All about Sean Si and his thoughts on entrepreneurship, public speaking and leadership
If you are one of those business owners that are still struggling to adopt, haven’t yet adopted, or are still pondering on going digital, this topic is for you. In 2020, around 90,000 MSMEs ceased operations during the pandemic. That’s 193 businesses declaring themselves permanently closed in June 2020, while 1,875 other businesses reduced their […]
Today, we are going to be talking about the four different types of leaders. Now there are so many variations of this — you may argue that this is not the original four different types of leader, but hey, to each his own. This is simply my take on the types of leaders out there. […]
It’s been a tough slog for me these past couple of months. It’s the first time I’m experiencing a year where we lost more than we made. I guess a 12-year winning run is something to be super thankful for but it doesn’t make things easier when you experience your first year where there’s no […]
In this post, we are going to be talking about habits. The reason I want to talk about this topic is because I personally underwent a major habit change, and I want to share that with you today. We all have similar goals. You and I have similar goals. We want to be healthy. We […]
I’m now at the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible and I can’t help but notice how Solomon has been whining that all of life – the effort and labor we put at work to build wealth, secure our future and gain wisdom and understanding along the way – is all vanity and a chasing […]
One of the most perplexing, unexplainable things in life is how and why successful people seem so grateful – and why grateful people seem to find success more often. I realize gratitude is a form of humility. Humility is knowing where you stand in life and where you are in the grand scheme of things. […]
I lead a team of millenials and centenials largely. These are individuals who are 20 – 40 years old. One of the things that I have to wrestle with are surprisingly some of the most basic things in professionalism but I also now understand the importance of clarifying even those things that are supposedly a […]
It’s the first time that we have ever done a strategic plan for the year ahead. I know that it sounds absurd considering we are already a 12 year old organization however I started SEO Hacker as a clueless young noob and I had no idea how to do pretty much anything except SEO. We […]
Sometimes I wonder about this question. It took God 6 days to build our world and create all that is in it – including us human beings. I do believe in my heart that there might be other works that God continues to do after our world has been done. Author’s Note: These things I’m […]
So few companies now have vision. Real vision of the future they want to attain. It’s a sad reality of our world because without vision, people would have different directions – often they put their own personal agendas first. We’ve always had a vision for where we want SEO Hacker to be but we’ve never […]
Yes it exists. Now the word ‘perfect’ here is relative of course as the saying goes ‘beauty is in the eyes of the beholder’ so it follows the same route. The world has too often peppered us with the thought “being married is not a fairy tale”. That divorce rates are increasing, that infidelity is […]
This year has been tiring. Business owners are feeling the squeeze of the job market going nuts. People demand working from home – and because numerous companies from all over the world are hiring here in the Philippines, salaries are increasing AND people are demanding less work too – hiding under the guise of work-life […]
There are more times than I care to admit where I lose my cool. No I don’t shout or say degrading words but people just know that I’m upset and that scares them and even hurts them. We all fall into habits that are triggered by emotions. Those times may be rare but they should […]
I have learned so much from my business & leadership coaching sessions with Michael Sonbert of Rebel Culture. He has been coaching me for well over a month now and it has changed my leadership and opened up perspectives and insights that I have never considered before. Consequently, he has made the lives of over […]
I have been tuned in to Patrick Lencioni’s podcasts lately and I have come across one where he mentions the truth that you will have to face the fact that you will hire really bad, rotten people in your team and it’s inevitable. Thoughts start popping into my head – and as the CEO and […]
I’m going through Wharton’s leadership certificate course on executive presence and influence and one of the principles in the first module is “All the World’s a Stage”. The summary thought behind that is that we are always on stage and people are always looking at what we say or do or wear or drive. The […]
The sacrifices weren’t enough. We paid others ahead of ourselves – taking out of our own savings. We taught people necessary skills they need to have a better livelihood. We mentored and coached fragile individuals who needed our encouragement and guidance. We gave to people who lost loved ones or who experienced loss in life. […]
As a business owner, I could not express just how many times I have been personally disappointed by people – whether it’s clients, employees or suppliers – disappointments are just a part of life. I’m sure that even outside of business and work, we have disappointments that we have to deal with. This time when […]
We have decided to try working using a hybrid setup where we ask people to come in to the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays and they can work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Author’s Note: This entry was written June 3, 2022 – I usually write ahead and schedule my posts for publishing […]
There’s no doubt about it – a vast majority of business owners are finding it difficult to traverse these difficult times where problems after problems batter your thoughts. There’s the ‘great resignation’ that’s happening all over the world because a multitude of people woke up more entitled and want more pay for less work. These […]
