That lightbulb moment when you get a business idea can be so viscerally exciting that you have visions of success, stability, and all of your dreams coming true. But soon after, reality sets in and we realize we cannot give ourselves completely to it because we’ve got other more important things that need our attention, like our children. But this is where we have to think about setting up a business in the round and making it smoother and simpler. Here are some approaches to consider:
When we start out, we feel like we need to give a huge amount of consideration to every finite component. Lots of people labor for days if not weeks over a business name. But instead, you can almost outsource this by using a business name generator so you can actually pay attention to the real things that matter. We have to remember the Pareto principle, where 80% of the outcomes come from 20% of the effort. You need to think about those big things that will really matter a year or five years down the line, the rest will almost sort itself out.
One of the more common misconceptions about graduating with a Business Administration degree that many young students have is that the course narrows down their career options. Although many Business Administration students do take the typical positions in multinational companies, the truth is that the course is very diverse. In fact, the skills Business Administration students develop during their time in college actually allows them to apply for many different positions across various industries. With that in mind, here are a few careers you can pursue after you study Business Administration in college:
If you are excited by the prospects of marketing sporting events, analyzing album sales or even financing a movie, your business degree will surely come in handy. According to experts, in these industries, there is a need for business-trained individuals who can perform rigorous analysis of what types of products and services consumers want to purchase. Alternatively, an MBA in business can also provide greater job versatility and help develop your alumni network with business connections if you have your eye on a particular company or field.
Since the start of COVID-19 pandemic, many people has become health conscious and are pursuing a healthier lifestyle. In achieving and maintaining a healthy body, people are making efforts in different kinds of activities like home exercises or workouts, consuming healthiest foods such as fruits and vegetables in their daily diet and some are limiting or restricting calorie intake to feel healthier and stay in good shape.
What is calorie restriction and how does it work?
Calorie restriction is an eating pattern – different from a fasting diet. To do this, you must consistently reduce the daily intake of calories. The same with fasting, calorie restriction can help with weight loss, but according to the National Institute for Health in the USA, doing this kind of eating pattern doesn’t mean you have to skip meals or food deprivation. Instead, you just need to be mindful of what to eat. Continue reading
Educational attainment is considered as one of the most powerful tools and a stepping stone in achieving one’s goal to land into a white-collar job. However, for some choosing a career is not that easy. There are so many things to consider such as field of interest, financial incapacity and others. To support the educational needs of Filipinos, the Philippine Government provides Technical-Vocational Education. It is a kind of education where you can learn, enhance practical skills and knowledge that will be of help in employment.
Technical-vocational education in the Philippines has always been an unpopular choice among high school graduates because it is perceived that getting a technical-vocational education is not glamorous as there is no prestige, no recognition, no job security and no professional status in working in the technical-vocational field. In short, having a technical-vocational background is considered inferior compared to a university degree and only the ‘bobo’ enroll in these courses.
Tech-voc professionals should be regarded as graduates with equal opportunity, job security, professional status, and recognition to our society that professionals of 4- year higher education programs enjoy.
This kind of notion should be eradicated because “Hindi bobo ang Pinoy technical-vocational graduates.” If our technical-vocational institutes (TVI) are managed and monitored well, they will be able to produce world-class and skilled graduates who can compete strongly against our neighboring countries. Tech-voc graduates fill an important role in different industries in the country and overseas. And if our tech-voc graduates become job-ready and globally competitive, they could contribute a lot to the national income and economic. One industry that is in dire need of skills and various technical knowhow is the service industry, and we are talking worldwide here, what a big void to fill!
Highly-industrialized countries like Japan, Singapore, and Korea have made necessary advancements in their educational system, focusing on academic excellence and technological innovation. These progressive countries teach their citizens to become productive, income-generating and contribute to the national coffers. They put emphasis on the quality of products and service and really invested in technical training. These countries believe in the strength of their manpower and their role in the national economy.
According to Tony Galvez, President of Technical and Vocational Schools and Associations in the Philippines or TEVSAPHIL-National and an expert in the technical and vocational education and training industry in the country:
“Philippine TVET ang pag-asa para sa kinabukasan ng mamamayan at ng bayan, kung maayos at maganda ang programa.” Continue reading
