Healthy options as new businesses

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

Rizal Philippines   | April 30, 2013

In the consultation with Sentrep students for BP, two students proposed healthy options:   one was going to import and resell virgin olive and organic olive oil;  the other one would put up healthy restaurant. When I asked the student on healthy restaurant and asked him on:  water, cookwares and other details of healthy living, he said he had nosebleed.

One thing came out though, that both would need an organic farm as a partner.

It happened that we had a classmate (also now a senior) who has an organic farm in Jalajala Rizal

                                   Organic squash

                                         A dragon fruit farm

The problem of the lady owner are:    lack of sufficient water supply, very intensive (and therefore expensive operations)

The water supply can be solved by having solar power;   the expense level can be solved by having market/buyers connected her.  She needs to pound more on the MVP of her farm:  that it is healthy option and therefore is more expensive than those farms that use pesticides and fertilizers

Are Casinos good for the economy?

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

I just saw a TV feature on Solaire casino that has 500 hotel rooms and many gaming rooms.  Manila will soon surpass Singapore as gaming center.  And this seems to be a good development as it will generate jobs.

However casinos do not create value;  they destroy value.  Even if generates donation for the poor and for the church

What do you think?

Are in you favor of having Philippines as gaming center

Dear Wall Street Daily Nation, A lot of folks are panicking about gold right now... It recently saw its largest drop of the past 30 years... And the price has been all over the place in the last week... But for traders, it offers one of the best opportunities in decades... and could easily make you thousands of dollars over the coming weeks. I'm not talking about touching gold stocks, of course... Or coins or bullion... It turns out there's a rare technique developed in California that could make you gains 3 to 5 times higher on gold this year... over a hundred percent annually. We learned about this approach from a friend of ours... who has generated millions of dollars with it throughout his life - whether the price of gold is up or down. His track record over the past 12 months in gold has been incredible... ** 100% in 8 days on Seabridge Gold ** 145% in 16 days on Barrick Gold ** 135% in 22 days on Gold Fields ** 100% in 22 days on Seabridge (again) ** 100% in 48 hours on Seabridge (again) ** 100% in 24 hours on Gold Miners... and more. To explain how it works, our colleague recently stepped forward for the first time in 26 years and prepared a special presentation... I should warn you: His approach is not for everyone. But if you consider yourself a trader... or you're simply curious about a new way to trade gold... I urge you to see how it works. Click here to learn more.

Former Groupon CEO Andrew Mason was ousted amid concerns over the company's core strategy -- and while Groupon's share price has surged 39% since Mason's departure, it's still unclear whether the daily-deals company can find a sustainable business model.

Sponsored By Why managers shouldn't emasculate themselves Too many managers publicly defer to their superiors on every decision or problem, and that erodes their authority and credibility, writes Michael Ryan. Rather than admitting that you don't feel empowered to act, it's better to say that you need more time to decide, then quietly consult your boss if necessary, Ryan argues. "Managers who repeatedly say that they have to check with their boss are just emasculating themselves," he writes.
