How a woman got her sweet taste of success.

A Filipina who used to be an expat in Dubai is now living the life of a millionaire by selling crème caramel, and nothing else.

According to Entrepreneur Philippines, former Dubai-based expat Princess San Diego ventured into 14 different businesses before she found success selling leche flan (caramel pudding). Before that, she tried selling barbecue, opening a restaurant and even selling gadgets online. Despite her best efforts, those ventures failed.
What was to become her most profitable venture came when she least expected it. While in her kitchen, she experimented with mixing Japanese matcha (green tea) into leche flan. The result was a dish that went viral after she shared the creation online. She then started to receive inquiries about the dish and it was in that moment where she decided that this would be her next business venture.

She started off only selling 25 tins but by the end of 2016 she was already earning 20,000 pesos (Dh1,300 approx) every single week. 

After this, she partnered with several resellers to get reach more customers. This resulted in earnings amounting to 40,000 pesos (Dh2,700 approx) not per week - but for ever reseller she has collaborated with.

She earned her first million from selling caramel puddings last year. "Last year, I earned my first million from the business," San Diego said during a franchising event held in the Philippines. It was also during this event when she unveiled her plans to open her own café and take a gander at selling pastries

Tata Sumo

Every day top executives of Tata Motors used to take lunch together but from some days, Sumant Moolgaokar used to take his car and go out during Lunch Hours and come back as soon as the Lunch Break was over. There was a grapevine that he is offered lunch at a Five Star Hotel by some dealers of Tata. One day when some executives followed him during Lunch Break, they were surprised to see that he stopped his car at one Highway Dhaba, ordered food for him and sat with the drivers of trucks who were eating food at that dhaba. He discussed with them what was good and what was bad in a Tata Truck, jotted down and came back to his office. He used to improve upon the experiences of drivers. Such was Sumant Moolgaokar's zeal for improving the Tata Vehicles. Tata Sumo is the biggest corporate tribute paid by any company to it's executive. Su stands for Sumant and Mo stands for Moolgaokar in this brand name. Today is the death anniversary of Sumant Moolgaokar. Sincere Tributes to Sumant Moolgaokar (Died 1st Jul'89).

11 daily habits of self-made billionaires anyone can adopt

11 daily habits anyone can adopt of self-made billionaires

They meditate



Science says that meditation has a number of mental and physical health benefits, from improving memory to boosting the immune system.

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, told The Huffington Post, "Meditation, more than anything in my life, was the biggest ingredient of whatever success I've had."

Dalio is not alone. Jack Dorsey, CEO of both Twitter and Square, and media mogul Oprah Winfrey say that they practice meditation daily.


They're charitable


<p>"The world class set their sights on impacting the world with their wealth," Siebold writes. "Some do it through philanthropy, others through business or various financial vehicles."</p><p>A handful of billionaires have taken to philanthropy, including founder and CEO of Bloomberg Media Michael Bloomberg, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/most-generous-people-in-the-world-2015-10?op=0?utm_source=msn&utm_medium=referral#/#11-michael-bloomberg-10">who has donated $3 billion over his lifetime</a>.</p><p>And then there's the <a href="http://givingpledge.org/">Giving Pledge</a>, which Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates created in order to invite the world's wealthiest people to pledge more than half of their wealth to charitable causes either during their lives or in their wills. Some have even pledged to <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/billionaires-giving-away-their-money-2015-10?utm_source=msn&utm_medium=referral">give away more than 99% of their fortunes</a>.</p>  

"The world class set their sights on impacting the world with their wealth," Siebold writes. "Some do it through philanthropy, others through business or various financial vehicles."

A handful of billionaires have taken to philanthropy, including founder and CEO of Bloomberg Media Michael Bloomberg, who has donated $3 billion over his lifetime.

And then there's the Giving Pledge, which Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates created in order to invite the world's wealthiest people to pledge more than half of their wealth to charitable causes either during their lives or in their wills. Some have even pledged to give away more than 99% of their fortunes.

There may be some truth behind the age-old adage: The early bird gets the worm.

The wealthiest people tend to be early risers. Take Jack Dorsey, who wakes up at 5:00 a.m. to meditate and work out. Or Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, who wakes up at 5:45 a.m. to exercise before starting his workday.

Branson and Dorsey aren't the only successful people who wake up before the sun. In his five-year study of rich people, author Thomas C. Corley found that nearly 50% of them woke up at least three hours before their workday actually began.


They stick to routines

John Paul DeJoria

A hallmark of highly successful people is their dedication to ritual.

Take John Paul DeJoria, cofounder of Patron tequila and Paul Mitchell hair products, who starts every day with five minutes of quiet reflection.

"Doesn't matter where I'm at, which home I'm in, or what hotel room I'm visiting," he says. "The very second I wake up, I stay in bed for about five minutes and just be."


They live below their means

<p>Just because they have billions in the bank doesn't mean they have to indulge in overspending — in fact, some of the world's wealthiest people <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/frugal-habits-of-the-worlds-richest-people-2015-9/?utm_source=msn&utm_medium=referral">choose to live frugally</a>.</p><p>As <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/frugal-habits-of-the-worlds-richest-people-2015-9/?utm_source=msn&utm_medium=referral">Murray Newlands wrote at Entrepreneur</a>, "Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, famously drove around in a 1979 Ford F150 pickup truck ...

Just because they have billions in the bank doesn't mean they have to indulge in overspending — in fact, some of the world's wealthiest people choose to live frugally.

Then there's legendary investor Warren Buffett, who is notably down to earth — he still lives in the same $31,500 home, and chooses a flip phone over a smartphone.


They pursue their passion

 <p>"You've got to find what you love," Apple cofounder Steve Jobs said during his <a href="http://news.stanford.edu/news/2005/june15/jobs-061505.html">2005 commencement address</a> to the graduates of Stanford University.

They read

Many of the world's most successful people are avid readers.

As Business Insider's Shana Lebowitz wrote:

Investing legend Warren Buffett reportedly spends about 80% of his day reading, and continues to include book recommendations in his annual shareholder letters.

In 2015, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg resolved to read a book every two weeks ... Media mogul Oprah Winfrey selects a book every month for readers to discuss online as part of "Oprah's Book Club 2.0," and when tech billionaire Elon Musk is asked how he learned to build rockets, he reportedly answers, "I read books."

The richest people focus on earning — so it comes as no surprise that they develop additional streams of income.

Richard Branson, the billionaire chair of the Virgin Group, epitomizes this habit, Corley explains in "Change Your Habits, Change Your Life." Branson has overseen about 500 companies and his brand is on somewhere between 200 and 300 of them.

Branson "puts the rich habit of having multiple streams of income on steroids," Corley writes. "His desire to expand the Virgin brand is really a desire to expand his streams of income. Branson learned very early on that this rich habit creates the most wealth."

Along the same lines, billionaires tend to be their own bosses. They're typically self-employed and determine the size of their own paycheck.

Mark Zuckerberg has been working for himself since age 19, when he first launched Facebook as a Harvard sophomore in 2004. Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel, who is the youngest billionaire in the world, had a similar path — he created the popular photo-sharing app with two of his former Stanford classmates and has been his own boss ever since.

"It's not that there aren't world-class performers who punch a time clock for a paycheck, but for most this is the slowest path to prosperity, promoted as the safest," says self-made millionaire Steve Siebold, who has also studied over 1,200 wealthy individuals. "The great ones know self-employment is the fastest road to wealth."


They exercise


Mark Cuban Rex Features


Highly successful people don't just push themselves in the office — they push themselves physically, outside of the office.

Mark Cuban, "Shark Tank" investor and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, does cardio for at least an hour, six to seven days a week, he told The Dallas Morning News.

Branson credits exercise for giving him at least four additional hours of productivity each day. Science concurs: Working out can boost your memory, concentration, and mental sharpness.

They hang out with other successful people



<p>The wealthiest people like to stand next to the smartest person in the room, <a href="http://www.jamesaltucher.com/2015/10/eventual-millionaires/">notes author and podcast host James Altucher</a>: "Harold Ramis did it (Bill Murray).

Motivating Inspiring Information

If you want to go far, go together. 


Feeling stuck? It might be time to team up



Bill Gates is regarded as one of the most successful men in the world, but most don't acknowledge that he didn't take his first steps alone. The name “Microsoft" and key knowledge needed to start the company came from co-founder Paul Allen, Gates’ friend and fellow computer enthusiast since the two were in high school. 

Without each other’s support, their venture might not have resulted in the multi-billion dollar, 41 year old tech giant we know today. 

If you want to go fast, go alone.
