YOUnique Book – Learn How to Succeed with Others

, , , ,




After reading several chapters of Jayson Lo's new book, YOUnique, I took the liberty to post an excerpt and a good take away.

Jayson writes …

Even though man can live alone, eat alone or survive alone, he was created to function in a community. Human beings are designed to be with other human beings. We are meant to be together with other people.
I like to think that "different" isn't spelled "B-A-D." I spell it, "G-O-O-D." Someone can be different and not be wrong. If everyone were like one person, then this planet would be a whole lot depressing to live in because we would do the same stuff again and again.

Jayson continues and takes it further…

When you look for team members, make sure you pick people who are different from you.

I couldn't agree more. Don't look for duplicates, or people who will think like you. It's good to be with people who sees the world differently. Not only will you find their insights valuable, but they will also most likely complement the work that you do.

The challenge is for YOU to know how to work with them and that's what Jayson answers in his book, YOUnique. 

Here's your chance to hear Jayson Lo talk about the four YOUnique personalities. Attend the YOUnique Conference on July 27, Friday. See the event details here. See you there.

Blogging for a Purpose – Week 1

, , , ,




I've been given the privilege to teach 10 students (12-14 years old home schoolers) on how to "Blog for a Purpose." This will go on for 8 weeks. At the end of the program, I hope that they'll be able to find their voices and use their blogs to make a difference in their generation. 





















Here's the transcript:

Good afternoon! My name is Yeng Remulla. Welcome to the "Blogging for a Purpose" class.

I own a blog called "Productive Pinoy." This blog started around 2008. My original intention was to journal the things that I've learned in business and in life. 

This blog branched out to what's known today as the Productive Pinoy book – 19 positive reviews as of date, making it one of the most recommended reads this 2012. The book is now available in 100+ bookstores nationwide.

My blog has allowed me to ...
• help others by giving practical tips or advice 
• provide motivation or inspiration to others 
• promote other people's work
• organize my ideas/thoughts and develop my writing skills 
• journal my learnings and later on jumpstart a book 
• promote the Productive Pinoy book and connect to its readers
• sell my book online
• organize events like this.
• get invitations to speak to organizations about productivity
• collaborate with other awesome bloggers like this group
• get invitations to write for publications
• meet other bloggers and champions in their industries 

In this class, I'd like to help you start a blog that you can use to make a difference.

As a student in this class, you're expected to …
1. Join the discussion.
2. Research on your own. (consider Google to be your best friend!)
3. Probe and ask questions.

Let's start our discussion!

What is a blog?
‘From “Web log.” A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a blog is a “blogger.”
Unlike the usual "website"...
Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in chronological order, with the most recent additions featured most prominantly.’

Blogs are used in different ways. Each blogger has his own reason or purpose why he or she blogs. 

This person is a big fan of Justin Bieber... 
As a former CEO of Thomas Nelson, one of the biggest publishing company in the world, Michael Hyatt is blogging to help aspiring authors to succeed and get published.
My friend Ruffy Biazon blogs about his insights on good governance.
The Act Like a Man blog answers the tough questions on manhood.

How about a blog that's specifically written for librarians?

These are just a few examples of the blogs you'll find online. 



DISCUSSION: Why do you think people blog? (below are the answers from our discussion)

8 REASONS PEOPLE BLOG

1. To teach

2. To sell their services or build their expertise

3. To express their art

4. To influence people or change the world

5. To improve their writing / or clarify their thinking

6. For fun or entertainment

7. To stay connected

8. To make money



Why blog? Who are you writing for? What would you like to change?

The first step in blogging is to know your purpose.


ACTIVITY:
1. Draw/illustrate the blog that you're planning to start.
2. Tell us something about your blog. What makes it different?

Elise will blog about the music of her generation – and how it could be better.

Gab will blog about his insights on science and sports.

Spring and Joaquin will journal their learnings from their home schooling classes.

Sam will start a photo blog – "The world through her lens"

Trey will start a blog called "groundedintheword.com" – a blog that will encourage teenagers to live according to God's Word. 


It was refreshing to hear from them! I'm excited for week 2!

HOW TO BECOME AN EXPERT

, , , , , ,







What makes an expert?

A generic answer we often hear is that an expert is someone who has gained a lot of "experience."

Malcolm Gladwell, the author of Outliers, puts it more eloquently  – It takes 10,000 hours of practice to be an expert in any field.

Easy? 

 Yes, maybe if it's just about counting the years in a calendar.

What's not obvious in that statement are the things that you should be able to do (and endure) to reach 10,000 hours. 

 You're most likely to quit when... 
... a deal you've hoped for didn't push through 
... a lot of your attempts failed
... you hit a wall
... you feel like giving up

It's not just about the number of hours. It's what you learn in those hours and how you respond to situations not in your favor.

So I'd say, "An expert is someone who've made a lot of mistakes, persisted, and found ways to succeed."

We, Pinoys, grew up in an environment where our elders (parents, teachers, leaders) discouraged us from making mistakes. We were told that  in order to succeed, we need to follow the rules or the textbook. Only to find out later on that the "old rules" doesn't apply in today's world anymore.

While no one should aim for mistakes, we shouldn't be too afraid to make them as well. Making a mess is a part of learning. 

As a young entrepreneur, what proved to work for me is this saying – Fail fast, fail cheap and fail often. Do that, innovation, maturity and expertise will follow! [image credit]


YENG REMULLA is an entrepreneur of 15 years, the author of two books –Productive Pinoy and Start Something.

On August 3, Saturday, he will be facilitating a talk or workshop on Entrepreneurship at the Malayan Plaza Hotel Ortigas. To see the details or to register, simply click HERE and fill-out the form.
