The Best Advice – is to have an Adviser

One of the first lessons i’ve learned in Geometry is that the shortest line is a straight line. The more curves you walk through, the longer time you spend walking, and the more steps you had to make. Worst is that, when you make a wrong turn, you have to walk back – wasting more time, effort, and energy.

Of course, walking straight to your goal seems to be impossible. But eliminating unnecessary curves is surely achievable by simply having the right mentor. As my mentor said “there’s nothing new under the sun”.. someone must have gotten to your place, made a decision, and has achieved or failed. A mentor can teach you the right decision to make.

I am blessed to have found great business mentors. My mom has always been a mentor even if she’s not around anymore. She’s the first businesswoman i’ve evern known (have I told you she opened a “Jenny’s Chicken” restaurant?, hahahaha). My brother, kuya dave and wife ate nory, has been my inspiration and has opened my eyes to the world of entrepreneurship starting the age of 10. Most of what i know now, is from what i’ve learned and observed from them for the past many years.

And meet my new found mentors — kuya myk and kuya jesse encarnacion — the superrr brothers :) how i met them? it was a gift from heaven :) because im a proud protegee, kuya jesse was a vp for risk management in JP Morgan Chase in New York.. and now he has a business relationship with a company in Singapore.. and the long list goes on and on and on :) kuya jesse cracks my head open whenever we talk. He specializes in Risk Management, Regulatory Compliance, Business Structuring and Strategic Planning.. and more :)

I am a proud student. And i must say that life is so much easier if you have a mentor. Everything becomes easy easy easy :)

we all know that the word “new” is totally overused — but even so, saying “new” over and over and over again still gives a hopeful feeling.

so there.. for the Nth time.. jennytrinidad.com is new again :) here, i will mostly share my experiences and learnings as an entrepreneur.. and hopefully, i can be an encouragement and inspiration to those of you who aspires to venture in business too.

new hope, new plan, new concept :) its new, and i love it
