Finally - ErrolChua.com is Back

I didnt realize how long its been since my last post. What started off as a 2 month sebatical has lingered on to become a 6 month drought. It feels like the longer ive been without writing, the harder it is to come up with the right words to say. To make things quick and easy, here is a brief summary of whats been going on in my life these past few months.

Recap of past 6 months

Nov-Jan: Went back home to San Francisco, ate a lot of turkey, hung out with the loved ones, played a lot of golf and went on a cruise. I’m not going to dwell too much into my personal life, but if you are really interested, just ask me.

Jan-Feb: Flew back to the Philippines. This time around was strictly business. No more messing around, partying, or jumping on skee ball machines. We decided to only keep 2 of our previous staff members and start off fresh. We also moved into a new office and condo building.

Feb-Mar: Launched our first local company, grew to a staff size of 8, got into a bit of affiliate marketing, and networked like crazy.

Apr-May: Launched our third local company, grew to a staff size of 20, broke the 100 mark in my first golf tourney, and moved into a way overpriced, but 4 times bigger office on the 28th floor of one of the top buildings in the Philippines.

May-Now: Became an official member of the Makati Rotary Club, Launched a mini call center, had one of our companies featured on a tv show and im now drinking up to 4 cappucino’s a day.

Alot has changed in the past 6 months, and I have grown immensely. Sometimes I wonder tho, when will i ever get out of the rat race?

Green Tip #1: Fridays at Bo’s

pictures were lost some how….

So to combat the slumping economy, and to do my fair share of saving the mother Earth, ive decided to cut a few costs and find alternative solutions. Running an office is pretty expensive. 6 computers, lighting, A/C.. Last month alone, my electricity bill was around $250. Maybe its because I dont pay the bills back in SF, but I never recall the electricity bill being anything close to $250. So to mix things up and to save a bit on the utilities, I came up with an idea, Fridays At Bo’s.

Bo’s is kind of like the Philippine version of starbucks. In fact, it has a similar look and feel to it inside. The coffee is just whatever, but the main selling point is that most other coffee shops do not have free wifi. The beauty of being involved in a web based business is that you can easily take your work with you, as long as there’s the internet.

What we did was we hogged a litte section of the cafe, brought our own power strip and got right to work. The Bo’s employees didnt mind that we stayed over 8 hrs, just as long as we kept the coffee coming. All in all, I think it ended up being a success because it not only saved me a couple of bucks, its got us out of the house and builts team comradre in the process.
