In 1997, a very young individual was sitting down in front of me for a job interview. While he had some experience, he was clearly a learner and wanted to use the job experience to achieve his goals in life. The name of the young professional I was interviewing was Paulo Tibig.

Paulo and I worked together for just a year as it was evident that his heart and talents were suited more for the world of entrepreneurship as against corporate employment. When Paulo asked if he can resign to start his own business, I did not even offered him to stay as I knew in my heart this young guy will be better off being his own boss than having one. We remained good friends since then and Paulo became an esteemed colleague and a business mentor of mine.

15 years after, the young professional is now the CEO of V Cargo, one of the country’s biggest logistics and cargo companies and is truly his own boss. He has since been a staunch advocate of entrepreneurship and his audience ranges from captains of the industries, SMEs and even young kids. He is now known as the EntrepChamp and is one of the most recognizable experts in the field of entrepreneurship.

From a big coliseum to a small cafe, Paulo has been teaching & inspiring people to be entrepreneurs and he has truly changed many lives by what he teaches. What is amazing about Paulo is that unlike many business advocates & speakers, Paulo is the real deal in business as he continues to run and grow many enterprises aside from V Cargo. Many speakers speak from their historical experiences but Paulo teaches not just from his past but also from his present endeavors. It is very rare to hear a real captain of the industry spend a lot of time teaching people from all walks of life making him one of the best in his craft.

On July 26, 2013, you can have the opportunity to learn from the EntrepChamp himself along with his guests Chinkee Tan and Boris Joaquin. To inquire, send email to info@whiteboardlearning.ph

Discipline #1: Breakthrough Entrepreneurs have a junkyard dog mentality.Are you persistent with your business? Or are you easily shaken and give up quickly? Breakthrough entrepreneurs are like junkyard dogs — they are tenacious and hang on no matter what because they are focused on their goals.

Discipline # 2: Breakthrough Entrepreneurs are committed to devote their time and energy on their idea. Do you make time in your day or week threshing out your ideas that have potential? Breakthrough entrepreneurs put in time and effort into bringing your ideas to fruition.

Discipline #3: Breakthrough entrepreneurs like working with people. Do you enjoy working with other people or would you rather work alone? Breakthrough entrepreneurs like working with people and dealing with all sorts of personalities.

Discipline #4: Breakthrough entrepreneurs focus on the solution, not on the problem. If there’s a problem, do you spend time finger pointing or fault finding? Breakthrough entrepreneurs acknowledge the problem, quickly identity the cause, and move on to finding a solution.

Discipline #5: Breakthrough entrepreneurs are willing to share the pie with others. Are you a believer in winner-take-all and zero-sum games? Or do you believe in win-win and are willing share the pie with others? Breakthrough entrepreneurs  are big on having strategic partners and generous incentives to employees.

Discipline #6: Breakthrough entrepreneurs are always itching for something new. Are you content with what you’ve accomplished? Or do you keep trying to shake things up? Breakthrough entrepreneurs are always experimenting and trying new things.

Discipline #7: Breakthrough entrepreneurs are innovators. Do you believe in the adage “don’t fix it if it ain’t broken?” Or do you enjoy experimenting and doing something different? Breakthrough entrepreneurs are creative and innovative in their business approach.

Discipline #8: Breakthrough entrepreneurs have adequate backup resources.When you start a business or launch a new product or project, do you go “all in?” Or do you have adequate resources in case something goes wrong? Breakthrough entrepreneurs always make sure they have a Plan B.

Discipline #9: Breakthrough entrepreneurs are lifetime learners. Do you think training and investing in learning is a waste of time and money? Are are you always learning new things? Breakthrough entrepreneurs are open to new ideas, knowledge, and information — and are willing to invest in learning.

Discipline #10: Breakthrough entrepreneurs know and live out their winning business philosophy. Is money all there is to it for your business? Or do you consider your business also in terms of your purpose? Breakthrough entrepreneurs serve a cause higher than themselves.
