The Waves of Philippine Business P. 1

I know I know, there I go again, passing up my blogging schedule. I've ran out of reasons, (they're real by the way), but on with the new entry. I said two weeks ago that I would talk about the next wave of Philippine business. Yup, it's my attempt at being Alvin Toffler-like. I haven't read past the cover page of his book/s; but, seeing how his books are still being sold today, it probably has some really good stuff inside.

Too often, the cliche that you must look to the past to know the future is mentioned whenever a person is to talk of what he thinks about the future. I find that I also have the temptation to do that. But instead of using that cliche, I'm going to use another one - "Hindsight is 20/20."

And indeed, the looking back and understanding the past is 20/20.

I was idling by one day, thinking of how things have changed over the years, and how many business opportunities were lost along the way. Not one to have much time on his hands, I guess I shelved the though for a while and went on to my other tasks. However, my brain is never in a state of inertia. Even when I am doing something, thoughts just keep popping up in my head, and this thought I guess was one of those I couldn't ignore. It was the thought of the waves of Philippine business.

I'd like to caution you that I'm not born nor academically trained to be an economist. I just have a penchant for observation and "quiet dissertation". Quiet dissertation is my own term for the times when you present your hypothesis in your mind, then you argue the points and the cons of that hypothesis, but only in your mind.

Right now, these hypothetically called "waves" have no general theme yet. They're all just a bunch of ideas that need collation. At any rate though, I'd discuss them one by one albeit with less flow and consistency in theme. I hope that they will be an interesting read for you and that they will conjure up business ideas for you as well.

Come back for my next entry as we journey together and (valiantly attempt to) discuss what I think business was before to what business will be down the Philippine road. I always love to say, if hindsight is 20/20, then foresight is ensuring you still have 20/20.

Remember, as much as Guerilla Investing is about investments, starting and doing any form of business is also an investment. And unlike other investments, a business requires more than just an investment of money or capital. It requires an investment of time, brains, and will power. But as history (again, the past!) will show, succeeding in business have made for people more money than investments.

Until the next entry, do investing the Guerilla Investing way! I've got investing tips, tricks and new gimmicks in the coming months. I've been blogging for more than a year already and I think it's really time to migrate to something bigger. Ciao for now! =D
