Most of us wish we had more than 24 hours in a day. It could be that you have way too much on your plate. Yet, more often than not, it's a matter of "unconscious planning" in order to do proper time management.

So your job requires you to travel a lot. Indeed, the way we do business has changed in this millennium. People are not confined to their offices, and they often need to travel to various sub offices within the country or other parts of the world. If you’re a traveling entrepreneur, you may already be used to all the hassles of travel but if you’re a newbie to travelling for work purposes, you may need to arm yourself with tricks and skills to make your work travel hassle-free. Instead of the usual traveling light tips and ideas, here are a few tips upon landing in a new location.

  When I was very young, about three years old, my Mom was sent to attend training sessions in other countries and all over the Philippines. Basically, it was my Dad who took care care of me then. I can also recall spending time with my Lolo and Lola in San Pablo City whenever my Dad needed to work and someone had to take care of me.

  I was always surrounded by men, and I loved it!   My doting lawyer grandfather made me feel like a VIP all the time;  my uncles fell for the  charms of five-year-old me; my father made me feel invincible because he was there to protect me; and my seven crazy brothers made me laugh, cry, and trained me to be strong (imagine a life with seven strong-willed boys!).  Oh, these men!  Without them, my life would be boring; because of them, I have grappled with life’s many uncertainties.

Titled “Men Of Connected Women,” this series pays tribute to the wonderful men who've made an impact in our lives. These are the men who've inspired us, helped us, mentored us, raised us. Because behind every woman is a man who has made her who she is today.   I had known my “Daddy Loves,” “Papa Naro,”and “Daddy June” or June Marzo, as a friendly and thoughtful man when we were just friends. He’s the person who will sacrifice in order for you to have what you want or survive.   And that was the role he played with his family, starting from Nanay Letty, to his siblings—Luis, Teresa, Rodel, Nathan, Jack, and Angelo. He was a father and brother to his family. Making the night to into a day to augment his family’s needs.
