Definitely Some Good News
Filed Under Personal
It’s been several weeks already since I post an update. So I guess you deserve to have some update on what’s happening to me.
I was busy as a bee this month. Jane has just launched her second flagship blog that luckily, is now starting to contribute to her online income. She’s now averaging $8 a day and that’s a pretty good start for the year. Our short-term goal is for her to average $500 a month. Maybe after two or three flagship sites, she’ll be able to achieve that.
As for the business, the main good news is the fact that we were able to finally deliver in Albay. It’s definitely a big relief. I thank and praise God for allowing a safe travel for all the people involved. The proceeds allowed us to pay some of our financiers. Of course, not all but at least, we’ve gained some ground. We’re not yet back on our feet but slowly but surely, we will get there.
Subic is still in limbo but we’re praying that they finally get their finances in order so that they’ll be able to finish their hospital. You see, we’re not just the company who is in trouble. A lot of them, actually. Some of our clients were actually able to pay and that also helped.
There’s a lot of plans for the year. With the move to the new warehouse/store, we will now be able to push through with the plan on putting up a production line for some of the items we sell. Our staffs already have the technical know-how. Items like circular tables and the likes will no longer be outsourced in the near term. The staffs are also now trained for troubleshooting and repairs. My brother and brother-in-law will take care of the production. In addition, a space will be cut-out in the store to give way for the planned internet cafe.
The ground floor of the new site is around 300sqm. That’s huge for a showroom/store so we decided to make use of the space for other purposes. Though we’ll have to shell out some money for those projects, it will help in the bottom line in the future.
You see, my post is kinda light. Not heavy as I had before. I was so down the last quarter of 2007 and thanks to my family and friends who supported me and the rest of my love ones. Brother Bo’s books and posts in his blog have been helpful, too.
That’s it for now, I promise to post some more. There’s a lot in my mind, actually. I just don’t have time to post. And yes, being busy has also helped me ride the storm. God really has some strange way of helping you in times of trouble.
