"It's not always being white or black. Sometimes you need to be 'gray'..."-
—Jose Magsaysay, Potato Corner

Hi Subscriber—

When I first heard about this "being gray thing," I thought Jomag (as people call him) was only kidding me. All our lives, we're told to be black or to be white. The world has advised us that there's no in-between. I was commissioned to write the book that will tell the entire story of Potato Corner. I must admit that it's not always that a person can actually have this kind of opportunity.

I first met Jomag at the Manila Polo Club in 2007 during the planning session of the Philippine Franchise Association. We were on the same table during lunch. But what is "being gray" all about? Well, it's simply about flexibility. You have to adjust to the changing times, changing needs, changing market, changing world.

When Potato Corner started, the motivation was not dead serious to one day become a household name in terms of how fries are made and flavored. One partner wanted to buy a new cellphone, one more wanted to give more to his family.

They had to be gray to see what's the best road to take. After 15 years since it started, their being gray paid off. They had a lot of adjustments on how the business is made and managed and Potato Corner maintained its prestige as the "mother of the Philippine food cart business." How flexible are you? Do you adapt with the changing times? How frequent do you upgrade your skills and harness your talent? How do you prepare for the next bend of the road? Are you really working on something or you just go with the flow? Most of success seminars tell you what to do, but Tachniques teaches you why you have to do it...

Jomag is right. If you want to succeed, you need to be gray—open to more partnerships, opportunities, and options. Don't settle for what it available. Instead, identify what you want and be open about its unlimited possibility Subscriber, you can change the way you're living your life and you can start changing it now...
