Duplication : A practical way to multiply your time

God has given us the same opportunity. He has provided the same number of hours, minutes and seconds each day for us to maximize. We can’t buy extra hours to do the things we love (even the rich can't do that).

That’s it. All we have is 60 seconds in a minute. 60 minutes in an hour. 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. 52 weeks per year. Nothing more, nothing less.

We can’t bring back the wasted time of our yesterdays just to have more time today. It does not work that way.

But the good news is there’s a powerful law of nature that can work for us. This law is called the Law of Duplication.

Duplication is all around us. We will not be able to live on this planet without our Mom and Dad. Everything will be extinct (or should I say nothing will exist today) if duplication does not exist.
That’s how nature works.

In order for us to have more time doing things we want to do, we need to maximize the Law of Duplication to its full potential. We need to duplicate ourselves. Duplication can be done by creating a team and/or using technology.

Creating a Team. I work in a manufacturing industry. We produce million units per year. I can’t imagine how many units can be produced if there’s only one person in the shop floor doing all the things from material warehousing to finished ingredient processing to packaging and shipping. If you’re that person, that would be very tiring right? That would be very, very toxic. That would require you to work more than 24 hours per day.

Use of Technology. Can you imagine if there’s no CDs, MP3s, etc? Your favorite singers will hate that PLAY button. Why? Because every time you hit that play button, these singers will come to you and sing your favorite songs. Hmmm… that would be fun if you’re the person to be entertained! But what if you are the singer? You’ll hate it right? Lastly, I could not imagine if two households hit the play button at the same time. If that happens, you’ll lose one fan right away.

That’s why we need to have a team and technology to duplicate ourselves to complete a certain task at a certain time. This would enable us to do other things that matters to us. This way, our time is duplicated as well.

Managing Spare Time : Virtual Assistant + Serving GOD + Financial Education

I had a tremendous week.

My spare time is well spent. I can’t believe that I actually did those stuffs.

Anyway, let me share what happened to me this week.

I started my week with a bang. Just came from a blessed Easter Sunday. Edel and I celebrated the Easter Sunday attending the Grand Feast at SMX Convention Center in SM Mall of Asia. I’m so blessed to have almost all of my mentors in one place. I talked to our financial mentor Dr. Dada Rosanes of International Marketing Group with her kids. I discussed virtual assistant stuffs with my Internet Marketing mentor Jomar Hilario while waiting patiently for the food queuing area. I listened to Bo Sanchez’ awesome preach, the first part of the Overcome Series. There are various published articles online that discusses the things that happened during the Grand Easter Feast. 

Feel free to check them out.

Edel’s Choose to be Wealthy Article

Bo Sanchez’ blog post : Be a Sponge and Absorb God's Blessings

Later that afternoon, Edel and I had a great full body massage at Rafraf together with Marvin located in Halang Calamba Laguna. After that Marvin, Edel and I discussed our future plans regarding our business. We’re on the path in making this a reality. Soon you’ll find out. In case you’re interested to join feel free to email me at projects@elvinperia.com.

This fuels me to start my week right. I’m so fired up!

I went to the office. I had mountains of things to do to start my week. I need to prepare the Post Campaign Analysis for Malaysia, prepare the March Month End Excess Inventory Report, submit the daily inventory report and the weekly service reports, give an orientation about the service and inventory reporting plus other stuff and attend a lot of meetings.

Anyway, these tasks are the things I need to accomplish within the week. Sounds like an easy task but most of these reports require half to one day to finish.  Imagine that. 

This is the exciting part. Every after I finished my day job, I look forward to finishing my assignments as a virtual assistant. Having two jobs at the same time requires proper time management (which I'm currently learning). My tasks as a virtual assistant are just simple. It only requires me to answer emails, to save the inquiries in a template in Microsoft Excel and provide a daily update regarding the status of the project to my client. In fact, this week, as far as I know, I answered on an average, 50 emails in less than 1 hour. Cool right?

Also, this week, I re-started my passion. I joined Laguna Feast’s Music Ministry. In fact, I just got home from the band practice. Of course, I played the guitar. I learned 4 new songs. I met new people (people who are very passionate in serving God’s people thru their talents). Just in case you want to be part of Laguna Feast you may email them at LagunaFeast@gmail.com.

One more thing, of course, I attended Wealth Academy’s Series 10 entitled Distinctions in the mind of Poor, Middle class and Rich discussed by Wealth Academy’s proponent and CEO Noel Arandilla. On my next post I will be sharing the things I learned from this series.

Until my next post.

Ooops. Before I forgot. I'm posting this article using my email. I'm using a Blogger feature called Mail2Blogger. Mail2Blogger allows you to create blog posts using your email.

Money Working For You

What a week!

I guess last week is the most tiring and rewarding week of my life.

It is tiring because for the first time in my life I’m doing two jobs at the same time. I’m an employee at day and a virtual assistant at night. It is rewarding because I’ve learned a valuable lesson.

I learned the difference between money working for me and me working for money. Obviously I’m currently working for money and I’m happy that money is coming to me but there’s a challenge. My body is screaming! I could not have a good night sleep.

This just shows that human beings have our own sets of limitations. We can only work at the maximum of 16 hours a day to have good enough sleep. We need those 8 hours of sleep to have a healthy body and a refreshed mind. (Additional note : Drinking of energy drinks is not a permanent solution for this. Take note, NOT THE PERMANENT SOLUTION because I know that there are very hardworking people out there who drinks a lot of energy drinks just to stay awake. This is very, very unhealthy.)

Money on the other hand can work 24 hours a day for us. No limit. No rest day. No holidays. No weekends. No summer breaks. Money works 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

You might ask? How can I do that?

First, you must understand how money works. Second, you must know how to handle your money by having the courage to discipline yourself and lastly, find a way to increase your sources of income.

Fortunately, I am part of a group that can help you have your money working for you. The group is called International Marketing Group (IMG). It has a program called WEALTH ACADEMY PROGRAM consisting of twenty series that can transform you by teaching you these three things (1) Financial Literacy, (2) Discipline and (3) Entrepreneurship. We believe that the greatest asset is financial intelligence.

Here are the topics covered in the WEALTH ACADEMY PROGRAM

Series 1 : Finacial Solutions Today

• Six Steps to Financial Freedom
• How Money Works
• The Wealth Formula
• Building a Solid Financial Foundation
  

Series 2 : Finance and Investment 101

• Different investment vehicles and strategies
• Bypass the middleman and become your own financial adviser/broker
• Mutual Funds / Diversification and Money Cost Averaging etc
  

Series 3 : Creating Multiple Income Streams

• Different sources of passive income
• Creating passive income streams
• New concepts in making good money
  

Series 4 to 20 : A comprehensive approach to personal and financial success

Sounds interesting right?

The knowledge I got from attending these series motivates me to act and take control of myself and my finances. That's the primary reason why I'm adding more sources of income for me to invest more for my future. Soon, I'll have my money working for me instead of me working for money. Soon, this will come true (I'm looking at 5 to 10 years time frame). How about you? When do you want to have your money work for you?

Until my next post.
