Succeed To Give

Succeed to give is a new concept which needs a little explanation normally in business people tend to measure success by the amount of money they make, however with succeed to give we are already focussed on how the money will be used, not on making money ourselves but on being able to help others as a philanthropist.

We focus on others rather than ourselves

Yes its nice to make money, however giving money away gives a greater buzz and provides the energy to do more. Some people think that if they give money away they will not benefit, yes it might initially seem that they will take longer to meet their financial goal but there are other benefits such as paying less tax and being recognised as someone who cares and is prepared to step up and help others.

Charities around the world are under pressure with falling donations due to economic problems hitting peoples pockets, in Cyprus where I live a local hospice has been reduced to a one bed service from what used to be a 15 bed ward in a local hospital.

Our succeed to give program is based in the USA, centralised on helping Abused Children Childhelp.org but will be spreading worldwide.

Children are our future but did you know in the USA alone 5 Children die everyday as a result of child abuse. You could help to do something about it and at the same time improve you own life contact me for more details.

Become a Philanthropist

Do you know what a philanthropist is? It is a person who gives money to people who are poor or homeless, or provides other aid to those in need. Its a selfless act of sharing wealth with another human being.

Why do people give to others - the reasons can be varied but the act of giving actually makes one feels good and can be explained by the results of study 2006 study by a team of researchers at the National Institute of Healer led by neuroscientist Jorge Moll. They gave subjects some money and a list of causes to which they might contribute. They found that the mere thought of giving money to charity activates the primitive part of the brain associated with the pleasures of eating and having sex. Functional MRIs indicated that donating money stimulates the mesolimbic pathway, the reward centre in the brain, which is responsible for ­dopamine-mediated euphoria. Further research discovered a gene in peoples DNA Those who had ­certain variants of a gene called "AVPR1a" gave an average of nearly 50 percent more money than those not displaying that variant

Many business mentors suggest donating 10% of your income to charity and perhaps this is based on the Middle East custom of Tithing, tithing is the practice of giving 10 percent of your annual income to the needy. You donate one out of every ten dollars to the orphans, the widows, the destitute, or the temple high priests. However in these challenging financial times the practice has largely been abandoned.

The act of helping others can create an improved sense of well-being. Knowing that you sacrificed something such as time, finances or property in order to help others in need can give you a sense of purpose in life or work and inner satisfaction.

I have recently become involved with a group referred to as Philanthropic Vortex who are pledging not only to support a children's charity with donations but also to create a source of income to improve their own lives which in turn will allow then to be able to give to others.

Life In the Philippines

When Push Comes to Shove

This was a make or break week and much of it has been spent sorting accounts with Metrobank to ensure I can manage my account from abroad. Unfortunately their new all signing and dancing Internet backing system does not work so the old version has been reinstated. The result, tons of paper work to get simple tasks initiated to ensureI can pay money owing to other people. I then discovered limitations on my Debit card which meant I could not pay for airline tickets. I raised the issue with my bank and after going around the houses after times. They admitted they had no system in place to raise the limited and I was the first person to request a change.

I tried Metrobank's phone banking as an alternative to the Internet only to discover that rather than having a real person on the line it is a menu based system and if you want to to transfer funds to a new account you need to set this up by filling in forms at your branch.

My House insurance is due later this month so I emailed the insurance company but of course go no reply when I requested their bank details it seems once again this has to be done via the bank. What a way to run a business, and people ask why I am leaving the Philippines.

The week started with the worst possible news from the Cyprus Consul to say my families Visa had been refused because of an "immigration risk". Once again I set a precedence my challenging the decision and was told I need to contact the Department of Foreign affairs in Cyprus, but the Consul could not provide me the either the number or the name of the person.

After some 4 hours of calling and being transferred from pillar to post, including being referred back to the Cyprus Consul in Manila. I managed to speak to someone who worked for the Minster of the Interior, So I outlined my case that as a family of an EU Citizen they cannot be refused a visa, so 30 mins later I was informed that the Minister of the Interior has granted them a 3 month Visa which would allow time for residential visa formalities to be completed. This information would be passed to the Consul and the visa's could be picked up the following day.

Tuesday midday I phoned the consulate. The secretary had just arrived and I asked her for an update and she repeated the visa had been refused, so I directed her to go to the fax machine and read the latest fax. She came back 2 mins later and said "How did you manage that" It seems people normally meekly accept matters here. She then advised the visa's would be issued on Monday. So I corrected her and said the Minister had told me that Jasmin could pick up the passports today, It does not take six days to stamp and sign a visa. she Replied the Consul was not in the Office (that is why she was late to work), so I fine I would send a courier to pick up the documents on Wednesday and all being well they will arrive Friday. I can then finalise and pay for my airline tickets.

Life In the Philippines

Sorting Out Finances

Banking in the Philippines is a nightmare area which I have written about before, the problem being that no bank communicates with any other bank, resulting in the need for many businesses and individuals holding accounts in different banks. My task this last week has been to decide which of the accounts I have in the Philippines will be retained.

The banking issues if further confused when information given on websites does not match reality And when you approach staff they have no idea what is going on, for instance. According to the Social Security website payment of contributions can be made online via BANKNET. I logged into the system connected to my PNB bank filled out the forms but kept getting message please try again later after three days I emailed Banknet and they suggested I approach PNB. A woman PNB could not understand why I would want to pay on line when I could just go to the SSS office at the other side of town and pay over the counter. When I explained I was going to be thousand of miles away she still did not understand but told me to go the the SSS office.

The SSS office were a bit more switched on but said they did not think the system was working yet in Dipolog City but might work in Manilla. she however gave me the address of the President who would be able to enlighten me.

My next port of call was to visit the Electricity Supplier Zanaco to arrange payment of future bills. Their opening statement was "its not possible we don't have an online system " This was like a red rag to a bull so I rephrased my question another way and asked them which Bank they use to deposit money into and when they said Metrobank I asked for their account number. I reminded the guy that I was a member of the Co-operative and as such he worked for me to which he replied the magic words you need to see the General Manager so Two hours later I got what I wanted, On a monthly basis they will email me a copy of my bill and I will use my online system to pay into their account confirming the transaction my email. Mission Accomplished.

My the end of the week it seems that the everyone I need to pay has account with Metrobank, so It looks like that will be the account i retain. I also discovered that Payment from Metrobank to SSS also appear to work. I posted a test transaction and will see if that reaches the SSS next week.

I still need to resolve how I can instruct my bank to send money to another country without having to return to the Philippines but as Metrobank is upgrading its system this weekend this just might be possible. My removers have been in touch and are planning to pack my possessions on 23 April so everything is falling into place, but still no word on Visa's

Free Launch Offer earns money

Pre launchX

This last week my automated Forex system which is still in Pre launch made another gain against the Euro. This system has consistently traded once a month on average and my account has grown from $100 to approaching $2,000 at no cost to me because the initial $100 stake money was provided for free.

Not only do subscribers make money on Forex trading but they can earn commissions and bonuses by introducing other people. My potential sign-up bonus so far moving on on towards $4000 and potential commission over $1,000 per month when the product is released to the general public.

This is a no brainer and I recommend everyone to include and promote this product even if you know nothing about Forex, you just might make a windfall. I do not know of any other way of making money for free.

Someone asked my yesterday about another business if he was guaranteed to make money from it, the only way I know of getting guaranteed income is to get a job. Setting up you own business is a calculated risk and not for everyone, some will suceed but the the majority will fail.

Better Home Based Business

Commitment

What a strange world we live in many people are out of work and looking for jobs even seeking to make money online but are they really interested in Work.

I ask this question for two reason, I have watched a program "Fairy Jobmother" where a woman spends a week with along term unemployed family trying to get them back on their feet. They often have huge depts but would rather spend the days watching TV or lazing around the house rather than actively banging on doors.

Recently two people joined my online business and before they signed up i spent some time explaining what I required of them if they wanted to succeed. So they spent some money and did nothing expecting that some think magic would happen. I chased one up when he missed a planned appointment and his excuse was I have been out partying I will start tomorrow one week later he still must be partying if that's his priority he is heading nowhere.

The second guy is out of work, but once again not prepared to take action, does not answers calls or respond to messages. maybe I am different, if someone offered to help me build my business I would accept it with open arms, maybe its something to do with the age difference

I have written before about dragging a horse to water and struggling to make it drink, it actually happened to me many years ago in North East Brazil, we later had to abandon our horses and walk

Maybe I am harsh with my assessment but I know it those the people with fire in their bellies bellies who are successfully and it is better to spend time with people who have the will to succeed rather than those that think it might be nice to have more money
