A very timely call to action👍

THE JOMAG TAKE #086 – THE WARTIME PLAYBOOK

Business as it really is.

⸻

Most businesses don’t fail because of a crisis.

They fail because they react too slow.

Oil goes up.
Costs go up.
Demand shifts.

And what do most people do?

They wait.

Wait for clarity.
Wait for stability.
Wait for things to go back to normal.

Tell themselves…

“Lilipas din ’to.”

⸻

Let me give you something uncomfortable.

I love crisis.

Because crisis is honest.

In good times… everybody looks smart.
In bad times…

We find out who’s pretending.

⸻

NASA GERA NA TAYO. (WE ARE AT WAR)

⸻

Potato Corner didn’t grow in perfect conditions.

Asian crisis.
Forex issues.
Port problems.
COVID.
Internal conflicts.

Every time, we had two choices:

Blame the situation…
Or redesign the business.

Most people choose to blame.

⸻

Crisis is not the problem.

- Crisis is the filter.

It removes weak thinking.
It exposes weak systems.
It rewards clarity.

⸻

If I were sitting on your board today…

- I would call for a reset.

From a regular board…
to a wartime board.

⸻

Regular board:

* Reports
* Discussion
* Next meeting

- Slow decisions. No urgency.

⸻

Wartime or crisis board:

* Fast decisions
* Adjust quickly
* Execute immediately
* Strong accountability

- Meet more often. Decide faster. Move now.

⸻

And yes—get Independent Directors. At the Potato Corner Board I call it the Crisis Board. This is where we get Independent Directors who are “war/crisis” veterans. Not for decoration.

⸻

THE 3 Mastery Pillars of Entrepreneurship
You need to master these three things:

⸻

1. Mastery of Self

Control yourself under pressure.

If you panic…
- your business multiplies that panic.

⸻

2. Mastery of Enterprise

Fix your systems.

Know your business deeply.

- Don’t guess. Don’t delegate thinking.

Lead it.

⸻

3. Mastery of Environment

Understand the battlefield.

- Customers are changing
- Competitors are adjusting

If you don’t see it…

- You will be late.

⸻

THE WARTIME PLAYBOOK

Because in wartime…

- You don’t need theories.

- You need a playbook.

A playbook is what you use
- when pressure hits.

⸻

PLAY 1: REPACKAGE VALUE

Same product.
Different story.
Higher value.

Nothing changed.

But everything changed in perception.

Don’t change your product first.

Change how people see it.

B1G1.
Unli.
All you can eat.
Value.

⸻

PLAY 2: HERO PRODUCT. A Flagship Product or Service.

Don’t sell everything.

- Sell one thing people remember.

If everything is important…

- Nothing stands out.

- Find your one thing.

- Make it undeniable.

Brand and Product/Brand association separates the bad and the good.

⸻

PLAY 3: DESIGN FOR VIRAL

If it’s not shareable…

- It’s invisible.

People don’t just buy.

- They show.

Ask yourself:

- “Would someone post this… without being paid?”

⸻

PLAY 4: TURN COST INTO STRATEGY

Your biggest cost…

- can become your biggest advantage.

Most people cut cost.

- Smart operators redesign around it.

Don’t fight cost.

- Use it to force better decisions.

⸻

PLAY 5: BUILD SYSTEMS

If it depends on you…

- It will not scale.

Great businesses don’t rely on people.

- They rely on systems.

Turn what you do…

- into something others can repeat.

⸻

A playbook is not theory.

- It’s what you do when pressure hits.

⸻

Repackage value.
Focus on a hero.
Design for viral.
Turn cost into strategy.
Build systems.

⸻

Pressure doesn’t break great businesses.

It reveals their playbook.

Always have your Brands protected...

Registering your business name is an important step in setting up your single proprietorship business, but it does NOT automatically protect your brand.

A trademark protects the identity of your business. It gives you the exclusive right to use these marks and helps prevent others from using confusingly similar ones.

If you’ve invested time and effort into building your business brand, make sure it’s protected. Trademark registration is a key step in safeguarding your business identity.

Important reminder👍

Ayon sa BMBE Act of 2002, ang mga registered Barangay Micro Business Enterprise (BMBE) ay maaaring magpasahod ng emplayado nang mas mababa sa minimum wage.

Mga dapat tandaan:
- Kapag mayroon nang BMBE Certificate of Authority ang negosyo, automatically exempted na ito mula sa minimum wage law.
- Dapat pa ring makatanggap ang BMBE employee ng mga government-mandated benefits, tulad ng social security at health care benefits (e.g. PhilHealth, SSS, Pag-ibig, etc.)
- Ang minimum wage law exemption ay applicable lamang sa mga empleyadong na-hire pagkatapos mag-register ng negosyo bilang BMBE.
