Revealing and sharing some secrets.

Beyond just shipment and cargoes, shipping containers can be used as high-tech server solutions.

I played around and discover the immense versatility of shipping containers. This detailed schematic reveals how these robust units are repurposed as modular data centers. I draw the plan on a sketch-up program, just sketching around as if nothing is important, then I put it in prototype stage, until I sell it to clients. This inherent structure is perfectly adapted to house server racks, integrate advanced liquid cooling systems, and manage precise airflow for optimal performance. An innovative use case highlighting container efficiency for critical IT infrastructure.

This is a much cost-effective solution that what I learned in standards of data centers.

MultiLevelGarage

A friend of mine requested to me to search for an elevated garage (parking) for his already tight home. I was thinking about my previous venture on a successful display center - more like a mini car wash shop but dedicated as a show room for a luxury vehicle that rented the place like a five star hotel.

Being in the third world country with corrupt government it is common to have laws that are non existent - people will always follow by example. It is tolerated before to build a house or a business establishment without having a parking lot, the result was a lot of people park their cars outside causing a permanent traffic. Then a law was pass to disallow building of commercial building without space for parking, I saw this as a huge opportunity.

I had this lot, formerly a junk shop and temporarily I used to rent the space for small stalls - I decided to build a five story automated parking garage. It was modular in design to cater upgrades and since I’m been to both industrial and home automation it is not new for me to designed this kind of system.

Funny though when the plan was submitted to the office of the building official they ask where is the parking space - the representative told them that your looking at it and it was immediately denied. Yes even though it is a parking garage it still need a parking space for employees - the parking garage doesn’t need an office space, everything is done on the mobile app, security is remote, etc.

The acceptance of certain realities doesn’t preclude idealism. It can lead to certain breakthroughs.

I believe one of the ways listening to subliminal programs has helped me is by nurturing my ability to improve in areas I once struggled with. For example, I was never particularly good at social media marketing. In fact, I’ve always preferred interacting with people face-to-face rather than through a screen. However, I’ve noticed a shift in myself—I’ve become more drawn to social media, and now I navigate apps as if I’ve always been familiar with them.

I’ve had a LinkedIn profile for years, mostly because business colleagues recommended it, and I’ve also had Facebook—both personal and multiple business pages. I used to have a page dedicated to my modeling career, but that’s a part of my past now.

I also have a girlfriend who is very traditional—she’s the kind of person who values simplicity and authenticity. She’s a natural beauty, and one thing I appreciate about her is that she believes in letting things flow naturally in relationships. I don’t tend to end things with women; I prefer to let them make that decision. Recently, she shared with me her struggle of trying to compete in the business world. She was using her personal Facebook account to market her flower business, but it just wasn’t working.

I started observing myself closely. I realized that even though I had a book about Facebook marketing lying around, I never bothered to read it. Yet, I found myself creating a dedicated business page for her flower shop. I’ve known Photoshop, Illustrator, and CorelDraw since I was in elementary school, so I designed a logo for her and set up additional social media accounts like WhatsApp and Instagram. It was strange for me to be so involved with social media since I used to dislike it, but I was doing it without thinking.

My girlfriend loves taking pictures of the flowers she sells, so I suggested she post them on her Instagram. It turned out, her beauty and Instagram-worthy photos helped draw attention, but she also has an excellent knowledge of flowers and how to choose the right ones for any occasion. However, she struggled with logistics, and that’s where I stepped in. Together, we started working to grow her business.

We didn’t follow all the rules of social media marketing. In fact, we probably broke a few by posting as frequently as we could. But the results were astounding—within a week, we gained 200K followers, and her Instagram following tripled. Of course, we soon realized that followers don’t always translate to sales immediately.

To further streamline the process, I built her an e-commerce website to handle orders. This gave her business more structure and helped convert interest into actual sales.

Things went well, but then, one day, she called me during a crucial meeting, sounding urgent. She couldn’t keep up with the orders. I joked that I’d be the one delivering the goods myself, but she wasn’t amused. I then suggested something fairly obvious—she needed to hire some help to delegate tasks.

From this experience, I learned several valuable lessons: First, we can drive sales by simply telling people what we’re doing. A genuine, positive attitude can attract more customers. Engaging with people, rather than trying to do everything ourselves, is key to growing a business. It’s been a process of personal growth for both of us, and I’m excited to see where this journey takes us.

Some people have a funny sense of humor. I, for one, prefer walking to the grocery store for refreshments, even though my company has plenty of them. From my own experience, stepping outside and exposing oneself to the world presents countless opportunities.

So, one day, I bought a biscuit and a pineapple juice drink and sat down next to a man who was already there. He cracked a few jokes and laughed loudly, but I didn’t join in. I think he noticed, and it seemed like he wanted to keep the conversation going. He turned to me and asked, “If you were given a choice in life, what would it be, assuming everything else failed?”

I paused, unsure of how to answer. I didn’t think too much about it because, honestly, I expected him to just laugh at whatever I said. But I told him, “I’m not the type to give up. I just keep going until the sun sets, and when it rises again, I start another day.”

He looked at me, unsatisfied, and said, “No, that’s not what I mean. I know you well since you were a kid, and I’m not happy with your answer.”

I was curious now, so I asked, “Alright, then tell me—if you were me, what would you choose?”

He replied:

“I’d invest in stocks.” (I had to admit, that might actually make sense—this guy, a bit of a drunkard, seemed to know something about that.)

“If that fails,” he said, “I’d hit the casino and gamble. Maybe I’d get lucky.”

I raised an eyebrow. “So, you’d gamble everything?”

He grinned, “Yeah, maybe I’d get lucky.”

“Okay, but if that fails?” I asked, half-expecting what was coming next.

“Well,” he continued, “I’d marry a sugar mommy.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “With your age, would that even be possible?”

“Oh, age doesn’t matter nowadays,” he said with a wink. “What matters is comfort.”

I shook my head, laughing. “I see… So what’s your next step?”

“If all else fails,” he said, “I’d try my luck in the drug business. Maybe I’ll become a drug lord someday.”

I wasn’t surprised. I knew this guy well enough to know he wasn’t exactly making the best life choices.

The thing is, when people get desperate, they often look for quick fixes—things that seem like solutions but only bring them right back to where they started. It’s the same cycle over and over again.

As for me, I believe there’s a secret to getting ahead in life. You can’t reach higher frequencies without putting in the effort—though it’s not about working harder, but about trying. It’s crucial to keep pushing forward.

And here’s another truth: you can’t get rich alone. To make it to the top, you need to harness a lot of energy—like a rocket ship. That’s why I’m passionate about philanthropy. I never worry about running out of energy because I’ve built up reserves. I can keep doing what I love, without constantly stressing about the expenses or doubts that come my way.

Affiliate Marketing

While hitching a ride in one of my company’s EV service vehicles, the driver struck up a conversation. He asked me, “How can you gain a lot through affiliate marketing?”

I paused, caught off guard. Truthfully, I had no idea how affiliate marketing worked. So, I quickly searched for answers on my phone.

Affiliate marketers earn commissions when someone purchases a product using their referral link. A niche blog or YouTube channel generating 500–1,000 daily visitors could potentially make a decent monthly income if monetized properly.

For example, a blog recommending financial tools might earn $50 per conversion, requiring around 20 signups per month to generate steady income. While the process requires time and effort to build an audience, income can scale passively once established.

I shared my findings with the employee, but his reaction was far from enthusiastic—he didn’t look happy. Maybe my answer wasn’t what he was hoping to hear.

Later, I consulted my AI assistant, who pointed out something interesting—my unique personality. I asked, “What does that have to do with marketing?”

He highlighted two words: referral and influence. The success of affiliate marketing depends heavily on who is referring the product and how much influence they have.

That made me think—since I’m naturally influential, anything I recommend should work, right?

With that logic, I picked a random product—a kitchen item that wasn’t exactly essential—and posted it on my social media (which, by the way, has restrictions). I included the affiliate link and casually called one of my girlfriends, asking her to click on the link I shared.

She hesitated. “Why?” she asked.

I simply told her, “So I can earn money.”

She laughed. “That’s not how it works,” she said, urging me to research further. But I wasn’t interested in learning—I just wanted to have fun.

Then, I had a wild idea. On my post, I wrote, “Please click and buy from this link because I need money—badly!” and threw in every emoji I could find.

A few moments later…

The assistant was right. Who refers a product to the world does make all the difference.

A real estate syndicate is a partnership where investors pool their money to buy and manage properties. Typically, a sponsor (sometimes called a syndicator) scouts for prospects, raises capital, and manages the assets, while passive investors deliver much of the equity for the syndicate. Investing in property through syndication allows you to get in on deals that may otherwise be inaccessible. Syndicates can be a more hands-off investment, with professionals overseeing the day-to-day management.

There are risks in Real Estate Syndication.
Syndication can offer passive income, diversification, and access to larger deals — but they aren’t risk-free - as I learned it was full of problems, there not for the faint of heart.

There are three major things to consider.

Operator risk + If the sponsor doesn’t have a track record, your investment could suffer — no matter how good the property looks.

Market risk + Even strong assets can under-perform in the wrong cycle or location.

Deal structure risk + Some terms are designed to benefit the sponsor, not the investor.
These aren’t reasons to avoid syndication — they’re reasons to get educated.

REITs, or Real Estate Investment Trusts, are companies that own, operate, or finance income-producing real estate. They allow investors to participate in the real estate market without directly owning or managing properties. REITs typically own a variety of property types, including office buildings, shopping malls, apartments, hotels, and more.

REIT investment starts in 2020

Which is the better investment - Rental Property or REIT?

This boils down to the annual yield.

Yield - in simple terms, yield is your annual income (rent or dividends) divided by the total cost of your investment. It helps you compare income-generating assets apples-to-apples.

Example:
Let’s say you build a rental property worth 5,000,000 and rent it out for 20,000/month.

That gives you:
240,000 per year / 5,000,000 = 4.8% annual gross yield

Now, let’s say you invest the same 5,000,000 in Ayala REIT (AREIT):
At an average 6.5% gross yield, you get around:
325,000 per year or ~ 75,000 every quarter in dividends.

Rental Property - Pros and Cons

Pros:

Tangible Asset – You own real property with potential long-term appreciation.
Control – You decide on pricing, tenants, and improvements.
Leverage – Banks are more likely to finance property investments.

Cons:

Vacancy Risk – One bad month with no tenant = 0% yield.
High Maintenance – Repairs, taxes, and tenant management eat into your profits.
Illiquidity – Takes months to sell or access your money.

REITs - Pros and Cons

Pros:

Passive Income – No need to manage tenants or fix toilets.
Liquidity – Buy or sell anytime on the PSE.
Diversification – Own a share of multiple buildings with a single investment.

Cons:

Market Volatility – REIT prices fluctuate just like stocks.
No Direct Control – You rely on management to run the properties.
Subject to Withholding Tax – Dividends are taxed before they reach you.

Bottom line?

If you want hands-free, higher-yielding, and more liquid real estate exposure, REITs may make more sense.

But if you prefer control, leverage, and potential appreciation, rentals might be your play.
Know your yield. Know your style.

To Win Big, then Take Big Risks.

If we always try to be “realistic” — playing it safe, setting small goals, avoiding big risks — we’ll likely never become wealthy.

People who get rich often ignore what’s realistic and chase what seems impossible — and that’s how they break out of the cycle of being average or poor.

I have noticed this to billionaires like Bill Gates, Elon Musk - they are very curious.

The difference between the poor and the rich lies in how they use money. When the poor come into money, they often spend it on unnecessary things, indulging in consumption. The rich, on the other hand, tend to invest their money, either to acquire more assets or to turn ideas into profitable ventures.

The rich aren’t afraid to borrow money and invest it wisely, seeing it as a tool to create more wealth. Personally, I haven’t mastered this mindset yet.

In times of crisis, the poor struggle and often lose everything, while the rich recognize bad times as the best opportunities to build and expand their wealth.

The person who wins in life isn’t the one with the highest paycheck or have lots of sales.

It’s the one with the highest control over their time.

The belief that a college degree guarantees a high-paying job is one of the biggest misconceptions. I’ve seen countless honor graduates who either can’t find a job or end up in careers completely unrelated to their degrees. Often, this happens because they think there are no opportunities available to them.

The truth is, what’s holding us back from success isn’t the economy or a lack of money—it’s us. When I’ve asked older generations what they believe is the key to success, they always tell me, “You need to WORK HARD.”

I heard this joke about Chinese people why they had small eyes its because they never sleeps, they keep on working and they only stop when work is done.

The truth is when we have this wealth mindset, no matter how broke we are we always find a way to create an opportunity.

I believe why some people choose just ‘sales’ over having a business. The same way why I still keep my own engineering company and why not build a business empire.

In business school while providing a strong foundation in business principles, likely won’t teach you the practical, real-world nuances of “reading people,” “creating impressions,” or “taking the edge” in negotiations. It also might not cover the specific skills related to “timing,” “marketability,” or the art of “getting things done” in diverse and dynamic environments.

I think why some of the stages of EoG are not meant for everyone.

Business isn’t for everyone.

They are intended for the crazy one, like me. Because this requires a level of consistency that seems too wild for everyone else.

It requires a willingness to keep going when there’s no applause - if you’re the type who gets intimidated when no one praise you then this isn’t for you.

Here we do the same tasks, the same routine, the same habit, over and over again. We do it just to make it 1% better.

Doing the same procedure not because it’s broken, but because it could be better.

Writing it down for xxx days to improve the system, not because it failed, but because it could run smoother.

Everyone wants to scale, but few are willing to do systematic way of doing things.

Everyone wants momentum, but no one wants the repetition.

In business it doesn’t reward potential. It rewards proof.

Build or doing the same old routine. It’s build by showing up every day, when most people would have quit a long time ago.

Now understand why some people just wanted to be in sales - run errands and taking orders from their boss.

This is my primary reason why I never prefer fame over wealth.

A high income combined with no desire to impress anyone is a powerful formula for building wealth because it aligns two key forces: earning power and discipline. Here’s why this combination is so potent:

As Morgan Housel says in The Psychology of Money, “Spending money to show people how much money you have is the fastest way to have less money.”

True wealth is invisible—it’s savings, investments, and freedom—not flashy consumption.

When we’re not chasing status, weu’re less likely to be manipulated by advertising or peer pressure.

This gives us the mental clarity and emotional stability to stick to our financial plan.

People driven to impress often make short-term decisions: buying things they can’t afford, taking on unnecessary debt, or chasing status.

Those who don’t care about appearances can focus on long-term goals like financial independence, early retirement, or generational wealth.

If we don’t feel the need to signal success (fancy cars, designer clothes, expensive vacations), we’re far less likely to overspend.

We keep our expenses low relative to our income, which increases our savings rate dramatically.

This means more money can go into investments, savings, or building businesses—the actual engines of wealth creation.

A high income gives me the raw material for wealth-building: cash.

It allows me larger investments, faster debt payoff, and greater financial flexibility.

Many people earn high incomes but still struggle financially because their spending grows with their income—a phenomenon called lifestyle inflation.

Spend Money to Make More Money.

Pricing can be customized based on perceived customer willingness to pay. Very effective no wonder they do - it was intentionally done for a good reason. The psychology of pricing refers to how consumers perceive prices and how these perceptions influence their purchasing decisions. It combines elements of behavioral economics, marketing, and cognitive psychology to understand and influence buying behavior.

Known as left-digit bias, people tend to focus more on the left-most digit.

When presented with a high initial price (anchor), other prices seem more reasonable by comparison. It is always a good thing to have competition - I attended a rummage sale to raise funds for a cause and a friend asked me about pricing - I put a same item side by side but I raise the price of the other - there are people who saw what I did and made a choice to buy the more expensive one.

Price Perception & Framing, “Only $1 a day” vs. “$365 per year” — the former feels more affordable.

And a lot more.

I learned these ideas from a marketing discussion with women.

Alright I have empty warehouses - what I did was to divide them into small spaces and rent them like ‘cheaper ones’ - and it click. People don’t like to rent big warehouses because the rent was scary but shrinking them makes people think they are cheap.

Most creators focus on going viral. The smart ones focus on the niche.

This truth about the noise-driven world of content creation. And it’s not just a catchy contrast — it’s a strategic divide that separates short-term fame from long-term relevance.

In a digital age saturated with fleeting attention, dopamine-driven metrics, and an algorithm that rewards spectacle over substance, it’s easy to get caught up in the chase:

Go viral.
Hit 1 million views.
Get featured on the “For You” page.
Trend on Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts.

Every day, creators flood their timelines with bait for the algorithm gods — flashy headlines, controversial takes, over-edited skits, emotional hooks, and trend jacking. And when it works, it feels like magic. The views spike, the followers roll in, the dopamine hits. Success, right?

But here’s the hidden cost:

Virality is not a strategy. It’s a moment.

The Trap of the Viral Chase

What happens the day after you go viral?

More often than not, nothing. Maybe you gained followers — but how many of them actually know who you are? How many will return for your next post? How many care about your voice or your values? For most creators, virality is a sugar rush: addictive, exhilarating, but ultimately empty without a deeper connection behind it.

Because viral content is often lowest common denominator content. It’s designed to reach everyone — which usually means it connects deeply with no one.

This is where smart creators make a different move entirely.

Smart Creators Play the Long Game

Smart creators don’t try to be everything to everyone.
They don’t chase mass approval.
They don’t optimize for popularity — they optimize for alignment.

They focus on a niche.

Why? Because a niche isn’t a limitation — it’s a strategy. It’s how you find your people. Your true audience. The ones who see you and say, “Finally — someone who gets it.”

And here’s the secret: Niche audiences are the most powerful kind.

They’re loyal.
They trust you.
They engage deeply.
They tell others.
They buy from you.
They stick around when the trends change — because they’re here for the relationship, not the spectacle.

What Does “Niche” Really Mean?

When people hear “niche,” they often think small. That’s a mistake.

Niche doesn’t mean fewer people. It means more meaningful people. It means defining your unique angle, your unique voice, your unique worldview — and showing up consistently with value for the people who resonate with it.

Your niche could be:

“First-generation immigrants learning to navigate corporate America”
“Moms who home school and run small businesses”
“Artists breaking into the NFT scene without a tech background”
“Introverted entrepreneurs learning to build personal brands”
“Men over 40 recovering from divorce and rebuilding confidence”

Each of these niches may seem specific, even narrow — but each has millions of people inside it who are starving for content that speaks directly to them. Not content for “everyone.” Content for them.

Virality Can Be a Byproduct — Not the Goal

Here’s the twist: smart niche creators do go viral — but for the right reasons.

They go viral when their message hits so hard with their core audience that it spills over. Not because they tried to bait the algorithm, but because they hit a nerve, told the truth, or captured something real and specific that others were too afraid to say.

Virality becomes a symptom of clarity — not a replacement for it.

Why the Niche Model Wins in the Long Run

Trust > Reach
A 10,000 follower niche account can outperform a 100,000 follower viral account in both engagement and revenue — because trust converts.
Sustainable Growth
Niche content builds momentum. Your audience knows what to expect and becomes your marketing machine.
Positioning Power
The more specific your focus, the easier it is for people to recommend you. “You should follow this person — they talk about exactly what we’re going through.”
Creative Clarity
You’re not constantly guessing what to post next. Your niche gives you a lane. It frees you to dive deeper rather than spread yourself thin.
Business Alignment
Selling products, courses, coaching, books, merch — all of it becomes easier when your audience has a clear problem you’re helping them solve.

How to Find and Build Your Niche

Start With You
What do you care about that most people overlook? What do you know deeply because you lived it?
Solve a Specific Problem
What pain point are you uniquely positioned to address? What transformation can you guide others through?
Speak Their Language
Don’t water it down. Talk to your niche the way they talk — not how the masses speak.
Create Pillar Content
Build foundational pieces that establish your voice and your values. Let your niche know what you stand for.
Ignore the Noise
Don’t chase trends unless they genuinely align. Your goal is resonance, not reach.

You can spend your whole career trying to go viral. Or you can spend your time building something that matters.

The internet is loud. Trends are fast. Attention is fleeting. But meaning is timeless. If you want to be remembered, if you want to build something real, if you want to create a body of work that lives beyond a moment — focus on your niche.

Serve the few.
Serve them deeply.
And the many will follow.

Mindset Matters: Why the Poor Mindset Waits for Proof, and the Wealthy Mindset Seeks Opportunity

In the journey of personal growth, financial freedom, or any form of success, one of the most powerful yet often overlooked forces is mindset. While resources, talent, and timing all play roles, the fundamental difference between those who thrive and those who remain stuck is not external — it’s internal. It’s in how we think.

One of the clearest ways this shows up is in how people approach opportunity.

A poor mindset always needs proof that something works. A wealthy mindset looks for potential.

The Poor Mindset: Waiting for Permission

A poor mindset isn’t just about lacking money — it’s about lacking belief. It’s a way of thinking grounded in fear, scarcity, and a need for certainty. People with this mindset often wait to see results in others before taking action themselves. They say things like:

“Let’s see if it works for them first.”
“I’ll join when it’s proven.”
“What if I fail?”

This mentality leads to inaction. The person becomes a spectator rather than a participant in their own growth. They spend more time doubting than doing. Even when presented with an opportunity, they hesitate — afraid it might not work, afraid to waste time or money, or afraid of judgment.

This kind of thinking stems from a deep-rooted belief that success is reserved for others — not them. Ironically, this hesitation is often what keeps them exactly where they are.

The Wealthy Mindset: Looking for Possibility

In contrast, a wealthy mindset — and again, this is about perspective, not bank balance — sees opportunity and moves toward it. These individuals don’t wait for guarantees; they understand that nothing in life is certain, but action is always better than paralysis.

They ask different questions:

“What’s the upside if I commit to this?”
“How can I make this work for me?”
“What can I learn even if I fail?”

Rather than needing proof, they trust in their ability to figure things out along the way. They see every opportunity as a doorway to growth, even if it’s not perfect. This mindset fosters creativity, adaptability, and long-term resilience.

Shifting the Mindset

The good news is that mindsets can change. If you find yourself stuck in the “poor mindset,” it doesn’t mean you’re doomed to stay there. Here are a few ways to begin shifting:

Stop waiting for permission – You don’t need someone else’s success story to justify your own journey.
Re-frame failure – Every successful person has failed. The key is to fail forward — to learn and keep going.
Start small, but start – Action builds confidence. Even small steps toward a goal can reshape how you see yourself.
Surround yourself with opportunity-seekers – The company you keep can shift your perspective more than you realize.

The difference between success and stagnation often comes down to this: whether you wait for proof or move toward possibility. A poor mindset fears risk and seeks reassurance. A wealthy mindset embraces growth and creates opportunity.

Wherever you are today, remember — your mindset is not fixed. Change your thoughts, and you’ll start to change your outcomes.
