Tithing and Financial Freedom

Sonnie — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 23:29:07 +0000

A few Sunday’s back, instead of the usual scenario where I follow up my kids to bring their tithes to the Lord, they proudly came to me prepared.

I have been instilling to my children the value of tithing and how this should be handled.

A tithe is giving back to the Lord the 10% of your earning as a sign of respect. It’s not about the amount, rather the act of worship.

It’s NOT [...]

Another F.F.

Sonnie — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 12:16:16 +0000

Allow me to discuss another F.F., but this is still not the “friends with benefit” practice of young couples

This FF is about the dream of ordinary people, those working in 8-12 hour shifts, those whose aspiration is to give their families good lives at the same time, spend more time with them.

Yes, I am talking about Financial Freedom.

Financial Freedom simply means your money and assets work hard for you.

Employees, whether in blue collar or [...]

A Time To Invest?

Sonnie — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 14:29:01 +0000

Early today, I met with agents of a bank to dicuss their financial products, from dividends enhanced life insurance, education and pension plan. We also discussed a little of their Pre Need product since this industry is fighting for survival. I’m not sure, though, if they also carry travel health insurance.

Though, I find most of their products enticing, my objective is to get the best proposal for the retirement plan of the company.

It made me think though, whether this is [...]

“A business [should be] dynamic. It must be flexible and attuned to the changing times. It must not stand still or be passive. It should continually search for progress and improvements. It must regenerate and reinvent itself.”

–ROLANDO HORTALEZA, Splash Corp.–

“An entrepreneur must follow his gut feel only after he has carefully weighed the pros and cons of any situation. If you do what you believe in, you can never go wrong. And [...]

How To Live During Global Financial Crisis

Sonnie — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:49:02 +0000

In light of the impending global economic crisis courtesy of the US economy, how should a Jesus freak, like me, live?

(1) Is this a time to be afraid? And (2) What should I do?

Like life, there is a cycle for economic activity, a time for a great economic boom, and a time for crisis too.

In the Philippines, I heard there is at least one economic crisis every decade. In the 70′s, it happened on [...]

Carnival Of Make Money Online

Sonnie — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 20:17:55 +0000

Yeah I know, life is not easy because fuel and food prices are steadily increasing. And our hard earned money kept on losing it’s value due to inflation and/or devaluation of currencies. Unfortunately, salaries do not increase as fast as petrol prices do. Because of this, more and more people are looking for alternative ways to earn extra bucks. And this is where bloggers and other online publishers have a little edge. We know we can make money online.

There are lot’s [...]

While waiting for the fight between Pacquiao and Diaz, Sunday morning in Manila/ Saturday night at the USA, lets briefly discuss another opportunity to earn online. Remember ClickBooth, an affiliate network that promise to give you better earnings and opportunity?

Just like other earn money online networks, the company intend to bring together quality advertisers and publishers under one loop, to a profitable partnership. BUT they believe they offer better solutions that can bring about more revenues [...]

Be Your Own Boss Or Work For Someone Else?

Sonnie — Thu, 29 May 2008 20:30:42 +0000

I just came from Entrecard dropping and I read a blog of a Certified Public Accountant turned “problogger” about her desire to start a business. It is worth mentioning that some bloggers have quit their job and still others would like to follow suit. This, I believe, is because of the convenience to work at home and in our own time, and because some succeeded in earning 6 digit income by blogging.

With the telecommuting options not accepted here yet, I [...]

Make Your Money Grow

Sonnie — Sat, 03 May 2008 06:16:25 +0000

I just heard over radio that fuel prices increased again @ 12:00 noon today by Php 1.00 or $.02 per liter. Add to the fact that rice price has not yet stabilized, and Thailand intend to convince the other rice producing ASEAN member nations to form a rice cartel patterned after OPEC who dictates the prices of fuel.

With these, it is only prudent to explore other means to earn. Investing our hard earned money in business or CDs is common, [...]

Another Blog And Earn Opportunity?

Sonnie — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 23:11:58 +0000

Are you familiar with Clickbooth Affiliate Network? Am not sure if this network is new, but I would like to find out how it differs with it’s competitors.

Just like other affiliate networks, they intend to bring together quality advertisers and publishers to a profitable partnership, but they claim they have better solutions that will bring together these stakeholders under one roof. And according to them, they can guarantee the highest hassle free pay-out for publishers, who are not only [...]
