00:00The Business Mentor Talks is vlog by no other, Armando Buts Bartolome, in cooperation with
00:14the Manila Times.
00:15It aims to bring to life and recognize entrepreneurs who constantly strive to create a living for
00:21the community as well.
00:51Listen to the Business Mentor Talks with Buts Bartolome.
01:15Again, this is Buts Bartolome, again, a blessed Sunday.
01:24But again, for us, our blessedness is actually bringing you beautiful interviews, that are
01:35full of meaning and are inspiring.
01:38Today, we will interview an entrepreneur who has a lot to share, especially what happens
01:51after retirement.
01:52What is it, is it happiness or sadness?
01:57So to give you further, again, insight, I'm with GoNegosyo, one of the mentors of GoNegosyo.
02:07We are also included in other visitations, especially in our DepEd program of GoNegosyo
02:16in Mindoro, in Nuse Mindoro, during the hot season, the very hot season, and at the same
02:23time in Ilocos, in Lawag.
02:27So without further ado, let's welcome Mr. Jordan Patente, the joyful entrepreneur.
02:33Jordan, good morning, good Sunday to you.
02:37Good morning, good Sunday.
02:39I hope everyone is relaxed, Sir Buts, and I'm very grateful that I'm here with you.
02:47Right.
02:48Right.
02:49Jordan, what is it that many people are saying, many of our friends, viewers, and listeners
02:58are saying that they want to retire, retire, retire.
03:02But what is the real meaning of a retiree, what is the reality, the real talk, what is it?
03:11Well, that's a good topic, Sir Buts, because of course, we all reach the point of retirement.
03:18But for some, or for most, if I may say, their retirement age is 60 or 65, but for us entrepreneurs,
03:25it's not applicable.
03:26But in my case, it's a long goal.
03:30So it's a goal that I've set when I was still a full-time employee, and I realized at the
03:35age of 33 that I wanted to retire when I reached the age of 40.
03:39I want to, when I retire, one of the most important books that I've come across with was the book
03:51of Robert Kiyosaki, Sir Buts.
03:53Isn't that the book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad?
03:56Yes.
03:57Yes.
03:58The thing was, that book was not available when I was looking for it in a big bookstore.
04:03The fourth series of Rich Dad, Poor Dad is available, and it is about retiring young
04:12and rich.
04:13That's the title of the book.
04:15So it made a huge impact in my life that, yes, I want to retire, but when I retire,
04:21I want to be very comfortable.
04:23I worked so hard in the last seven years, Sir Buts, that I felt like I gave too much
04:31of my body and myself, and I was able to prove myself.
04:36I was happy, and I must say that even until now, it's been almost three years that I'm
04:42retired, and I'm living the life.
04:44I don't have to worry about where to get sales.
04:47Do I have a house?
04:49Do I have a house to pay for?
04:51Do I have a car?
04:52Do I have a house?
04:53Everything that I need, Sir, I thought I'm beyond blessed.
04:56So for me, it's nice to have a life where you're retired, where you have extra energy
05:03to go around, extra energy to pursue mission work.
05:08Because for me, I miss really big.
05:10Because when I was a kid, Sir Buts, even though I just asked for permission from my
05:16mom in high school, I was already helping in the likes of Bantay Bata, Bantay Kaligasan,
05:22I really like that.
05:24And while growing up, especially when I was busy in my corporate life, I didn't have
05:29time for them.
05:30And especially when I became a businessman, Sir Buts, full-time, I didn't have time
05:36in doing those things.
05:38And I'm looking for it, especially now that I'm retired.
05:41So for me, I'm living a fulfilled life with the enough energy that can bring me and
05:48allow me to go around and do things that really matters to me without compromising,
05:53Sir Buts, what are my values.
05:56That's really big for me.
05:58Correct, correct.
05:59But is it easy to retire?
06:01Is it easy to make a decision to retire?
06:05What was your process?
06:08Well, there are two kinds.
06:10First, forced retirement.
06:12Yes.
06:13Sorry, especially when there's a redundancy or when two companies merge.
06:20You know, we see a lot of that.
06:22Or the other is planned retirement.
06:25Or the other is accidentally retired.
06:28So how does one prepare really?
06:31I'm sure a lot of people are watching us nearing that age.
06:36Because some people say that when you retire, you're already retarded.
06:39Is that right?
06:40I hope so.
06:42I hope you're retarded and happy.
06:44But in most cases, it can be miserable.
06:46Because you said, can a Filipino prepare for their retirement?
06:53And speaking of my personal journey, Sir Buts,
06:57I wasn't able to prepare, even though I've been working towards that goal.
07:02What am I saying that I wasn't able to prepare?
07:04Because for the last seven years,
07:07I wanted the business to be successful.
07:10Then we had a pandemic, right?
07:12So it was a bit difficult.
07:14Because the insecurity of what if this pandemic will not stop.
07:19So the pandemic had a big impact.
07:21And I don't think somebody could really prepare.
07:23Because we don't know until now.
07:25I'm not sure if we're at the tail end or still in the middle of the pandemic.
07:29They didn't say it's an endemic.
07:33Probably, I'm not aware.
07:34But the thing is, even the regular employees
07:38could really not prepare so much about what is yet to come.
07:42Because when you're fulfilling duties,
07:44such as you have a full-time work,
07:46you have a full-time business that you're running,
07:48you just can only plan in terms of thinking what you're going to do next.
07:53But the plan that you have in place could probably not happen.
07:57Because, Sir Buts, the world is different when you're already retired.
08:02The hardest part, Sir Buts, I'll just tell you,
08:04is the aspect that you don't know what to do.
08:08Because you've been so used to working so hard,
08:12doing a lot of things, right? Multitasking.
08:15Mega.
08:16Then all of a sudden...
08:17It's mega, mega tasking.
08:19Sometimes when you wake up, you're tired already.
08:21Sometimes you can't even have breakfast.
08:24You know, hit the ground running.
08:26That's what they say, right?
08:28Yes.
08:29Then all of a sudden, boom!
08:31You have a vacuum.
08:33Yes.
08:34The world stopped.
08:36It's like, hi, why is no one calling me anymore?
08:39Hi, no one is messaging me anymore.
08:42That's true, Sir.
08:43You know, for me, at first,
08:45they say that drug addicts need to go through their withdrawal stage, right?
08:52It's the same with retirement.
08:54Because when I was a full-time business owner,
08:58although I should trust other people,
09:02and then I had an issue about being perfectionist and all that,
09:06I couldn't let go of it right away.
09:08So when I officially turned 40,
09:11my partner and I decided that I could retire.
09:15Because he also saw that my health,
09:19my physical health, and my mental health were not good.
09:21So later, we could share more about that.
09:23But the concept of withdrawal,
09:27can I just handle one department?
09:29And I thought, I love working in branding, in marketing.
09:34So those were my last projects in the business.
09:37So slowly, I was running out of things to do.
09:41It was really hard, Sir.
09:43So for the first time in your entire working life,
09:47you ran out of things to do,
09:49and you couldn't write anything on your planner.
09:54Right?
09:55The vacuum that you are really seeing.
09:59How do you handle that?
10:01The vacuum?
10:02For me, Sir, it was really hard.
10:04If I may just say.
10:05And now, I could understand,
10:07and I understand our senior citizens who are also retiring,
10:12that it's really hard.
10:13Some of them are losing what the Japanese say,
10:16their livelihood.
10:17All of a sudden, you lost your purpose in life.
10:20And so, I'm grateful in a way that,
10:23at least at my age of 40,
10:24I have time to really think about,
10:27what do I want to pursue?
10:29Because Sir, if I may just share,
10:31after being a full-time business owner,
10:33I became a full-time vlogger.
10:35Because I didn't know what I was going to do.
10:37So I really jumped into vlogging,
10:40because I'm used to running an office with people.
10:43Even my vlogging, I inherited Sir Boots.
10:46But I must also tell you,
10:47and I must admit, to be honest,
10:49it wasn't successful,
10:51my venture.
10:52To the extent that,
10:53it's like you still put up a startup business,
10:57and you wanted it to become successful.
10:59So a few months ago,
11:02I think less than 6 months ago this year,
11:05I made the decision to stop vlogging.
11:08Because first, the cost of my overhead is too high.
11:11Second,
11:13vlogging is not that easy.
11:16So these realities are hitting me.
11:20It's like your expenses, stress, preparation and all,
11:23no one is watching you.
11:25So it's part of the process Sir Boots,
11:28that if your world stops,
11:30as a full-time entrepreneur,
11:32or as they say, a corporate slave,
11:36if your world stops,
11:39you have nothing to do but look for a purpose.
11:43So it's like a midlife crisis, so to speak.
11:46So you're now asking,
11:48the big WHY is in front of you.
11:52Why?
11:54You have to find out your WHY.
11:56But Jordan,
11:58it's not just this,
12:00but again, what's really hitting us,
12:02especially after the pandemic,
12:05or during the pandemic,
12:06is mental health.
12:09I know that the other day,
12:10before the pandemic,
12:11nobody wants to talk,
12:13it's like a hush of mental health.
12:18But with this pandemic,
12:20it has really,
12:21you know,
12:22it has really increased.
12:24A lot.
12:25I mean,
12:26nobody is exempted, right?
12:28During the pandemic,
12:29it struck us,
12:30we all thought,
12:31ah, it's just for a while,
12:322 days, 3 days.
12:35But it's 2 days, 3 days,
12:36it became 3 years.
12:39So,
12:40especially if I'm going to retire,
12:42that's really mental health,
12:44really a big factor
12:46that affects a lot of people,
12:48especially retirees.
12:50That's a lot, Sir Butts.
12:52In fact,
12:53the pressure of you
12:54not knowing what to do,
12:55regardless with or without pandemic,
12:58that's heavy.
12:59Especially,
13:00the big factor there,
13:02Sir Butts,
13:03is the concept that,
13:04am I still earning money?
13:05Am I putting money on the table?
13:08Food on the table?
13:09If it stops,
13:10Sir Butts,
13:12even if you're secured,
13:13you'll have insecurities
13:15because you're not productive.
13:18So now,
13:19mentally,
13:20what is really happening?
13:22There's so much happening
13:23in your head.
13:24So, that's one.
13:25I've also realized,
13:26Sir Butts,
13:27that this pandemic,
13:28I was thinking,
13:29because to be honest,
13:30Sir Butts,
13:31I also had that depression
13:34before I retired.
13:36So, before I turned 40,
13:38I didn't like what I was doing,
13:41Sir Butts.
13:42I've realized that
13:43we, as businessmen,
13:44Sir Butts,
13:45we have different classes.
13:47So, what I mean is that,
13:49some businessmen can just run
13:51their businesses
13:53almost forever.
13:54So, maybe,
13:55Sir Butts is in that category
13:57because until now,
13:58he was really passionate
13:59about helping businesses.
14:01Continuously, right?
14:03Allow me to help you
14:04grow your business.
14:05Yeah, yeah.
14:06You could be that.
14:07And that's how it is,
14:08Sir Butts.
14:09And I also have something like that,
14:10that I am so good at start-ups.
14:13That all of my energy,
14:15I'll put it in the start-up.
14:17But to the point that,
14:19when I've fixed everything,
14:21there's no more challenge for me.
14:23It's like I've experienced
14:24all the challenges
14:25and I've given it a solution.
14:27It's time to move on.
14:28I have to.
14:30Because what I did,
14:31Sir Butts,
14:32in my five years
14:33with the previous company,
14:35I stayed.
14:36To the extent that
14:37I became grumpy.
14:38Every day,
14:39my head is hot.
14:40That's why I became depressed.
14:41Because it's like
14:42there's no purpose anymore.
14:43Especially me, Sir,
14:44I'm fond of documentation.
14:46I'm O.C. in that.
14:47All of my problems,
14:49it's for the franchise,
14:50right, Sir?
14:51It's all written there.
14:52I'm going to write it
14:53so that I'll have a business bible
14:55after.
14:56So, I did that.
14:57So, all of their questions
14:59or their issues,
15:00all I can say is,
15:01we've faced that already.
15:03Look at our history,
15:06it's like that.
15:07So, I lost my purpose.
15:09So, it continued.
15:11My head is hot,
15:12I can't sleep,
15:13I'm not happy,
15:14I don't want to go out,
15:15I can't talk to people.
15:17And then, of course,
15:18the pandemic,
15:19you have no choice
15:20but to stay at home.
15:22Correct.
15:23It's really going to come together
15:24and our mental health
15:25will be affected.
15:26And so, I had that,
15:27Sir Butts.
15:28So, how did you manage
15:29that mental health issue,
15:31Jordan?
15:32How did you,
15:33how were you able
15:34to swim towards,
15:36you know,
15:37springing yourself back?
15:39How was that?
15:40Because,
15:41I'm sure a lot of people
15:42can relate, right?
15:43The different aspects.
15:45It's not just entrepreneurs,
15:47it's anyone, right?
15:49Students,
15:50especially those who used to be
15:52very active in social life,
15:54especially those we call
15:56party animals,
15:58those who like to go out
16:00at night,
16:01all of a sudden,
16:02they're stuck at home.
16:04So, they developed depression,
16:06right?
16:07So, you,
16:08what are the steps
16:09that you took today?
16:11Well, Sir Butts,
16:12to be honest,
16:13you know,
16:14it's hard to admit to yourself
16:16that you have a mental condition.
16:18It's,
16:19I'm just grateful
16:21that, of course,
16:22with constant prayer
16:24and communication
16:26with our Creator,
16:27that I've been doing
16:29self-assessment.
16:30Because, Sir,
16:31I know myself.
16:32That's why.
16:33So, it's,
16:34it helps that you know yourself.
16:36And when you know yourself,
16:38you also get to see
16:39the difference
16:40of who you were before
16:41and who you are now.
16:43And, why am I saying this?
16:44Because I've realized,
16:45when I started
16:47being a full-time business owner,
16:49I knew that my enthusiasm
16:51was so high,
16:52my mind was so long
16:54for the errors.
16:57Of course,
16:58we are businessmen,
17:00we don't want to make mistakes,
17:01to fail, right?
17:02My mind was so long.
17:03But, over the years,
17:05I changed a lot.
17:07In a way that,
17:08I really don't want to talk
17:10to people anymore.
17:11And, you know, Sir,
17:12as a businessman,
17:14I'm always mission-driven.
17:16But even so,
17:18my people, particularly,
17:20and this I am sharing with everybody,
17:22I'm not proud,
17:23but I thought it's worth sharing.
17:25Even though my purpose
17:27in my business is noble,
17:29because it's also helping the industry,
17:31helping them sustain their jobs,
17:33and all,
17:34I've realized, Sir,
17:36that a lot of people don't like me
17:38to the extent that they brought me to Dole.
17:40Why did they bring me to Dole?
17:42It's not because of unfair treatment,
17:44but it's because of their perception of me.
17:48So, it really hurts.
17:51I really remember my birthday,
17:52I was in Dole.
17:53So, it's like I was booted.
17:56I was even caught, Sir,
17:58because I was parked in Bawaldo,
18:00Baguintay,
18:01if you didn't really
18:03take off your shoes.
18:05So, it really hurts.
18:07It's like a typhoon, Sir Butch.
18:09But the thing is,
18:11how did I get through that?
18:13Because I could say that
18:15because I'm talking about it,
18:17the phase of my life is over
18:19where I don't want
18:21to talk to other people anymore.
18:23So, I'm past my depression stage.
18:26But I'm the type of person, Sir Butch,
18:28who doesn't like to take medicine.
18:30So, I will really not
18:32go to a doctor
18:34for me.
18:35So, I'm saying that I'm not clinically
18:37defined
18:39to have depression.
18:41But, of course,
18:43we like to use the internet.
18:45So, we saw the symptoms
18:47and they are all present.
18:50But what I look for, Sir Butch,
18:52is I look for complementary
18:54alternative medicine.
18:56I thought I'm comfortable
18:58with them.
19:00For some reason, I resonate a lot with them.
19:02So, Sir Butch,
19:04a lot of coaching sessions.
19:06And then, I went through
19:08releasing of the deep-seated
19:10stresses.
19:12And another thing that
19:14I'd like to be honest with,
19:16Sir Butch,
19:18is to accept
19:20myself fully.
19:23Because,
19:25back in the day, Sir Butch,
19:27I don't speak particularly about
19:29my sexuality because I'm scared.
19:31Because I went through a lot,
19:33Sir Butch, when I was young.
19:35You were molested,
19:37and then you were also
19:39a lot of things that hurt me,
19:41Sir, physically and emotionally.
19:43Yeah, the physical hurts.
19:45It's hard to accept.
19:47Sometimes, you're
19:49next to me and we're kissing.
19:51But again,
19:53it boils up like a volcano.
19:55Sooner or later, you never know
19:57a volcano when it will erupt.
19:59It erupts at the wrong time at the wrong place.
20:05You're able to...
20:07What I'm looking at now is actually
20:09phases. You're able to accept who you are.
20:11You're able to
20:13analyze
20:15what you're going through
20:17rather than keep on
20:19denying, self-denial,
20:21and then moving on.
20:23Again, you really now
20:25appreciate the beauty of
20:27the technology like the internet.
20:29Imagine that.
20:31For example,
20:33our time is
20:351920s, 1930s.
20:37Probably, you're
20:39at home but you can't
20:41read. You can't
20:43get help.
20:45From there on,
20:47what's your view on life?
20:49Where is now Jordan?
20:51Where is now the path of Jordan?
20:53You're now saying
20:55the joyful entrepreneur.
20:57What is this that you turned around
20:59and now coming up with this
21:01kind of campaign that
21:03you are doing now?
21:05Our transition is beautiful, sir.
21:07I hope
21:09our viewers
21:11appreciate the journey
21:13and our storytelling
21:16because I'd like to say
21:18that at this point in time, sir Boots,
21:20I think I'm really ready
21:22to talk about what I went through
21:24because again, it wasn't easy
21:26to admit it, that's one.
21:28It's also not easy to say that
21:30your healing process is still ongoing
21:32but as I told you, sir Boots,
21:34I thought I'm really
21:36prayerful
21:38and part of my process
21:40is to ask the Lord
21:42what I should do
21:44as a retired
21:46I really don't have to work, sir Boots.
21:48I really don't have
21:50to please people as well.
21:52That's another answer to my new mantra.
21:54Before, you're a people pleaser
21:56because you don't have that full self-acceptance.
21:58That's why, okay,
22:00I'll ask other people first.
22:02But now, because I thought I'm whole,
22:04I'm not perfect still
22:06and I don't want to be there,
22:08I thought I want to talk about
22:10what I went through.
22:12One of the answers I got from my prayer
22:14is I should also talk about
22:16the mental health,
22:18particularly our
22:20businessmen.
22:24Yes, that's right.
22:26I always say,
22:28an entrepreneur is like a captain of the ship.
22:30If the entrepreneur is physically
22:32and mentally sick,
22:34how will the ship
22:36run?
22:38It will go around and maybe later,
22:40the ship will suddenly
22:42sink.
22:44That's actually how the analogy of
22:46an entrepreneur is.
22:48Especially when we say,
22:50health is wealth, physically
22:52and mentally.
22:54Because a lot of people say,
22:56they keep on jogging,
22:58they keep doing a lot of visitations to the gym.
23:00What about your
23:02gymnastics in your health?
23:04Is there something like that,
23:06Jordan?
23:08Yes, there is.
23:10So that we can really
23:12get out of our mental
23:14illnesses, there are ways
23:16and part of them is regular
23:18exercise. I remember
23:20in Blue Zones,
23:22Sir Butch, we talked about Blue Zones 1.
23:24In that docu-series,
23:26the centenarians,
23:28they don't go to the gym and yet,
23:30they're still physically fit because
23:32they ascend the
23:34higher roads,
23:36attend to the regular house chores.
23:38We as businessmen, Sir Butch,
23:40I've realized that as our businesses grow,
23:42we don't do anything
23:44at home.
23:46Nothing.
23:48Especially, although
23:50an internet is a plus,
23:52but it can also be a minus.
23:56Because you're right there,
23:58everybody seems to be a sedentary person.
24:00Everyone is sitting.
24:02It's rare for us
24:04to be standing.
24:06That's true.
24:08But the thing is,
24:10we all need that.
24:12We need to sweat things out because when we sweat out,
24:14you're also releasing
24:16the negative
24:18that your body
24:20accumulates.
24:22So it can be out.
24:24Apart from that,
24:26personally,
24:28I haven't been
24:30healthy eating because
24:32there are a lot of temptations
24:34that I still can't turn down.
24:36But apart from that, Sir Butch,
24:38our mental health particularly
24:40needs exercising.
24:42Mindfulness is one.
24:44Mindfulness is
24:46about appreciating
24:48and just pausing
24:50once in a while to appreciate
24:52the things that you have,
24:54the people that are around you.
24:56That's one.
24:58We're all busy.
25:00On social media, Sir Butch,
25:02I'm sure you've also noticed that
25:04it's like a drug
25:06that makes you addicted.
25:08You just want to scroll up and down
25:10even if it's just for 30 seconds.
25:12At some point, you will realize
25:14that nothing is happening in your life.
25:16Once you finish that realization,
25:18you'll go back to your cell phone
25:20even if you don't want that routine.
25:22Social media
25:24is that addictive.
25:26We have to be mindful
25:28and really pause.
25:30Sometimes,
25:32I almost notice
25:34whether you're in a bus,
25:36whether you're in the LRT,
25:38whether you're in the mall.
25:40I think everyone is sitting right now.
25:42Nobody seems to be looking up.
25:44Everyone is like that.
25:48Cell phone oriented.
25:50There's no phone.
25:52Basically,
25:54what can your program now?
25:56You're coming up with a program.
25:58Tell us your program, Jordan.
26:00I'm sure a lot of people
26:02want to join
26:04and participate.
26:06Really, relating to
26:08what you have been telling us
26:10and sharing us.
26:12What is really the program all about?
26:14Thank you, Sir Butch.
26:16We will certainly share
26:18what we're going through.
26:20The common things that we're going through
26:22are obviously our mental health.
26:24What we need right now,
26:26apart from the fact that we have to accept
26:28that this is still happening to us
26:30because culturally,
26:32we're afraid to admit that we're stressed
26:34or that you have
26:36feelings in your mind
26:38because of the many problems
26:40you're facing every day.
26:42It's just natural,
26:44but we have to start talking about it.
26:46First, there should be an awareness
26:48about what we are going to do
26:50apart from the awareness.
26:52Of course, we have a process
26:54where we will allow our participants
26:56to also go through
26:58recognizing their current
27:00state of mental health.
27:02As they recognize
27:04that, they have to go through
27:06acceptance of who they are right now
27:08and forgiving themselves.
27:10We will have activities to do that
27:12because only when you forgive yourself
27:14that you allowed yourself to be
27:16in that mental state,
27:18that's when you're closer
27:20to healing or that's when the healing
27:22could start. Only then.
27:24Most of the time,
27:26what we see on YouTube
27:28is what we're watching.
27:30Someone told us to meditate.
27:32When you meditate,
27:34you quiet your mind, but the point is
27:36the intention is not there.
27:38We need to go through the process
27:40of forgiving ourselves.
27:42In the program, we will
27:44help you go through that
27:46forgiving session of yourself
27:48and others. Apart from that,
27:50we'll also go through
27:52meditation.
27:54I'm excited about
27:56sound bath healing.
27:58That's one of the exciting
28:00parts because
28:02the deepest
28:04traumas or stresses
28:06could be released
28:08with the help of sound bath
28:10healing.
28:12What is sound bath?
28:14That's a new word
28:16to me.
28:18You have a water bath
28:20but you have now a sound bath.
28:22What is it?
28:24Did you expound on that, Jordan?
28:26When it comes to sound bath,
28:28there are many tools you can use
28:30but the concept is
28:32the vibration of a tool
28:34when it created a sound
28:36and when it reached a certain frequency,
28:38it could release stress.
28:40That's how beautiful
28:42it is.
28:44Our first program is online
28:46but apart from that, we'll also have
28:48an in-person session.
28:50Both are equally
28:52effective but
28:54the in-person session is different.
28:56For the time being, we'll do it online.
28:58This is just
29:00for them to know and understand
29:02whether it's really for them.
29:04Tell me, when is this going to be,
29:06Jordan?
29:08It's happening on
29:1013th of August
29:12evening at 6.30pm.
29:14We'll do it online.
29:16Apart from that,
29:18in sound bath healing,
29:20we also have
29:22emotional freedom
29:24releases or EFT.
29:26Emotional Freedom Technique.
29:28There are ways to just
29:30release immediately
29:32our stresses.
29:34That's what we'll teach
29:36in our workshop.
29:38Probably,
29:40how does one
29:42get to register?
29:46Any other further details
29:48you want to share?
29:50Yes, thank you.
29:52All they have to do is go to my website.
29:54It's jordanpatente.com
29:56I'm also on all
29:58social media.
30:00It's jordanpatente.com
30:02Look me up and we have a registration form.
30:04We're actively talking
30:06about this program because we thought
30:08that a lot of people are not talking
30:10but they really want
30:12to know how to
30:14face their mental
30:16health issues.
30:18On social media and website.
30:20That's true.
30:22A lot of people are not talking but they look normal
30:24and yet they're not normal.
30:26Because deep inside, they're probably boiling.
30:28Deep inside, they're just waiting
30:30for, you know,
30:32unnecessary eruption.
30:34Especially
30:36your bosses.
30:38Maybe you think
30:40your boss is happy
30:42but he's smiling.
30:44That kind of smile.
30:46Or probably
30:48for no
30:50reason at all, your boss
30:52all of a sudden blasts you.
30:54You might wonder,
30:56why did my boss get angry?
30:58I mean,
31:00there are a lot of repercussions, right?
31:02You may lose a person
31:04because a person may not be happy anymore
31:06simply because the one on top
31:08or the superior
31:10has some problems.
31:12I mean, that can affect.
31:14Especially now, we talked about this
31:16in the past vlog.
31:18It's hard to find
31:20people.
31:22It's hard to find people.
31:24People are free now
31:26to have their own business.
31:28They rather work from home.
31:30But again, looking for qualified
31:32people, I think this is one
31:34benefit that
31:36an entrepreneur who undergoes your program
31:38of becoming the
31:40joyful entrepreneur
31:42and something that
31:44you can spread that campaign
31:46all over.
31:48So, is there an age limit
31:50for this, Jordan?
31:52That's a good question, sir Buts.
31:54This is for everybody.
31:56At the age of 7 years old,
31:58the child has already
32:00gone through something.
32:02Even that, you can just release.
32:04But of course, we're talking about
32:06entrepreneurs.
32:08If you have a business,
32:10even if you're in high school or elementary,
32:12you can join.
32:14But of course, the seasoned
32:16entrepreneurs, you know, one time,
32:18I talked to someone in USAID
32:20in one of the summits
32:22that I attended lately.
32:24He said, for micro and
32:26small business owners, this is your program.
32:28And I told him that
32:30this program is for
32:32everyone, even if they're
32:34medium and large scale businesses.
32:36There are those who went through
32:38less stress because they have
32:40all the people and the help
32:42that they need. But the point is,
32:44those who are already inside
32:46of us, those with deep roots,
32:48need to be released. Because as you said,
32:50sir, eventually,
32:52it's like a volcano exploding.
32:54You know, sir, that's what's sad.
32:56Entrepreneurs don't know
32:58that their
33:00maintenance for their
33:02cardiovascular issues,
33:04the high blood pressure,
33:06or the sudden
33:08heart attack,
33:10the source of that is
33:12stress. And stress,
33:14as simple as stress, this is already mental health.
33:16Oh, that's a little
33:18careful, right?
33:20A lot of
33:22people,
33:24let's just talk to
33:26Dr. Moso,
33:28who can also be featured here,
33:30that there are a lot of
33:32children,
33:34you know, the
33:36sickness of the old is now becoming
33:38the sickness of the young.
33:40Diabetes,
33:42heart problem,
33:44mental health,
33:46right?
33:48So, Jordan,
33:50there are two or three
33:52takeaways that you can say
33:54that you can share right now
33:56with our viewers.
33:58For those who are planning to do
34:00a business or launch
34:02their career,
34:04so they can start on the right foot,
34:06what can you recommend?
34:08Well, first,
34:10sir Butch,
34:12if you can,
34:14start now,
34:16regardless of your situation,
34:18even if you're a full-time
34:20employee,
34:22you still have to start working
34:24on your dreams, your goals,
34:26right? Because
34:28business won't be successful
34:30the moment you decide to become a full-time business
34:32owner. It doesn't work
34:34that way. So, the sooner you can
34:36start, you have to do that. That's
34:38first. Second,
34:40based on my experience,
34:42I'm not ashamed to say that
34:44at some point in my
34:46life,
34:48I was scolded by people
34:50around me, particularly my employees
34:52because of my mental
34:54health illnesses.
34:56And there are ways
34:58to avoid this.
35:00You can still be joyful
35:02and at the same time successful
35:04in your business. All you have
35:06to do really is first to become
35:08aware of it. That's second,
35:10sir Butch. And finally, sir,
35:12let's not forget
35:14regardless of your religion,
35:16to always talk to our
35:18Creator, to our Lord God.
35:20Because He places us here.
35:22Everyone has a mission
35:24in running
35:26our lives. If you're
35:28in the business,
35:30you have more
35:32influence
35:34and the industry
35:36will be better, possibly because of you.
35:38So, let's not forget
35:40to always ask
35:42for guidance.
35:44And most importantly, sir Butch,
35:46I'll just share quickly, as you
35:48say your prayer, please don't just
35:50complain or ask for something.
35:52The most important and beautiful
35:54prayer is to thank
35:56the things you have
35:58and the people
36:00around you. So, it's
36:02the spirit of being grateful
36:04to all the
36:06provisions that He has been giving
36:08you.
36:10It's beautiful what you said
36:12because it's enough
36:14to complain. Maybe God
36:16can hear your complaint.
36:18He gave you life.
36:20Today,
36:22I woke you up again and
36:24you're still breathing.
36:26But the small things may
36:28be small to us
36:30but it's really big
36:32to a lot of
36:34people. Especially
36:36whatever you have,
36:38probably you're blessed but for those
36:40who do not have what they're
36:42supposed to have.
37:08I'm sure
37:20you will be taking that up.
37:22The joyful entrepreneur.
37:26And again, Jordan,
37:28maraming inang oras na
37:30ginugol ko na sayo
37:32para may
37:34share natin sa lahat na mga tao
37:36na to join you.
37:38Really to join you and really
37:40create this kind of
37:42evolution
37:44of having joyful
37:46entrepreneur. Hindi yun nakasimangot
37:48ng mga entrepreneur.
37:50E malas daw yun pag nakasimangot
37:52ka eh. Wala nga eh.
37:54So, ganun lang.
37:56So again, Jordan, maraming maraming
37:58salamat and I really
38:00wish you all the luck and
38:02thank you for bringing to light
38:04to our blog
38:06about what mental
38:08health and what it should be
38:10done and really sharing your program.
38:12Okay? Thank you, sir.
38:14Thank you. Thank you, Jordan. Thank you.
38:16Thank you for your Sunday
38:18edition of the
38:20Business Mentor Talks.
38:22Thank you. Okay. Bye-bye.
