Last night I attended a business forum sponsored by PLDT smenation at the Max Restaurant in Gateway mall. Apart from the presentation of the sponsor, we had a speaker.
Boom San Agustin is a Toastmaster, therefore a polished speaker. But it's always more interesting for me to hear people talk about how they succeeded. I'm not really going to listen to somebody boasting about being a self made man. I'm more into talks that make you set up and say "Yeah, he did it so maybe I can do the same."
Boom talked about how he turned his life around using social networks. I'm not going to repeat what he said, you can try visiting his blog and find the story for yourself. The thing is, my situation was not as bad as his was. I have the resources that he didn't have when he worked on promoting himself on the net. Yet, he's doing it better than me. And I'm supposed to be a techie.
Oh well, techies aren't known to be good businessmen.
I guess the real lesson is, and I take it from Jimmy of Bazaar sa Erod, "You have to be disturbed by your situation before you will strive for success."
