Who knew payroll could be this dynamic?!! 3 words: Who knew payroll could be this dynamic?!! 3 words: widgets + wages + daily. You heard it here first! @bridgepayday.ph is know for Accurate + Secure + On-Time Payroll. That’s our foundational value proposition. On this strong platform we are taking the lead in integrating with 3rd party value added services, providing payroll liquidity, and empowering daily payouts. These three areas are game changers and can only be achieved on top of accuracy, security, and timeliness. We are very excited for where payroll is going and the greater role it will pay in helping people live more secure and more enjoyable lives. 📸 OJ Serrano #payrollimpact #payrollleader #payrollprocessing #payrollgateway #socialimpact #socialgood #socialdevelopment #technology #hrtech #hrtechnology #humanresources #peopletech #peopletechnology #dailywages
Latest on dbonifacio.com: Think Differently About Latest on dbonifacio.com: Think Differently About Success “Rethink what a successful year for you and your team looks like. Don’t succeed at achieving goals that allow competition to create more value. Don’t succeed at predicting a mediocre future when you can fail yet still create massive value. Don’t succeed in feeling like a success yet making very little gains and for very few people (Like only yourself!). Instead, challenge yourself, stretch yourself, force yourself. Put yourself in situations that ask more than you think you’re capable of giving. Go out and attempt really great, really meaningful, really difficult but valuable things. Even if you fail at achieving your impossible dreams, you will achieve what really matters: a great soul.” #blog #successblog #businessblog #successtip #successcoaching #successmindset #newyear #mindsetofgreatness #mindset #growthmindset #spiritualgrowth #soulgrowth #excellence #largerthanlife #bhags #greatgoals
Reading through my old entries: “In places where Reading through my old entries: “In places where everything is foreign to you, and you’re foreign to everything, you learn to feel with your heart and you learn to comprehend with your soul. You find that the world is no longer just brown, black, or white, but also reds, and pinks, and ochre, with cerulean, and light. And in the complexities of what’s happening in today’s world, it’s nice to be able to step back and be reminded that somewhere the accordion still rocks, and the sea still speaks, that sons still dance with their gypsy mothers, and that people say I love you in a million different ways.” - 2008 📸 Tom Byron #lisbon #lisboa #portugal #coast #memories #journal #journalentry #nostalgia #nostalgic #seathoughts #seatherapy #seaside #stories #shortstories #lastnight #lastday #travel #europe #foreignplaces #beautifulplaces #colors #rainbowcolors #light #love #gypsies
Choose your hard. @workbase.ph CEO and @bridgesout Choose your hard. @workbase.ph CEO and @bridgesoutheast COO, @iamericwong, reminded me of this truth. Success is hard but so is failure. So choose wisely. Waking up early is hard. So is running out of time. Taking a risk is hard. So is realizing you should B stepped out. Going against mediocrity is hard. So is getting mediocre results. It’s all hard. So choose wisely. #leadershipquotes #elevateyourmindset #choosewisely #realitycheck #leadership #ventureleadership #startupleadership #businessquotes #businessleadership #discipline #courageousleadership #commitment #bridge #bridgethinking #connecter #greatnessthinking #greatness
Minimalist Fitness. You don’t need a lot of spac Minimalist Fitness. You don’t need a lot of space and lot of equipment. Like the rest of life, many times what you have is all you need, and it’s those who can maximize what they have - not those who have a lot - who succeed. Calisthenics, Kettle Bells, Jump Rope, Sprints, Boxing, Resistance Bands, Yoga, and a lot of walking is pretty much my workout mix. While I miss having a nice gym (particularly the sauna and ice bath!), I enjoy being able to wake-up and go straight to a workout, finish, jump in the shower, and head to work. #homeworkout #minimalistfitness #homegym #fitnessathome #calisthenics #kettlebell #kettlebellworkout #yoga #tinyspaces #parallettesworkout #parallettes #jumprope #fitnessjourney #fitnessworkflow #bodyweightworkout #mindbody #mindbodyconnection #minimalism #executivefitness

Mindful running. While I was running, I thought a Mindful running. While I was running, I thought about just how much this place, Bonifacio Global City, has changed. 15-16 years ago, I used to be able to run across wide open fields and not bump into people. Now it’s an amazing and busy community. 14-16 years ago I used to eat only one meal of 4 eggs, a protein shake, and a salad. 14-16 years ago I used to wonder where my next paycheck would come from. 14-16 years ago I used to worry whether I would make my mortgage payments. 14-16 years ago I used to uselessly stress over the wrong relationships. 14-16 years ago I used to feel like my life and career decisions were so wrong and that I my trajectory would end in failure. 14-16 years ago, I stopped listening to my doubts because there were just way too many, and I took control over my thoughts. I would decide what I would think. I would decide how I think about it. 14-16 years later, there are still many challenges, familiar and new, but the once crippling fear is gone, replaced by an incredible hope and boundless optimism that the future is bright, that there exists unimaginable beauty waiting to be discovered, and all of life’s hardships are worth it for those who won’t give up. . . . #chinesenewyear #bonifacioglobalcity #bonifacio #taguig #manila #philippines🇵🇭 #philippines #metromanila #davidbonifacio #successmindset #successquotes #growthmindset #runningman #runningmotivation #nightrunning #fridaynight #time #timemachine #lessons #lifelessons
Have conversations not just meetings. Enjoyed a Have conversations not just meetings. Enjoyed a candid conversation this morning with @iamericwong @jannadeguzie @jj.jmz and @fsparks30 on managing their respective workloads, teams, and ventures. I came away with so many insights and took a lot of notes. I’ve really come to appreciate the insights we pick up from simple, casual, open conversations. It made me realize that I want less meetings and more conversations, less agendas and more connections. Organizations, teams, and leaders are going to have to be very deliberate and mindful of how they’re going to direct and develop their teams in a post-Covid world. They have to be very resourceful and creative, and more original too, not asking “What are the best practices?” but “What are the best practices for us?” Not relying on old conventions and biases, but looking to new and better ways. You discover all of that from really listening to and understanding others in conversations. . . . . . #businessideas #businessmanagement #businessleader #businessteam #teammanagement #business #management #businessconversation #teamwisdom #teaminsight #businessquotes #businessprinciples #principles #leadership #leadershipquotes #leadershipcoach #DB #davidbonifacio #greatness #mindsetofgreatness #mindset #successmindset #clubhouse #igbusiness #instagram
I love this painting. And I love the story of how I love this painting. And I love the story of how it came to me. This is part of a larger 5ft x 4ft painting I found in storage gathering dust. As soon as I saw it, I asked if I could have it and took it home. Even in its dirty state, I really liked its depth, how it invited me to enter the painting and get lost in its woods. Cleaning off the dust revealed brilliant colors and layers of details. During the days when I gave away most of my possessions, I would sit on the floor and follow the path into the trees to escape from the pressures of the day. But the most important detail of this painting is who the artist is: my mother. I thought about that earlier this evening. Now that I’m a parent myself, it’s easy to wonder whether we’re doing a good job. It’s very comforting to be reminded that even from our dusty forgotten work, our sons and daughters may draw some value. We just need to keep waking, working, and painting from our heart. . . . #familypainting #painterfamily #artistfamily #acrylicpaint #acryliccolors #familystories #parentingtips #parentingstories #artistsofinstagram #creativefamily #fathersheart #colorfulwoods #collectorspiece #paintingcollection #collectorfamily #familyinspiration #motherandson #motherhood #paintings
