Here are 10 life tips for entrepreneurs and business persons who want to succeed in business, entrepreneurship, and life in its entirety.
1. Share your life.
Share your life so that other people will also share their lives with you. Share your life by sharing your time, happiness, care, love, respect, trust, ideas, knowledge, skills, talent, wealth and other things you have in life.
2. Simplify life.
Life is simple yet it isn’t easy. We have a difficult life, but we are here in this world not to make it more difficult – we are here to simplify it. Simplify your life and the lives of other people, who can be your customers, employees and friends.
3. Don’t just eat bread to live.
Feed not only your physical body, but also feed your heart, mind and spirit. Don’t just eat bread or other material food to live, but also eat knowledge, wisdom, love, and other great virtues that will make your soul healthy.
4. Change your life by changing every part of you.
Develop yourself and your life by improving every part of you. Improve your eyes – how they see things, your tongue – the food it taste, your mouth – its way of talking, your heart – its emotions, your mind – its mindset, your hands – how they work, and every part of you – how they shape your life.
5. Lift your life by being a down to Earth person.
Lift your life by lifting up the lives of other people. You can’t lift the lives of other people by being boastful. You’ve got to be humble.
6. You don’t become what you think; you become what you keep on doing.
Mind will help you come up with great ideas, but it is your consistent actions that will form your life. You don’t become what you are thinking; you become what you keep on doing. If you want to be a successful business person, you have to constantly work for your success, not just constantly think of it.
7. Life is not unfair; it maybe the one who unfairly makes it – you.
Never say that life is unfair. Remember that you are the one who makes it. Do you know someone who did not have any single problem in life? Everyone faces troubles and problems in life. Thus, life is just fair for all of us. If there is someone who’s unfair – it’s the person who misjudges life as unfair.
8. Life is living, and living is a day to day basis.
As long as you are breathing and living, life isn’t final. If you have committed mistakes and have experienced failures in the past, you still have today, tomorrow and the rest of your life to correct those mistakes and transform your failures into success. Value your life by giving value to the days that you have… and will have.
9. To be effective in life, you need to have a cause.
Live with a great cause or mission. Remember that without a cause, your life will be without effect. If you desire for a business or enterprise that is built to last, then you should also have a cause that will last. It should be a great cause that can change the world and can help the humanity.
10. The purpose of your life lies on your Creator.
Know “who you are” by doing meditation or spiritual reflection. Spend more time in digging yourself within and in finding your inner peace. If you want to know “what is your purpose in life”, you have to ask it to the one who created you. Any creator creates something for a purpose. If you don’t know your creator, then you won’t know your purpose.

Hi Vic,
Thanks once again for the information. I am truly a fan. I just discovered your website and here I am devouring and reading your every post. It is very interesting.
I like what you said about sharing your life so that other people will also share their lives with you.
I think Filipino online entrepreneurs should share their knowledge, insights and experience to other Filipinos who are just learning the income potential of becoming an online entrepreneur. First, there is nothing to fear about competition because the market is so big that there is room for everybody else. Second, the income potential is so great that there is no reason for a person not to indulge.
An Internet Marketing expert once said that the real secret to success online is to become insanely generous. The time you are spending just to share this knowledge to others is very notable.
Thank you so much.
