hopeless. If you're haunted with the thought, all you need to do is see things differently.

What really is employment? So, you just lost your job--so what? Don't equate your job with life. It's not like oxygen that kills you when it disappears. A job is just a job. You can remain being in love with your wife and kids even while you're jobless, and they can be the same with you. Being jobless does not have to diminish anything you value in life. You can go on being happy in life while jobless.

The problem is, some people's norms told us that being jobless is the end of everything. It makes you feel less than a person and gives the impression that you are irresponsible. When in fact all you don't have is a job. That's all. How can that make you less than a human being? I know of people who are gainfully employed and yet are less than human when it comes to character. I know of folks who have great jobs with great pays but have broken families due to their rotten marriages.

So, you just lost your job--or probably about to lose it. Fear or fret not. It's just a job. Just make sure that you are a human being at heart. And if you are a spouse or a family member with your life partner or someone in your family who is jobless, make sure you fully support him or her. Being jobless is not that bad or tragic. Don't have yourself further brain-washed by people who want us to think that joblessness is a sin. It isn't. It's really an opportunity, a new page turned in your life.

Now, if you want to be useful and able to support your loved ones financially but you just lost your job (or about to lose it), it's a wonderful opportunity to choose a new livelihood path. It's actually your chance to become jobless big-time by trying a new income source. Try a new and unique business that suits your person and preferences. Believe me, there are a lot more alternative businesses available than you can imagine. Joblessness is not the end of the world. It's even a blessing in disguise. It can be a way out of your financial enslavement for good.

Some people think that there's only employment in life, and that life is only for employment. And they live it till they die. I pity these people. They lost all sense of freedom and adventure. Some people think adventure is climbing up heights till they get lost or tying their feet with a rope and jumping off cliffs till the rope stretches and they dangle suspended in the air. But then after all that excitement what do they do? They just go back to their jobs. That's not adventure. That's recess time--when you get your lunch box and eat your snacks---wow! And after that you go back to your classroom to listen to your boring teacher.

What's real adventure is going all-out for time and money freedom. So, you just lost your job? Congratulations! You just got your life back! Now use your life for your own enjoyment. Start doing a real livelihood that you like. Or, start doing an alternative livelihood or small business!

He Started with Street Food

Let's call him Manny. He started with street food. Well, when we were younger he graduated from Mapua, a primier engineering college in Manila. Then he passed the electrical engineering board. He tried lots of jobs but one day lost them all and became unemployed a long time and worried much about it. He had a family to feed.

In desperation--and much pride-swallowing--he finally ended up helping his brother sell street food, and that's literally selling finger food out in the streets near UP Los Banos. I once dropped by their small place years ago, but before they had that small place, they had been street vendors selling siomai on street corners with makeshift stalls--like the small-time vendors you see along busy roads looking like squatters. By the way, his brother (also an engineer) also had earlier quit his job to be jobless big-time. Oh yeah, he made it big with street food, able to buy his own house and send his kids to a private school. His wife had died; she formulated the special siomai mixture.

Then Manny decided to go solo with street food. He used to get a salary from helping his brother sell siomai in the streets. Now, he decided to go jobless again, but jobless big-time this time. He had a small capital he and his wife used to start their small business. He and his wife, both college grads, decided to hit the streets each night selling siomai. Just imagine what people thought about their financial condition and their livelihood choice.Imagine how they were mocked.

They were even harassed by policemen who chased them away for selling on the streets. So they worked out their business license when they had enough money, and gradually got a small legit stall. They worked that out for years.

Today, Manny has his own luxury van, a driver, and 4 small restaurants with steamed siomai as their specialty. Besides, they're looking for a property and house to buy as their own. He's stuck with being jobless big-time. He resolved never to go back to employment. He started with street food. Imagine that. If he did it (with enough imagination) you can, too.

Are you jobless now? Good! That's your break to start anew and be jobless big-time now, like Manny is. Yes, it entails sacrifice--great sacrifice, guts, imagination, and perseverance, plus lots of risks. But with God, you'd surely make it, if you don't give up.

Siomai
The thing is to determine to believe in yourself (your God-given potential), be your own boss, quit your job, and aim to succeed in a business you love doing. Look for something to sell. Yeah, you've got to sell something. Later, you can leverage and benefit from other people's time and effort, but still you have to continue selling now and then. It all starts with selling, and you maintain it by selling now and then, even if you are doing a network marketing business.

Keep selling. Teach your children the art of selling.

You think you're not designed for selling? But if you're getting an imagination for selling and beginning to develop an interest for it, you can be developed for a sales business. Sales people are made, not born. If you see it, you can make it happen, with God's blessing and guidance.

Now, Manny took the long way to success, but you can opt for a shorter way--not a shortcut but a shorter way. According to Manny, he started with a kilo of pork a day, and that's something like P3,000 a day (including the ingredients, condiments, utensils, gas, and packs). Per day he earned something like P500 or a bit more.

With some alternative businesses, like network marketing, you just start with P8,000 and can earn at least P3,700 a day or more. The P8,000 is your capital for the whole duration of the business, and that means years and years until you call it quits. You don't have to buy pork and ingredients each day, prepare siomai mix each night, wake up early to cook, set up shop on street corners each time you sell, and sell each night. And you don't have to hide from street cops. You don't need to get a place and pay monthly rent. You don't have to pay salaries or supervise employees. You just have fun with your teams, relax, and make money. I call the business Fun Team Building Net, where everyone just have fun making money.

Are you jobless? If not, quit your job!

Employment is the Problem, Not the Solution

YEHEY!!!
You heard (or read) it right--employment is the problem, not the solution. Governments range through the earth trying to provide employment for their jobless citizens, thinking that to be the solution. They've been doing it for years--but has employment solved anything except providing short-term, skin-deep remedies to people's finances?

Politicians have been promising us more jobs and more jobs, to no avail. More jobs have indeed been produced but the financial crisis continues. And still they think more jobs is the answer to our economic problems. So they invite investors and capitalists to set up business on our soil. But still the problems go on.

You know what? They haven't tried this solution this blog is militating for--remain jobless, but jobless big-time. More jobs is not the answer; being jobless is. The majority think being jobless is such a bad thing that they want to get out of the situation pronto to save themselves from dishonor and shame and cling to employment. That's what some people want us to think--that being jobless is shameful. But the truth is far from it. Being jobless is an opportunity to see a better opportunity.

You have to see that employment is the problem, not the solution, before you can see the logic in being jobless big-time. Employment shackles you to being free to explore more possibilities with your true potentials. I haven't seen a more close-minded person as one who has been employed for years, getting comfy and secured with his or her job. This guy will never see anything in life beyond his or her work. If it isn't employment, it's bad and bound to fail--that's how the guy thinks.

Are There Better Alternatives to Employment?

Are there alternatives? You bet! A lot of folks cannot be in business because of the big capital needed to start one. But there are lots of alternatives to doing a business aside from the usual big-capital businesses. The problem is, most people dismiss them as scams without really finding out for themselves if they are. Some people tell them it's a scam and they believe them outright. Such people show that they do not have the imagination and the boldness to find out the truth about things. They just listen to gossips.

But you should find out for yourself. You need to, because it's the only way out of your financial crisis. Your job is the cause of your financial lack because it only limits the worth of your abilities. You're worth more than what your boss wants you to believe. And to get your effort's worth, you need to try out non-traditional income sources. And I cannot overemphasize this--you need to try them out until you find one that suits you.

Of course, in your search for the right non-traditional business, you may have to suffer some losses. But it's better to risk to find a livelihood that will bring out your true potentials, than to waste your life and die doing a job (or waste your youth giving your best to an employment, enriching your boss). God designed your skills so you can use them for your enjoyment, says the bible. Employment allows other people to enjoy your skills.

Employment is the problem, not the solution. Don't look for a job--look for an income source that will let you enjoy your skills and enrich your life, at the same time giving you freedom to enjoy your family and do what God really wants you to do. And God has provided us more than enough ways to do a non-traditional business needing only a small capital but which can earn you big profits...something like investing only P8,000 but earning P924,000 a month out of that! Yes, there are such business programs, online or offline!

Go Sell Something

Are you jobless now? Go sell something. Don't look for a job--look for something to sell. Selling is your ticket to going jobless big time. With selling, you dictate how much you'd earn per day. 

With a job, you're fixed to a certain amount of money per hour or day. In Manila, that's something like P480 a day, if you're lucky to get that much. With selling, you can get as much as you want--even P37,000 a day. I know a small sales business where you get P3,700 per sale. If you make 10 a day, then that's P37,000 a day. In a more realistic sense, you can earn P8,400 easily a day with direct selling. I personally know a guy who makes it a point to sell to two persons a day or at least two days. He earns direct referral plus matching bonus, which amount to P8,400.

And the best thing with a sales business (not a sales job) is that you don't need high educational background to earn lots o money. Another guy I personally know earns P60,000 a week from his sales business, and he finished only 3rd level grade school. He quit his P30,000 a month job with a popular pineapple company. He's jobless big-time now, and he hates jobs and has no plan of looking for one the rest of his life. He's only 24. Are you a company executive? Do you earn P60,000 a week or P240,000 a month?

So, are you jobless now? Go sell something! Don't look for a job.

Sales Business, NOT a Sales Job

A sales job is where you are paid a salary plus commissions each sale you make. That's still a job, though it's better than a fixed-salary job. You may do it for a while, but don't do it more than 1 or 2 years. Sales jobs don't allow you enough free time to discover your true God-given potentials. You'd just be bombarded with sales quotas month after month to please your boss all your life, and that's a waste. Do a sales business!

What's a sales business?

If you want to go into business but don't have the big capital to do it (like so many of the rest of us), go look for a good sales business. A sales business let's you start small but immediately earn big, depending on your efforts. A good example is going into real estate. Be a freelance property agent and make a sale. You don't need a big capital here. I once partnered with a realtor and I chanced upon a buyer who saw my ad online. We had a tripping and then after a few days the guy bought the property. It took me only about P300 plus 2 weeks to earn some P40,000. Do it like it's your own business.

But there are simpler sales businesses that lets you earn more with meager starting capital. There are the online MLM businesses that allow you to stay home while you earn money. There are also the pay-per-click  programs, and blogging where you make use of your social networking hobby to promote your business. Look around and you'd see the amazing opportunities to make a lot of money even while there is an economic crisis in the world of traditional business.

Well, they say most of them are scams. So are most traditional businesses. Even most governments are hopelessly tainted with corruption, but people still believe in governments and government employees still work there. The thing is, look for a legit and good company to do your sales business with. I do blogs and post Google and Amazon ads, and its a sales business that makes me discover and develop my God-given potentials. I live very happily each day I do them. I have lots of free time with God, my wife, and my kids. And I earn some, even developing new and valuable friendships with guys from all over the world in the process! I'll never exchange that for any job. I'd rather go jobless big-time!

But there are more types of sales businesses to choose from than the above mentioned. All you have to do is scout around, check, try, try again, risk some, until you get the ones suited for you. Until you hit on a good company. And you'd never be able to do that if you're tied down to a job.

And yes, you have to take risks. Anyway, they're not that hard to take because you're just after small-capital sales businesses, costing from P500 to P10,000. Big businesses risks a lot and lose a lot when things go wrong with their business. And a sales business is REAL business; only, the risks are smaller. 

Have you heard of this one?--You invest a one-time investment of P8,000 but have the potential to earn from P3,700 a day to P924,000 a month or week? Yeah. there's such a legit sales business, and the products are wonderful! But here's a better one--With just P300, you get a discount card so you can sell a product and earn P550 each sale. Then, when you have made a total of 50 sales, you get to be a distributor for free and enjoy a lot of bonus earnings--even P924,000 a month.

Are you jobless? Well, I tell you, DON'T LOOK FOR A JOB. It's a trap, and the trap goes with a deception so that you become comfy with your job and a subsistence salary and never be challenged about discovering your true God-given lot in life. You'd die without reaching your true potentials. And that kind of inferior life will be transferred to the next generation. Stop the curse. Go sell something!

3 Keys to Going Real Big Time

You want real success? Well, there are 3 keys to going real big-time: 
  1. Remain jobless.
  2. Use the freedom wisely.
  3. Sell
True freedom is a must if you wanna go real big-time. If you keep your job, sorry, all systems will remain too busy that you won't even get a chance to glimpse what real success is. Employment is good only for a while--maybe 1 or 2 years. More than that, it's slavery. No slave will go big-time, ever. You know the story of Exodus in the bible? The Israelites thought they were going big-time erecting Pharaoh's pyramids and store cities, not realizing that all they were were pathetic slaves. 

Well, some of them got promoted to being "foreman" or supervisors, but slaves nonetheless. Employment can make you feel "big-time" with positions and titles and promotions and salary raises, but they're really nothing, good only as far as you're pleasing your boss. But you'd never reach your true potentials. Your true God-given potentials alone will set you free to achieve real success and happiness with your family.

There's this guy who works like a beaver for his company. He's being sent to far away places, going to work even on Saturdays and Sundays, away from his family most of the time. He thinks he's doing all these for his family. He never sees through the deception. He never realizes that only his company is benefiting from all his hard efforts. All he does for his family is provide money.

Remain Jobless

Very few realize that family needs you more than they do your money, hence the growing number of broken or rotten marriages or rebellious family members. It's all because they never see the need to be jobless so they can have more time alone in quietude pondering on what life is really all about and then discovering that being jobless is really a break, an opportunity to set things right so that they can go really big-time in life.

Are you getting this? Your job is standing in the way to real freedom, potentials, and success! All those people trooping to companies in hopes of finding job vacancies are wasting their time and effort--in fact their whole lives and their family members' lives, too!

If you are jobless now and desperate about your life because you're still unemployed or you just got fired or nobody wants to hire you or you're just a home body, fret not. Cheer up! God has put you in a position for  real success. It's just a matter of you using your God-given imagination (He gave each one of us enough to discover what life is really for) to figure out that remaining jobless is really a blessing.

Having a job can even seem like a curse--and I think it is--because, remember, when God punished Adam and Eve in the Fall, part of the curse was that from then on man would have to sweat it out just to eat and live. Meaning, from then on, man got a job! Whereas before that, he was plain jobless big-time! All he did was have "dominion" over creation and simply pick fruits from trees to eat and live abundantly.

If you want the best things in life, remain jobless. Are you jobless? Ha! Go jobless big-time!

Use the Freedom Wisely

When you're jobless, you got lots of time to spare. Use the time wisely. Talk to God. Then think about what life is really all about. Are you here to just work for somebody all your life? Or are you here to hone your full potentials? 

How about money? How can you get all the money you need to live in freedom and use that freedom for really worthy things to do in life? Can you get that money from employment? Do you know of anyone who lived freely to do what he or she had always wanted to do (doing what God had put in their hearts to do all their lives) by doing a job all their lives, by being tied down to a job description as long as they live?

Or, is it more realistic to think that doing a business or investment rather than a job is the only thing that can give you all the money you need to buy back your freedom and live a quality life with your family? So, are you jobless? Then think hard about these things while you're at it.

You know why you're jobless? God wants your full attention so he can show you what he designed you for, so he can talk to you about your real potentials. If you're busy with a job, you never pay attention to the still, small voice that keeps telling you that you're worth more than what your company is making you believe. God wants you to prosper. But you have to listen and take risks. Moses took a great risk when he told the Israelites to quit their jobs and do a business somewhere out there. "Where?" the Israelites asked. "I don't know," Moses replied, "we just have to listen well to God and take risks! Step out in faith"

And lots of times, we need to group with others who are of a similar situation and desire when taking risks. It's riskier being alone, although it's possible--if you're sure you have to do it alone--but there's safety in numbers, especially when travelling in the great wilderness out there. So, find a business that will allow you to do things in groups--a group of people who are intent at being jobless big-time. Are you jobless? Than this is for you.

SELL

Don't do a job--SELL! Fact is, money is in sales. And I believe selling is for everyone. God made us so that we all have the ability to "offer" or "share." Well, some can do it better than others can, but the point is, we can all do it. We can all have some success at it, if we take it to heart, aiming for freedom and going jobless big-time enough to live well. You won't believe the guys who have made it big in sales but who never seemed to be good at selling anything once upon a time in their lives.

No, don't get employed to sell so that you'd have a salary plus commissions. Well, you can do that for a while, but better if you do it without being an employee. Just be a freelance sales agent. That way, you can have freedom to do quiet times with God and with yourself. Spending some quiet time alone to meditate God and life is vital. It keeps you in proper perspective and it gets rid of stress.

Selling can position you for a business you are gradually mastering as you sell (employment can never do this). Selling a product for a long while leads to product and marketing mastery. That can launch you into business. And as I've said, you can do this in group so that your collective efforts can better assure success. It's what others call as a sales team.

Are you jobless? Well, don't worry about it. Your success key is in sales. Start analyzing your capabilities and the products you like most. And then see how you could do sales with them. Now. whatever you do, don't get negative about it. Just do it! Remember, many others have tried and succeeded, among them is yours truly. When I started in sales, I didn't seem like I was a born-salesman. I had a lot of bad deals. There were times when I got zero sales. But I just kept doing it, looking for the right products to sell. 

First I was an employed sales agent, scouting for the right business as I did. Then finally, I landed on one. I'm not yet a millionaire, but I and my wife are making good business so far. And we're doing it with a team of folks who also want to remain jobless big-time, who got their freedom by quitting their jobs.

Remember, you're worth more than a salary. You're worth a good life.

Are You Jobless?

Are you jobless, and are you wondering why? Have you done everything you could to get a job, to no avail, and does it seem like God is punishing you, for whatever reason, you don't know why? Being jobless can be tantamount to a serious death threat especially in these times of terrible economic crisis worldwide. "How am I going to live?" is the foremost worry in our minds.

But you need not worry. I'm not. And lots of times, it's got nothing to do with God's punishment. A lot of folks who deserve punishment are wallowing in wealth, fully employed, and even promoted big-time. Well, I don't wanna be big-time like that. I wanna be big-time the righteous way. And believe me there's a way. But you have to be jobless first. Hahaha! You don't believe me? You think this is a silly joke or something?

Are you jobless? To tell you the truth, it's hard to go big-time while you're tied down to a job. You cannot afford to have the freedom that it takes to really go big-time while your whole life (and even your family) is all tied to a job description. And lots of people feel comfy being tied down like that all their lives, and millions even go through college and do post graduate courses dreaming to be tied down to a job description all their lives one day. And they want the same to their children and their posterity through generations.

Imagine, whole generations of those enslaved by their jobs, just enriching their big boss all their lives. It's like a curse, really. So, are you jobless? Good for you.

Are you tied down like that to your job? Tsk, tsk...what a pity. Even if you hold a management position. You're just a senior slave, that's all. And as long as you're a slave like that you will never realize your true potential.

Thus, if you're jobless now, cheer up! God is setting you up for something bigger than what you have been led to think you're worth. God wants you to go really big-time! Employment is never his final plan for you. All you need to do is use your God-given imagination. If you can imagine it, it's possible. If you see it in your mind, it's real, and all it needs is some simple implementation. As a shoe brand says, just do it. If God lets you see it in your mind, the only thing left is just doing it.

But many folks never lift a finger even if they're allowed to see it. Why? It's due to two things:
  1. Peer Group Pressure: You're worried about what people around you might say.
  2. Your Job: You're afraid to lose your job.
Hence, many people live and die without realizing their God-given full potentials. What they accomplish are their man-assigned job description, NOT full potentials. Sigh!

Are you jobless? Good for you! Then you have nothing to lose. You can start really going big-time!

I'm JO Bless..Going Big Time

Hi there, fellas! I'm jobless, big time. And I wanna remain jobless big-time. I hate jobs. I want to be my own boss forever. Why should anybody else order me around all my life and tell me what to do to enrich him or her? I want to be in charge of my own life all through life. So, if you want the idea, come join me and read some more.

I want to share my thoughts online why I enjoy being jobless and yet remain big time. Not many people know the secrets on how to go really big time in life. They work all their lives and yet remain small-time, and yeah, even business people who have lots of money. You can be so rich and yet be going small-time. What a waste.

Okay, just call me Jo...Jo Bless. If you misspell that you'd get Jobless. And yes, I'm jobless but I'm really Jobless big-time. And I want to spread the idea around--that it's possible to go big-time while being jobless, and in fact the only way to go big time is to first become jobless. More and more people are in fact discovering this to be a fact--no, to be truth, a powerful life truth. They are dying to go jobless so they can go really big time. You dig that? Lots of people are desperate to get a job, but these other guys are dying to lose theirs, and some of them couldn't. That's one of the big funny and ironic reversals of life.

People who gradually discover the truth in abundance after being jobless are still the minority, but these enlightened folks would do everything to keep their hard-earned freedom. It's fun and liberating to be jobless. If you're problematic about being jobless, stop being so, and keep following this new blog to see how privileged you really are for being jobless, for being blessed among the few, and that you could be a pioneer, hacking a new path to success through this despised road to unemployment, to being jobless, and be richly big time.

It's crazy seeing enlightened folks just dying to escape for good from their enslaving jobs but couldn't, and people around them losing their minds trying to figure out why. And other people worry so much for them when they finally make a good get away while they thank God for the release. And believe me, this thing is gonna spread like wild fire especially in these trying times when economines are failing and people who think they've lost their lives losing their jobs are looking for new meanings or answers in life.

Oh yeah, you can be jobless big-time.
