Five top tips for Marketing Success
by Philip Kotler
1. Come in under the radar
"Building a brand is a roll-out process, not a drop everywhere in the world at one time. Do you know what the best selling imported beer is in the United States? It's Corona. Who would expect a beer from Mexico to be popular? The fact is it's a terrific beer. But they didn't just come to the U.S. and put it everywhere. They went to the cities with a Mexican population -- Los Angeles, Chicago, New York -- and then they put it in restaurants and stores there. The key to brand-building is to have something good that you roll-out in a very intelligent way. Maybe even invisibly for a while because you want to be under the radar screen of competitors."
2. Know your customer
"There are still too many CEOs who identify marketing with selling and advertising. But marketing has evolved to be not only product centered but customer centered. We are saying you've got to understand and choose the customers you want to serve. Don't just go after everyone. Define the target market carefully through segmentation and then really position yourself as different and as superior to that target market. Don't go into that target market if you're not superior.
"We are trying to make the case that it's much more important for a company to be customer-centric than product-centric. The same customer you have for product X, may be available for product Y and Z and so on. And you won't know that if you have separate product managers, each only concerned with selling his or her product."
3. Own your branding
"We are not in a state of competition anymore; we're in a state of hyper-competition. So people are desperately looking for handles -- functional features, emotional appeals -- that will draw people to their product. We should think of owning a word or a phrase that helps to build customer retention and loyalty. Look at how we buy the Mercedes because it's the best engineered car. We buy a BMW because it's the best driving performance. We buy the Volvo because it's the safest automobile. A lot of these companies lose that edge too, but they don't lose the impression."
4. Stay ahead of the competition
"The worst thing is that if something works, your competitors are going to clone it and before you know it anything that you had as a differentiator is imitated by the others. So you're in the business of constant innovation. Constantly asking yourself, 'Three years from now, what will our differentiator be?'
"I had the CEO of a large company approach me and ask me to sign a copy of my book, which I always do, but this was a first edition from 1967. I looked at the book and I said I won't sign it. 'Why not?' he asked. I said, 'That book is from before there was the Internet. It has very little on branding, so I think it's useless.' At which point he said to me, 'Are you trying to sell me a new copy?' And I said, 'Yes, but it's not for my benefit-- I don't need the money." Markets change, so marketing has to change."
5. Make it an experience
"Once in a while we find someone having a whole new approach to a mature market. Starbucks is a very good example where coffee is coffee but they decided to sell it differently, put a higher price, make it good-tasting and make it an experience rather than just some coffee. In fact, I've heard that if Starbucks closed its shops, a lot of people would go crazy. They are in such a habit of going to the Starbucks before work, taking the coffee, and they'd become desperate otherwise.
"There's a big movement to say, 'we're not just adding services to our business and our product, we're actually trying to design an experience.' You'll see that language being used. We're in the experience design business."

Wow Bohol!
Grabe sobrang nice ng experience ko last weekend.. I spend my weekend at Bohol.
Departure from manila - tagbilaran is Friday (8-8-08) 8:00am Arrival is 9:45am
It is one of the best presevered Jesuit build churches in the region, although in the 19th century, the Augustinian Recollects added a modern facade and a number of stone buildings that now surround the church
They are so cute. I think their size is just like our fist close. According to the care taker, they could live up to 25 years. They do not bite but if you attack them they will attack you also. They are also one of our endagered species here in the Philippines. So we must protect them before it's too late.
Departure from manila - tagbilaran is Friday (8-8-08) 8:00am Arrival is 9:45am
NAIA Terminal 3 (Cebu Pacific) - Ang ganda ng bagong airport.. parang sa ibang bansa.. sobrang laki kasi compared to other 2 Airports..
1 st day at Bohol (8-8-08)
Arrival at Tagbiliran City Airport
Our Tour Guide/ Driver pick us up at the Tagbilaran City airport at around 9:45am (Kuya Jun Comodoy - sobrang nice and very )
We had our day tour.

First stop at Blood Compact. (Legazpi and Si Katuna)
With the Statue of of Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna plus the overview of Panglao Island. Breathtaking scenery.
Tagbilaran, specifically the district of Bool, witnessed the forging of the first international treaty of peace and friendship between two nations of different race and creed. On that fateful day of March 16, 1565, Captain General Miguel Lopez de Legaspi of the Spanish expedition and Datu Sikatuna, a native chieftain of Bohol, sealed their friendship in a native ritual, the Blood Compact. As is the native custom at that time, the two sealed their friendship through the shedding of blood wherein both draw two to three drops of blood from their arms, mix the blood with the wine and then equally drank from the cup. Other historians say that the blood-wine mixture was divided equally between the two and then they both drank the contents up to the last drop.

Baclayon Church (2nd oldest Church in the Philippines)
It is one of the best presevered Jesuit build churches in the region, although in the 19th century, the Augustinian Recollects added a modern facade and a number of stone buildings that now surround the church
Only in 1717, Baclayon became a parish, and construction of a new church commenced. Some 200 native forced laborers constructed the church from coral stones, which they took from the sea, cut into square blocks, and piled on to each other. They used bamboo to move and lift the stones in position, and used the white of a million eggs as to cement them together. The current building was completed in 1727. The church obtained a large bell in 1835. In the Baclayon church is a dungeon, which was used to punish natives who violated the rules of the Roman Catholic church.
Next to the church is the old convent, which also houses a small museum with centuries-old religious relics, artifacts and other antiquities, dating back to the 16th century. Included in the collection are an ivory statue of the crucified Christ looking towards heaven; a statue of the Blessed Virgin, said to be presented by Queen Catherine of Aragon; relics of St. Ignatius of Loyola, old gold embroidered ecclesiastical vestments, books with carabao skin covers, and librettos of church music written in Latin on sheep skins. Here you can also find the cuadro paintings made by the Filipino painter Liberato Gatchalian in 1859
We also pass by to Alburquerque Church and Cathedral of San José

The Philippine tarsier, (Tarsius syrichta) is very peculiar small animal. In fact it is one of the smallest known primates, no larger than a adult men's hand. Mostly active at night, it lives on a diet of insects. Folk traditions sometimes has it that tarsiers eat charcoal, but actually they retrieve the insects from (sometimes burned) wood. It can be found in the islands of Samar, Leyte, Bohol, and Mindanao in the Philippines.

Spend all day at the beach. We had our resort accommodation at Dumaluan Beach Resort (this is the nearest resort to Bohol Beach Club)
Super ganda ng Beach most specially at Bohol Beach Club.. panginternational ang service and facilities. Sulit ang entrance fee (consumable pa sya).
The sand is so fine.. Super clear water, hindi rin sya sobrang maalat.
You'll love the place! I love Bohol =)

Improvising Your Approach to Improvement
by Dr. John C. Maxwell
Our well-being and happiness are tied to the notion that our lives can improve. We hope for a better future for our company, our kids, and ourselves. We dream of a tomorrow that's better and brighter than today.
Here are a few improvements many of us desire to see:
We hope to lose weight and improve our fitness
We hope to earn more money and improve our financial standing
We hope to argue less with our spouse and improve our marriage
Over the next year, if we knew our health would deteriorate, our economic situation would worsen, and our closest relationships would unravel, then we'd be depressed. In fact, even if we knew our lives would stay the same, most of us would feel unsatisfied. We're always looking to improve the quality of our lives - it's human nature.
Unfortunately, many of us never go beyond hoping for improvements to actually making them. In this lesson, I'd like to share some insights to help you improvise your approach to improvement.
Develop Habits
The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda. Leaders who make successful improvements share a common denominator: they form habits of daily action that those who fail to improve never develop. As my friend Andy Stanley says, "Your direction determines your destination." The steps you make each day, for good or ill, eventually chart the path of your life.
Consider the analogy of saving for retirement. Financial advisers counsel us to invest for retirement early in our careers and consistently throughout life. If we do, we can quit working at 65 with a sizeable nest egg. However, if we neglect funding our 401(k) each month, then we end up with nothing. We may still "hope" to win the lottery and secure our financial future, but we've lost the ability to control our fate.
Befriend Discipline
We live in the ultimate quick-fix culture. Everyone wants to be thin, but few people eat healthy and exercise. Everyone wants financial stability, but many refuse to be bothered by a budget. Rather than trouble ourselves with discipline, we opt for diet fads or speculate in the stock market. When we don't see long-term improvements, we discard one fad in favor of another.
In life, there are two kinds of pain: the pain of self-discipline and the pain of regret. The pain of self-discipline involves sacrifice, sweat, and delayed gratification. Thankfully, the reward of improvement softens the pain of self-discipline and makes it worthwhile. The pain of regret begins as a missed opportunity and ends up as squandered talent and an unfulfilled life. Once the pain of regret sets in, there's nothing you can do other than wonder, "What if?"
Admit Mistakes
When trying to improve, we not only risk failure, we guarantee it. The good news is that mistakes generally teach us far more than success. There's no sense pretending we're perfect. Even the best of the best have moments of weakness. That's why it's important to be honest when we fall short, learn from the mistake, and move forward with the knowledge gained.
Measure Progress
You cannot manage what you cannot measure. Identify the areas in which improvement is essential to your success and find a way to track your progress. Keeping score holds you accountable and gives you a clear indicator of whether or not you're actually improving.
Change Continually
Continual change is essential for improvement. One of the great paradoxes of success is that the skills and qualities that get you to the top are seldom the ones that keep you there. The quest to improve forces us to abandon assumptions, embrace innovation, and seek new relationships. If we're complacent for too long, we'll fall behind the learning curve. Once this happens, it's a steep, uphill climb to get back to the top.
The desire for improvement has a degree of discontent in it. Personal growth requires apparently contradictory mindsets: humility to realize you have room to grow but also confidence that improvement is possible.

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
From the Book of Stephen R. Convey. Book for Personal Effectiveness.. Just want to share this to all..
Summary of the 7 habits for highly effective people
Habit 1: Be Proactive
Change Starts from within, and highly effective people make the decisions to improve their lives through the things that they can influence rather than by simply reacting to external forces.
Habit 2: Begin with the End of Mind
Develop a Principle - centered personal mission statement. Extend the mission statement in long - term goals based on Personal Principles.
Habit 3: Put First Things First
Spend time doing what fits into your personal mission, observing the proper balance between production and building production capacity. Identify the key roles that you take on in life, and make time for each of them.
Habit 4: Think win/win
Seek agreements and relationship that are mutually beneficial. In case where a "win/win" deal cannot be achieved, accept the fact that agreeing to make "no deal" may be the best alternative. In developing an organizational culture, be sure to reward win/win behavior among employees and avoid inadvertantly rewarding win/lose behavior.
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be understood
First seek to understand the other person, and only then try to be understood (according to covey this is the most important principle of interpersonal relations. Effective listening is not simply echoing what the other person has said through the len's of one's own experience. Rather, putting oneself in the perspective of the other persons, listening empathically for both feeling and meaning.
Habit 6: Synergize
Through trustful communication, find ways to levergae individual differences to create a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. Through mutual trust and understanding, one often can solve conflicts and find a better solution than would have been obtained through either person's own solution.
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
Take time out from productions to build production capacity through personal renewal of the Physical, Mental, Social/Emotional, and Spiritual dimensions. Maintain a balance among these dimensions.

We had so much fun sa Subic Safari para kaming mga bata hehehe.. kasi namn mga kakaibang animals din yung makikita sa loob ng zoo.. plus you have guide na lahat ng animals dun ay ineexplain nya kung saan galing.. infairness, tour guides at zoobic safari are all well-trained. They speak well in english at lahat ng questions mo about sa animals na nadun kaya nila sagutin hehehe.. Thanks to our guide "IAN" hehehe, I've learned a lot! See you next time sana dito sa manila naman hehehe (wishfull thinking lang naman malay na tin db??.. uhmm law of attraction hehehe)

We stayed at Subic greenhills home (formerly forest hills) ganda ng house okay na okay sa family or sa barkada. We ate our breakfast at around 9.30 am. stayed their for awhile change outfit syempre hehehe
We went first at J.E.S.T. Camp (its a tour around the compound) we went at tarantula land (actually i forgot the name of the place hehehe
after that sa birds house (once again its not the real name of the place hehehe)
We also try the airsoft gun it was so fun! I enjoy it buti na lng me and yana tried it nagsunuran din sila hehehe
The weight of the gun that is being use for the airsoft is the actual weight of the real gun (kaya mejo mabigat din)

at the butterfly house
After sa JEST camp.. we went to all hands beach (indi kami nagswimming dun ami kasi tao) so went to Camayan beach resort (Hindi din kami natuloy dun kasi meron daw friend si charmain sa Lighthouse hotel Free daw swimming) so went their to see the place.. but indi kasi pwede magswimming sa beach may oil spill daw. Ayaw namn namin sa pool kasi sabi ni yana sana daw nagantiplo na lng kami hehehehe (may point namn sya) hehehe
So at the end sa Ocean View Resort kami bumagsak near lang sa Lighthouse. we ate our lunch their (actually 3pm na un) after that swimming time na
