Good Day Sir!

Here's the HTML code for the presentation:


By the way Sir, I'd like to thank you for inspiring us to reach for our dreams and for helping us realize our full potential.  15 sessions are too short to learn everything about Entrepreneurship but it was enough to motivate us to dream big and make a dent in the universe!

I'll see you around Sir.  Hopefully, 2 years from now, you'll see a better version of me.

Thank you for being a part of my AGSB journey! God bless and may you continue to inspire others through your teaching.  

Cheers, 
Belle

Fwd: Notes on the Business Plan (follow up)



Good morning:

I noted many deficiencies in the outlines drafts of bp submitted to me:

l.  Business concept:   describe your business, in 50 words or less about its product, ptm, channels and its mvp
2.  Business model:  folllow the alex osterwalder model (the one in the bmi presentation) and the one reported in class.  Many did not do this.  For the MM class, it is M. Abellon's and Dennis Guzman's presentation
3.  KRAPI:   remember the 4 grous of objectives?  what is KRA?  what is PI.  Mission and Vision must be differentiated
4.  Follow the required format.
It pays to:
1.  Read Moratos's book Trilology and go to the portion in making BP, and maybe remember my exemplar.
2.  Review the syllabus on BP, the ppt presentation on BMI and on BP

Thank you.

Jorge

On Business Plan

These are my comments on the business plan which I write as comments on the drafts submitted and which I have been repeating in both MM and Standard program entrep classes:

l.  Kindly read very well the hand/out syllabus which contains the detailed write up on business plan.

2.  Please read Dr. Ed Morato's book, Trillogy of Enterpreneurship on the section on business plan writing.  Better still, buy the book if you are serious in learning how to write a business plan.

3.  You can view my slide presentation on the same topic.  I f you do not have a copy of the ppt. you may go to slideshare..  www. slideshare.profjorge_entrep

COMMENTS:
l.  Please follow the prescribed BP format.  It will enable to grade everyone fast and uniformly and fairly.  It will be 30 pts on innovativeness and being compelling.  70 pts on completeness.  What are to be rated in completeness.  Business concept and model  l0 pts.   VMOKRAPI - l0 pts.  Sales Estimate (from EA opportunity seeking, screening/micromarket),  product  -  l0 pts. product design and production l0 pts/
EDS in long form l5 pts.  Financial l5 pts.  at least 3 years.  A bp without fs does not get a passing grade.

2.  Be sure you learn how do a business model.

3.  Have the 4 groups of objectives.  Do not mistake inputs for objectives

4.  There are 4 groups of organizational leadership:  financial/equity holders, techonology owner/provider. top management, and middle managers.

5. A BP's ;purpose is to prove to the readers your story that you can do the things you said there, from the rigors of analysis, ce and logic

6.  Compellling and mesmerizing.

It is sad to note that the business plans submitted early to comply with graduation requirements have yet to meet these standards.



Regarding our Clark Entrep Class Yesterday

June 23,20ll




Hi Angelica,

l.  Re Jeopardy,  it was well done.  Thanks and Congratulations to Ana.  That would be her make up for missing the case. That jogged our memory and hinted very well what strategy, risk taking by entrep is all about.  Congratz to Group B your group

2.  Your group did well on the BM except we have to use Alex Osterswalders canvass.  The other groups that  did not improve on their process.

3.  Re case analysis, I wish I did justice to your expectation of critical thinking.  Richard asked me on what is the correct answer.   Well.....It is always important to know what you want to do and have facts and arguments to support your thesis/case

4  Are you willing to do a co author/collaborator role?

Dapat pala MB nagamit kong image for the business model.  Kailan basag bote to bless it.  You can definitely afford a sensor/sorter in the plant.  Thats a priortiy

Teaching Assignments at AGSB

Teaching Assignments at Agsb

What Pisses You Off at the School...?

Its part of the assignment in NU l2 (NU6 for Regis) to submit a list of what pisses you off at the school.  Quite a number of complaints came up which should be addressed:

l.  Facilities:   run down toilets, without tissue paper, smelly at times;  parking at basement is always full, the parking fee should be dispensed with since their tuition is quite high all ready.

2.  Procedures and scheduling:    they prefer classes on Saturday.  Its difficult to study on weekdays.  Most of the subjects they prefer are not available or are closed. The online registration does not work very well.?? The 200 pesos fine for not not wearing ID is anti student/customer

3.  Personnel:  some professors come in late, some of them are not fit for the job, some are inconsistent with their grading system, procedures.  Do not do many relevant local cases.  Some are very theoretical and are not relevant to the business school/business.

Office staff:  there are some who are not attentive to complaints of students; are not customer service oriented. They should be evaluated also.

4,  Other students:

     l.  The foreign students who are not good in English slow down the learning process.
     2.  There are inconsiderate students who disturb you during class
     3.  Those who bring laptops do not take down notes but surf the web or worse look at their FB

Some of these need immediate action

Mr. Romme lMina's Entrep Talk at the MBA Standard Class - Athletes as Role Model

Mr Rommel Mina, guest of Mark Salvador had banking as his past experience.  But is now the CEO of a company marketing lubricants.  Unlike other guests, Mr. Mina lectured on basics of entrepreneurship and he has 5 advice:

1. Attitude  - visioning, success and courage

2. Plan

3.Discipline on execution

4. Improve learn and improve

5.  Value relationships.

Some of the athletes mentioned:   Michael Phelps - who won 8 gold medals in swimming, one more than Mark Spitz who had 7.  "  You can't put a limit on anything..."

Lance Armstrong - who won 7 Tour de France despite having testicular cancer

Usain Bolt - A Jamaican, the fastest man on earth.  He ran 9.58 l00 meter dasth, destroying the old record he set.

Athletes make superb ROLE MODELS.  Because they are goal and mission oriented; so with military men.

Some quotes:

1.  Start before actually doing it.

2. We are enjoying shade because someone planted a tree before (Warren Buffet)

3  People rarely succeed unless they have fun doing what they do  (Dale Carnegie)

4.  From a movie starred by Al Pacino  " Life is won in inches..."

5.  "I have often encountered violent objection from mediocre minds...."

Thank you sir Rommel who is actually a townmate from Angono, Rizal

Comments on Business Plan Writng

Please take note that Business Plan writing constitute a large portion of the entrep studes grades.  Much honor is at stake because all BP become entries to the Larry Farrell's Business Plan writing competion.

Some suggestions:
l.  Please read Dr. Ed Morato's book on Trilogy of Entrepreneurship.  Better still, buy the book please.
2.  Please read very well my write up on the syllabus how to write a business plan.
3.  Please view my ppt. on business plan writing at slideshare.  Go to www. slideshare.profjorge-entrep

Other comments:
l.  Complete the business concept/model/offering very well.  We spent a lot of time on business model.  Your BM is your business dashboard. On the offering, it summarizes the financial results like ROI which should convince your financier or investor put money in you business/plan

2.  Complete the VMOKRAPI.  Read my notes on the subject matter, especially the SMART objectives, 4 groups of objectives., the KRA, and the PI

3.  Your business concept and vision should be compelling.

4   Compelling means your business should be tomorrow's headline.  It should be unique and mesmerizing

5.   Complete sales estimate from your opportunity seeking, screening, and micromarket analysis/

6.  Input your knowledge and your experience with group activities on product concept and design re:  nu l2 and creative exercises.

7.  EDS and financial must be well written, complete.

Motivation as an Entrepreneur

A number of reasons were forwarded by several entrep guests in the last two weeks:

l.  Making other peoples lives better;
At the start, it would be making a name for yourself or making more wealth and money.  But beyond that according to Melvin Nacional and Antonio Tiu of ANI, it is about making other peoples lives better.  How to make more satisfied and happy customers. more skillful employees, more taxes for the government, etc.

2. Deprivation imposed by parents
Atty Bong Suntay says he owes it to his father, not to have given him everything that he wants in life; maybe just what he needs.  Although he did not get a nice car while studying in DLSU, he was given a beat up a Toyota Corolla, did not get gas and repair allowance.  But he was sent to Samson Tech school.  So now, he has the most number of taxi under the name Basic, and drives a Lombarghini.  Can you beat that.?

3.  I was fired
This, was according to Ms Monette Iturralde-Hamlin motivated her to organize what is now Team Asia, a powerhouse in marketing and other management consulting in Asia. She was fired at what was then World Executive Digest, when it was bought.


4.  I do not want to be an apprentice anymore, I dont want to do menial tasks anymore
According to Capt. Roberto Neri, he could not stand anymore being yelled at or do menial task in the ship.So he struggled to be a captain which he did.  However, while working for somebody else, the company he was working in was sequestered.  He could not stand the slow decision making and the hordes of PCGG comptrollers  So he quit and put up his own.

We are All Wealthy But Pretending not to Be

Mr. Roberto Neri, who owns martime crewing, port services, school: a compleat entrepreneur advised the entrep students last night in their last day of class, that they are all wealthy, pretending not to be.... Hmmm

We are all wealthy because:
l.  We have our family.  Our family is our number one wealth.
2. We have time -  TIME IS GOLD
3.  Health is wealth.

And yet through out our lives, we pretend we are poor.

Mr. Neri a former ship captain, and who is an MBA, like this blogger prefers to teach entrepreneurship via stories rather than by lectures.

Feeding the Fish

One of the key ideas in social entrepreneurship (vs mendicancy) is not just to give man fish but to teach man how to fish. In this blog, at the bottom, there is a fish a aquarium with l0 fishes.  No need to buy an aquarium tank.
You can feed them by clicking the mouse.  Watch if they grow.

To relax you.  Maybe you can revolutionize the fishing industry.

Enjoy.

20th anniversary of Mt. Pinatubo Eruption

Yesterday, they said it was a holiday at Pampanga (or just Angeles City?) to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Mt. Pinatubo eruption.  Yes it was 2 pm at VAB Relief Operations Center as PAF reservist at Villamor Airbase (where NAIA 3 now stands) and the skies turned dark. Many thought, as I did, that it was end of the world!? It also rained and it rained sand.

Looking back I made a speech in the class saying it was a classic case of Ji-Wei, opportunity in crisis. Yes, at the time, after the Pinatubo explosion, the lives of people of Tarlac, Pampanga, and Zambales were never the same.

At the same time we should not forget the benefits from the crisis:

l.  Pampanga got bounty of lahar and white sand (they have collected zillions in quarry fees from lahar and white sand;
2. More fertile soil for farming;
3.More infra projects (benefits for contractors)
4, Pampanga planners had a clean slate for a development plan.
5.  Livelihood for tourism from Mt Pinatubo tours:   trekking and plane rides

There were more benefits from the explosion.  The dust that circled the globe for years shielded the earth UV rays and reduced global temperatures a little bit.

What Drives You?

Mr. Antonio Tiu, CEO of ANI, and Mr. Melvin Nacional of Matchstick share the same idea of motivation of entrepreneurs:

l.  Yes first its about making money for yourself and making a name for yourself.

2.  But beyond that it is all about making the lives of other people better:

your employees; wiill they have enough tools and capacity to do their jobs better. Will they become better persons.

your supppliers, customers.  will your business make their lives more convenient, will you save them money; will they become richer.   It is being a man for others at its best.




Entrep Classes at AGSB Clark




New Product Ideas by Clark Agsb Students

We only have l0 entrep students at Clark AGSB.  But we have been getting high quality assignments, discussions and presentations from them.  What we lack in quantity, we have quality.

We were at the portion of creative group activities:   design and protyping.  The products were:   new concept in giving business opportunities for reseller of meat products; gummy gel candies and cookies for a certain medicinal herb. And the last one was potato chips in rich chocolate coating. 

Wow, I will get fat and have diabetes listening observing these  product presentations.

I believe entrep course should focus more on this acttvity:  creating products and designing it.  When you have a product idea and prototype, the next steps and creating business plan would seem easier.

How I wish they would push through with their plans

The future of business would be in the design and creativity.. Business skills are needed yes, but we lack creating new products.



Being a Public Servant

The Mayor of Angono said that the real job of public official is to be a Chief Janitor in the case of a mayor.  It is practicing servant leadership.

It is a question I asked Councilor Bong Suntay, owner of  Basic Taxi, Clean Fuel, an emerging player in the energy market.  Although he helped a lot of drivers and many people find gainful employment, still he ran for councilorin Quezon City.  I asked why still do that?  Mr. Antonio Tiu of ANI said the government has ran of options/solutions regarding our country's socialal and economic problems.  So why still do it

PI in Passion

There were two guest entreps who gave a new meaning to PI in KRAPI.  We ordinarily understand it to be Performance Indicator.  But for them it is something else.  What else would describe their passion in things that they love to do, and desire to act.  P......na.  Gawin na natin yan.  Can anybody beat that.?

Be a Proud Pinoy

This coming June l2, we celebrate the Independence Day.  Let us proudly fly the Philippine flag.  Let us be proud Pinoy.

But above all let us support Phiilippine made products and entrepreneurs.  Buy Philippine made products.

Let us dedicate to solving our problems.  Let us not leave our country and settle permanently elsewhere.

Let us not ridicule nor "lait" our leaders and other country men who are trying to solve or problems

Let there be more entrepreneurs

ANI, "From Farm to Plate"

Our guest entrepreneur at the Middle Management Program last Monday June 6 was Mr. Antonio Tony Tiu, chairman CEO AgriNurture Inc.  ANI which is tagalog word for ANI, has for its mission statement, "from farm to plate"  ANI makes over a million sales annually.Tony who is a DLSU graduate, and MPA from UP (he also holds masters degree in intl finance in Australia, started out with the humbling job of liquidation sales of about to be folded up post harvest equipment business. They did so well selling the equipment, that instead of folding up, they decided to continue the business, the precursor of ANI.

ANI markets under the brand name FCA and sells and distributes fresh fruits and vegetables to wet markets and SM, exports fruits to all parts of the world most especially China.  They did well after the Japan radioactive scare.  But ANI thrives on a business model that balances the desire of producers to get more value for their produce and for consumers to pay less. Farmers in China get 90% value for their produce, 65% in Japan in Korea, and only 45% in the produce.  Why is this so in the Phil?  There is so much loss post harvest (40% and so much meddling from middlemen and even from those who serve and protect along the highway-  the kotong cops.  ANI has been able to reduce post harvest losses to l5% - quite an achievement.

Some of their products:   fresh fruits and vegetables tamarind, fresh buko juice hybrid rice, brown rice

Listings:   PSE (they are the only  publicly listed agricultural company at PSE and Australia stock exchange

Some key points from Tony:

l. Be motivated by your sense of Mission.  Its not about anymore about making money for yourself, but for the farmers and food security.

2.  Food security will be a great problem which the government must address now.  We will have a rice shortage.

3 Mindanao holds a lot of promise for food production and and processing.  The peace and order situation must be addressed however.

4.  The government does not have all the answer, or must have run out of strategy to solve poverty and other problems of the country. The private sector and the entrepreneurs can.  The entrepreneurs are the answer to our problems (Dr. Ciel Habito shares the same view in his economic briefing Eagle Watch the following day.

5.  Inventory planning for fresh produce:  You maintain a database of what sells and what does not sell.  You deliver to the outlet what sells.  Period

6.  An enterprise constantly creates value by reducing costs, no matter how small, and finding new uses for its products/facilities.

7.  ANI thinks global and is doing global business now.  They do not have enough resources to cover all of China.  They can serve only coastal cities

8,  If you help/serve the farmers, you help l/3 of the total Philippine population and another 1/3 indirectlly.

9.  The problem of farmers is access to credit.  That is why they have Agricultural Bank of the Phil which lends farm inputs instead of money to the farmers.

One of the truly amazing entrepreneurs I have met.  With a deep sense of social responsibility.  A man with a burning mission Who has touched many lives.  We need more like him

Entrepreneurs: Born, Made or Accidental

It is a question just like chicken or egg.  Which comes first? I always introduce the subject of entrepreneurship with a debate.  And the results have been fascinating;  the debate accelerates the learning process and makes the student more interested in the subject. As the class goes on, the question always comes up:  are entrepreneurs, born made or result or pure luck. 

Yes, you may say all of them.  But which one is more important than the others?

The Present Phil. Govt Supports/Does not Support Entrepreneurship?

We are fortunate to have as one of our students the executive assistant of SB Corporation, a govt financial institution under the umbrella of Department of Trade and Industry.  Its mandate includes financial inputs, marketing and the like to assist starts and other msme launch their businesses.  It is just one part of total package of assistance to entrepreneurs:   product design,  trade fair and exhibition, export promotion.  Then there is quasi public movement:  Go Negosyo. The connection at SB Corp is a great resource to the present and past entrep students at AGSB to obtain financing, if financing is the stumbling block to the next big thing.

But SB, which does an extensive risk asset analysis, requires a business plan(so better learn business plan writing skills NOW!)  (I hinted if SB can sponsor a business plan writing competition at AGSB.

There is a also that the other side of govt action that seem to block if not hinder growth of entrepreneurship:
 delays, bureaucracy, corruption.

Yet despite these, TA (total activity for entrepreneurship) as ranked by GEM (Global Entrepreneurship Monitor) ranks Phil 2nd in the world.  First is Peru.
