Paolo's Sales Plan

Amazing!

That was my initial reaction and I was just looking at the documents. I was even more amazed after reading the contents. And I am more excited for the plans' execution and the results.

True, it may be a normal thing for a sales person to do but I haven't seen such kind of output. He even did a better flowchart than those who are expected to know more and create more flowcharts.

If only those who has a lot to say about the mistakes of our company can convert their energies to creating such an output, whether for sales, delivery, or self improvement. And I better start with myself. :D

Thanks Pao for the inspiration!

Month end

Ever since I became an accountant, I never experienced the month end drama. Well until now. It's just that what I am feeling right now is the same as the month end drama of all those who have something to cope and accomplish during month end. GGB in short.

Since my former boss left, I had so many things to do. It was ok at first because it felt like I was doing the same stuff  before. However, I think everything has taken its toll. Or perhaps I haven't allowed myself to rest when I got sick that's why until now I am still sick. I can take a leave but I won't. Crazy? Yes. I allowed others to take their rest so there is someone who will be left in the office.

Looking forward to the weekend, hopefully I can have a full rest.

Effective Leadership

With the plans we have for the team this year, we need to fast track things to see results. It's almost month end. It's time to take action.

First on the list is training them for presentations. They'll be provided a topic and they will be the on to discuss about it in our team meetings. And feedback will be provided after.

But as Jr put it, I need to lead by example. So he gave me the first topic - effective leadership. I'm too excited that there are already a lot of things going in my head on what I am going to say and how will my presentation flow. Though I am more excited with the realization of all the plans set.

And I pray for everyone's cooperation.

I asked someone about what he wants from a leader. And I am not that person. Am I hurt? Am I offended? Am I demotivated. No and no and no. I am happy that I got an honest answer.

As a leader, my guiding principle is simple, I do things for the greater good, I do things with love.

On to that effective leadership write up.

how are you

It's been a while
That we haven't talked
You were busy
I don't want to get in the way

But it's been a while
I can't help but wonder
Are you still busy?
Can I already get in the way?

Yes, it's been a while
And I really want to talk
I miss you
I want to know how are you

It's been a while
I know I can just ask you
But I am not going to
Though I want to know how are you

But it's been a while
I want to talk to you
I miss you
Just my pride is getting in the way

Yes, it's been a while
Do you miss me?
Do you want to talk?
Can you utter, how are you?

It's been a while
And we need to talk
We're busy. We have our pride.
We shouldn't let those get in the way

sick

Times like this...i just want to go home. Lisoda aning way mag alaga nimo.

smile

There will always be that person who will always bring a smile on your face despite and inspite.

And I realized that you are that person.

Thank you.

Still a Dream

I love you
You finally said
I smiled
My heart skipped a beat

I love you, too
I responded
As I hugged you back
My heart skipped another beat

I love you
You said again
As we walked towards
Our ever after

I love you, too
I whispered
As I open my eyes
From my slumber

I Unloved Thee

I unloved thee. I am not sure if that is grammatically correct. What I know is that statement explains a person's stand at point. If loving someone is a decision, so is unloving.

I had a wonderful conversation with a friend tonight. Finally, she can openly say that she already decided to unlove someone. At least not the same level as before. It took her a while. A very long while. And I am glad that she did. Sometimes, deciding to stay in love can be very tragic.

I pray that she can stand by that decision.

As for me, haven't "decided" yet.

:p

for 2015

Rad

Often you will hear people saying, more often than not an employee leaves a company because of the boss. But what if it was the boss who left? Will that necessarily make the direct reports stay? Or will that make them leave all the more? I don't have the answers to these. And for sure there are no conclusive answers. It will all depend on specific circumstances.

Last Friday, my boss officially left the company. I cannot say that I was close to him but I can say that we had a good working relationship. He's not the typical boss who dictates. He gave me freedom to do my thing as long as I deliver. He wasn't perfect. There were times that I don't agree with him. There were also times that I wished he wasn't my boss. But the more I get to work with him the more I understand. Esp. when he started get out of his shell. His job wasn't easy and I am glad that at least I was able to help make it easier for him.

I'll forever be thankful to Rad. If he was a different type of boss, I wouldn't have survived. Yes, there were times that I wanted to leave the company but for different reasons. I'll forever be thankful for the understanding and compassion he showed. Esp during those times that I had to take long leaves because I had to take care of my parents.

I thank him most esp for the vote of confidence. He trusted me enough to take his place. Did he prepare me for it? I think he did. And I'll do my very best to not fail him and the others who trusted me as well.

Tomorrow, I'll officially take on a new journey in my career. I pray that I'll have a smooth journey. If not, I pray for people who'll help me get through. I don't want to be the reason why people will leave.

To my former boss, I pray that you get to achieve what you aimed for in the new position you'll take. See you around! :D

Page 1 of 365

Since the birth of social media, you will always see people posting Page 1 of 365 on the first day of the day. And for a week or two, the countdown will trend until you realize that you're back to page 1 again.

What is nice about the new year is that it gives people a resolve to start anew, thus the start of the new book. Though many would negate new year's resolution as it usually doesn't materialize, the fact that people make it, is in itself good.

As for me, I don't remember when was the last time I made a resolution. What I do every new year is set guiding points to make my year better than the last. And what usually on the list that I often neglect, is the journey to be healthy. I am starting the year 15kls heavier than my ideal weight. And I aim to lessen that this year. Again, I pray for consistency. I guess I need to always remind myself that I cannot achieve my dreams, my goals of helping others reach their full potentials if I don't have the energy to do it.

So my 15 guide points for 2015 to be healthier:

1. Eat right.
2. Get enough sleep.
3. Exercise.
4. Be positive.
5. Smile.
6. Communicate.
7. Believe.
8. Meet new people.
9. Be honest.
10. Talk.
11. Keep good relationships.
12. Let go.
13. Travel.
14. Introspect.
15. Pray. Daily.

Happy New Year!

Cheers!
