THE POWER OF AN IDEA

Manny Lumba was the man behind the creation of Jollibee, now a fastfood chain that originated in the Philippines . In 1978, the Tan brothers/family (?) approached him concerning their ice cream parlor which was then making insignificant bottom line. Prior to this, Manny worked for the Philippines office of McCann Erickson, a multi-national advertising company, which counted Unilever, Coca-Cola, Malaysian Airlines, among its accounts. Still before his stint with McCann, he worked as advertising manager with Nestle’s Philippines office with respect to the promotions, advertising, media, merchandising and public relations requirements of such brands as Nescafe, Milo, Nestum, Pelargon, Lactogen, Milkmaid, Alpine, Nestle’s chocolate bars, Nestle’s Thick Cream, etc.

As the first management consultant for the Tan family’s business, Manny invented the brandnames “Jollibee”, "Chickenjoy," "Yumburger," and conceptualized the Jollibee mascot, a bee with human attributes. He won their approval to re-configure and transform their business from an ice cream parlor to a hamburger chain.

Many years ago, Manny was reading his young daughter’s comic books when he conceptualized the Jollibee mascot. Since Manny could not draw, he engaged Jimmy and Oggie of Marc Advertising to flesh out in cartoonized graphics the concept of a bee on his mind. He instructed them in detail how the cartoon character would look---chef’s hat, white gloves, round head, sparkling eyes, red dinner jacket with vest, wings and all. He used the bee in his first Jollibee tv blockbuster commercial which told in animated cartoon of a king who got so sick he couldn’t eat for loss of appetite. When hope seemed all but gone, Jollibee flew into his palace and brought him "yumburger." This brought him back to health to the delight and relief of his subjects. The tv commercial was also Manny’s own original.

Now from humble beginnings, Jollibee has become a multinational company, the number one fastfood chain in the Philippines , beating MacDonalds. Thanks in part to Manny Lumba, for making the initial long term growth and development as well as marketing strategies, including the development and integration of a Jollibee corporate culture, a far cry from the mom-and-pop operation that the company once was.

To this accolade, Manny says “I was a small cog in the Jollibee machine. Tony Tan made it happen. A few years ago, Tony Tan won the much-coveted Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

Ultimately of course, for something as good as this, God must have been behind us more than any one realized.”

It was Karl Marx, the originator of the concept of Communism, who said: "An idea whose time has come cannot be stopped." Also, Albert Einstein said: "If at first your idea doesn't seem absurd, then it has no hope."

Folks, it's all about the idea in your head. We all have ideas, but the problem is we do not put these ideas out, which sends these ideas to naught. Cocacola was just an idea in the beginning. Now, Cocacola is all over the world. I would not be surprised it may now be in the planet Venus. Electricity, which is the greatest invention of all times, was an idea. And Microsoft windows, which made Bill Gates a multi-billionaire, was simply an idea in Bill Gates's head.

SuperMindsSystems was an idea and now many people already know about it and participate in the Saturday Live teleconference call. And SMS will fill the world around. The day will come SMS will be in the planet Mars. Futuristic, hah!

Let your ideas come out and turn into a concept. I think, for me anyway, the greatest concept is religion. Roman Catholicism is definitely more powerful than Communism. Both were concepts.

Don't die without getting your ideas out. Les Brown said, "The richest place in the world is the cemetery. It's there where ideas are buried, books that have not been written lie down dormant, and dreams unfulfilled occupy the entirety of the cemetery."

It's really up to you. Like Manny Lumba, he went to work with his ideas. Filipinos were not a hamburger eating people but he made them eat the yumburger. Manny, as per the Ayudtudized philosophy, "CULTURIZED A CULTURE."

Through my JASE Lectures, I am on the road to culturizing a culture among the youth called the SUPERMINDSSYSTEMS, a group of 17 to 22 years old young people on their way to becoming millionaires before the age of 30.

Be There To Inspire

SUPERMINDSSYSTEMS YOUTH CALL, SATURDAY, AT 10:30PM, 605-990-0700, PIN 847573#. DO SHARE THE NUMBER TO YOUR FRIENDS. BE AN INSPIRER.

BE THERE TO INSPIRE

Needless to say, there are thousands and thousands of opportunities around us whereby our lives can become financially better. There are two kinds of people who will not get involved with an opportunity that will improve their lives. These are the lazy ones and the negative ones. The lazy man will not get involved because it requires work to be better. The negative man will question everything and will never get involved. To the negative, everything is suspect. Even if a thing is real, the negative will not even come near because he doubts the reality of that real thing. The lazy is full of alibi. The negative is full of doubts.

Not everyone will have a better life. But things to make anyone better abounds. The reason why not everyone will have a better life is because not everyone will choose the better life. Everyone wants to be better, but not everyone will do the necessary things to be better. Everyone wants to have more money but not everyone will put forth effort to get the money. Only those people that will choose to be better and choose to do the things that are needed to be better will have a better life.

The problem is not the world nor the government. The problem is the man you see in the mirror. You are the main problem. If you are a complainer that shows that you are the cause of your problem. If you are poor, you too are the cause of your poverty. You may say that you have already done your best to become better in life but up to now you have not yet obtained it. Why you have not obtained it is because there is something that is wrong with you that is preventing you from obtaining what you want. Perhaps you are still lazy. Perhaps you are still negative. You see, if you did everything right and you did it long enough you'd be successful by now.

You need to change yourself. Even if you change place where you live but you don't change yourself, it will still be the same for you. You may change your job but if you do not change yourself, you will still be the same. The problem is not the people around you. The problem is yourself. To cure your situation, you must change yourself first. And changing yourself is not easy. But it is not impossible. You just have to recognize the fact first that you are the problem.

To change yourself start by inspiring others. Make it an effort to inspire others. Develop the discipline to inspire others. Make it an action thing for you. Start your day by inspiring the first person that you see. Tell the person that he or she is good, and that he or she has great potential. I am very sure that if you learn to inspire others, you too will be inspired. Develop this as a habit. Be aware always that you are living your life now as an inspirer. Even if people do wrong things find a way to inject inspiration. Say, "you do the wrong thing now, but tomorrow, with God's help, you will do the right thing." Just praise the person. Look for that part of that person that is praiseworthy.

When you inspire others you will find that you too will be inspired. And if you keep on doing this, you will find that you will be changing to a better person. When you developed this attitude, the next time that you will wait for to happen is timing. You will be surprised some wonderful things will happen to you in the days to come. And your success will simply happen. With a positive attitude, all good things can happen to you.

IS IT BECAUSE YOU JUST WANT TO SURVIVE?

(Note: Do not forget to plug in to the youth call Saturday night, 10:30PM. The number to call is 605-990-0700, and the pin to log in is 847573#. Please invite your friends to tune in. Be a blesser and not just the blessed. Initiate. Put forth effort to inspire others.)

Living in the world is all about survival. In fact, when a relative dies the obituary always reads, "as survived by." All of us living now are survivors. Of course, we survived through our personal trials and tribulations. However, the true question is: "Are we just here for the sake of survival?" No! We're here in the world to live a good life, to live a pleasant life, and to live a life that's filled with love and harmony. Yet, this doesn't come by not doing anything. This doesn't come easy.

There are things to do in life. Once we do the right things we get right results. Big results do not come quickly. To be successful is to do the right things and to be patient while doing the right things. Doing the right things and obtaining a big result in life is quite simple. All you need to do is do what you can do consistently over time. You do not have to do big things to obtain big things in life. You can do small things, little by little, and these build up over time. You must have patience. Patience is truly a virtue. You cannot harvest right away. Whatever you plant you cannot harvest on the following day. Harvest takes time. It comes in due time.

Be sure what you are doing is according to the law of nature. For example, to harvest you must plant first. Be sure that what you are doing now is the right thing. This means that if you want to earn more money in the long run you must do the thing that has the potential to give you more money later on.

If you are only working in a job, do you think that after working in that job for ten years your salary will become doubled or tripled? For example, if you are getting 20$ per hour now, do you see yourself getting paid $50 per hour after working in that same company for ten years?

If you think that your $20 per hour now will only become $30 per hour after ten years, I must tell you that that is not a lot.

That's why working in a job is a poor way of figuring out big success in life. Some jobs mean "just over broke."

What you must do is not to think only of surviving. Working for salary is merely thinking about survival. It's a poor way of living a life. You must get into business. Remember: Profits are better than wages. Wages will make you a living, but profits will make you a fortune. To get profits is to be in business.

People do not know the power of a home-based business because they are ignorant of the concept. Many people frown on network marketing. They do not know what the concept is. They haven't studied what network marketing truly is.

Anyway, you have to make a choice. Do not live a life only in survival mode. You must get into a system that will give you time and money together. And that system is the business system. But traditional businesses require a huge investment. In the home-based business the capital is very minimal.

I suggest that you look into the concept of network marketing. If you do not get into some kind of business, you will always be in a survival mode.

GET INTO THINKING LONG TERM

GET INTO THINKING LONG TERM

True success is long term. The problem is not very many of us think long term. And thinking long term is not just about thinking about it. There is a make up involved, which means that you have to work on it if you want to be able to work on long term success.

I have been talking to a store clerk named Mendis from the corner of our house here in Staten Island, New York. I presented to him a business I am involved with that is done only through network marketing, which we term as relationship marketing. I wanted Mendis to have a one on one meeting with me so that he will get a grasp of the concept. He said, "Yes, Dr. John, I am really interested and I must see the presentation. But I seem not to have any time at all." I simply said, "What you need is to compare what you are doing here in the store with what I am doing. I do not work on a regular job and I make money, and I have been doing this for quite a while now. All you need is understand the concept of network marketing."


You and I need to learn things if we want to have success in life at all. Jim Rohn, a living legend in business philosophies, said: "Learning is the beginning of wealth; learning is the beginning of health; and learning is the beginning of spirituality." You cannot just get into business without learning. And especially the network marketing business, there is a different kind of learning involved. First of all, which is very important, is that you have to know if the company is long term. And the qualification of a long term company depends largely on the owners of that company. If you can get involved in a good networking company, you can plant your feet deep and go to work. The logic is always build long term.

I always tell my students in JASE Lectures, a lecture entity I founded back in the Philippines, "If you do not die in ten years you will live." That is so simple. But the fact behind the simplicity of the statement is deep. What would you do if you live ten years from now? What kind of life will you have at that time? Do you think you will be successful ten years from now if you do not do anything? Of course not.

In all businesses and very especially true with the MLM industry you get many people who will work for you down the road. These people, however, are also working for themselves. In network marketing everyone wants to have a better shot on life. It's very easy for people to get hundreds of downlines down the road. David Bass, my friend who is one of the top leaders of BPI Worldwide, had 50,000 people in the other company that he had business with. 50,000 is no small number. Yet, Ronnie Kirkland, a national consultant of Ambit Energy, had 700,000 customers in Excel Communication. But, look, Michael Kane of ACN has over 2,000,000 customers.

How we rejoice when we already have ten people on our downline. And our rejoicing grows when the ten becomes 1,000. Yes, they build over time. And the magic of thinking long term comes in here. You certainly will not have a thousand people in a month. But you can have that number maybe in two years. It all depends on how fast the people under you work.

What happens to your income if you get 50,000 people like David Bass? Your income will shoot to the roof, so to speak.

Guys, thinking long term is the way to go. But it is not that simple. You have to make it a conviction within you that you want to work a thing and really make it big. Make it a part of your sleeping moments. Make it an activity on your waking moments. Be motivated by the thought. Think of it every moment of the day. Life is built up whether you build it or not. What I mean by this is if you do not do anything your life gets built up old, sick, poor, and nothing. If you do something and work hard long term, you will be able to build a good life ahead of you.

You and I must learn to build long term.
