3 Things I learned on My First Day in AIM

This week is very significant for me in my blogging/ internet marketing career. It is my first time to teach in the Internet Marketing elective in the AIM MBA class and the first day of Maven Secrets.

Here are the 3 Things I learned on My First Day in AIM:

1. I'm now a professor...
I felt old at the same time honored. The label of  "professor" or "guru", I think needs to be earned and since I'm just starting, I'm here to prove that I'm worthy of the title. I like to be Professor X of the X-Men who nurture young people to enhance their  natural capabilities.  (Not the stereotyped image of an old power tripping professor)

What did the Pilot Class say About the Maven Secrets Program?

I got a lot of questions about the Maven Program specifically about what the program is about. Here is a short video on what the Maven Secrets Pilot Class say about the program. I revealed for the first time the final survey results from the first 90-day Maven Secret class held last February 2009. These are the brutally honest feedback from the pilot class.  (Just click on the play button in the video above.)

Frequently Asked Question About the Maven Secrets Program

My First Day in AIM

Happy Easter!  Our family stayed in Manila except on Good Friday when we immersed into the Good Friday tradition of San Fernando Pampanga. I noticed that most people spent their time outside Manila. Where did you go during the long Holy Week?

We discovered a lot of foodie goodies over the long holidays and I'll share with them to you soon :)

It is my first day teaching in AIM for its pilot EXCELL course: Winning Internet Strategies. I'm excited and I do hope I can impart my knowledge effectively.
