Beneficial Mistakes

Yesterday, I was walking with my little brother at the beverage area of our local mart. We were looking for drinks to gulp down on our way home. There were hundreds of different colas. You know, those piles of drinks in a long open fridge.

Then I saw this weird looking, 1980’s style orange drink that says “With real pulp inside”.

Suddenly, something popped out of my head.

I remembered this little story (urban legend?) that used to haunt a local orange drink here in our country.

They have this promise that their drink has real orange ingredients in it. But during the bottling process, one of their machines broke and spilled the dried pulp over the orange drink.

In spite of that, the bottling went ahead. The drink was sent and sold to almost all stores nationwide.

Big deal? YES, first of all they don’t serve that kind of drink and second, there…

The Kidblogger Meets The MasterListBuilder

I learned more things today than the last seven days combined.

My head just exploded when I met one of the top notch internet marketers. When I say top notch, I mean the guy who taught gurus. Namely Armand Morin, Mike Litman, Terry Dean, etc. Who worked with legends like Jay Levinson, Joe Vitale, Ted Nicholas, you name it.

So who’s this guy I’m talking about?

They call him The MasterListBuilder, Joel Christopher.

With that staggering introduction, you won’t believe that Joel is simple, very simple. He doesn’t even wear a watch. Ordinary kind of guy, with the ordinary khaki pants and shirt (Hey, we’re both in pink!), BUT when he starts talking…

Bam! Everybody heads up and listen.

Me, and Joel Christopher

One of the things I love about Joel is how he NEVER forgets our country, yes he’s a Filipino too, a proud one. How he shares his blessings to others and how he helps…
