I was invited by a friend to Go Negosyo Youth Entrepreneurship Summit, organized by the Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship (PCE), the non-governmental organization behind the Go Negosyo advocacy.

The Go Negosyo Youth Entrepreneurship Summit promotes entrepreneurship among Filipinos, the youth in particular.

Obviously, just by the name of this site, I support GoNegosyo’s advocacy to change the mindset and attitude of Filipinos when it comes to starting a business and to make entrepreneurship More >

A lot of people actually believe that money is the root of evil… that rich people are evil, greedy, etc… some actually believe that they can’t be ‘spiritual’ and rich.

I think one of the reasons that a lot of Filipinos have these beliefs is because of the teleseryes (television series) and movies. Most of the time, the lead star of the show comes from a poor background and the villains or bad guys are the rich ones.

Here is another myth that’s keeping Filipinos poor. There are those who say, “Pera lang yan… Hindi importante ang pera…” (It’s just money… Money is not important…)

Another barrier to Filipinos wanting to start a business is money…

Another myth instilled in Filipinos’ minds is…”You have to work hard for money.”

A famous Filipino saying is “Kapag may sipag at tiyaga, may nilaga.”

Did you know that taxi drivers are hard-working? Some of them work 24 hours a day! What about jeepney drivers? The balut vendors? What about your neighbor, your officemate, your spouse, your best friend? Are they hard-working? “May nilaga ba?” Can they stop working today and still More >

“The goal of loving the poor is to help them stop being poor.” – Bo Sanchez

When somebody tells you that there is a way to get rich without a job, how do you react?  Do you go take a notebook and ask that somebody to teach you how?  Nah, I don’t think so.
