In this agenda will be objectives, priorities, data analysis, alternatives, pros + cons, and making the final decision. However, how can you open up sentences in these six categories? In today’s episode, I’ll give you a dozen ways to do so, along with hearing a completely discombobulated (confusing) meeting with constant interruptions.

Business English Podcast | Corporate Finance | Different Ways to Write Late Payers
Frustrating experiences with late payers can be time-consuming and costly. There have been times that institutions here in Thailand would pay 1-12 months late. I, on the other hand, receive half payment upfront for bigger projects (over 50 hours) and the other half once the second-half begins. Now, if they don’t pay, they don’t get training. It’s a general principle. In 2019, there was a 12th grade student who didn’t pay me for the last 2 hours of teaching and I constantly had to bug her. In 2016, a university student wanted to pay at the END of the course.
All of this was unbelievably laughable and a learning experience. And so now, you MUST pay before class/course or forget about it.
But if they don’t pay, how can you follow up? Here’s a three-step process that you can adapt to your personal business + accounts payable.

Arsenio’s Business English Podcast | Season 8: Episode 6 | Voicemails & Deadlines
Voicemails could be tricky for note-taking. We live in a world now that we don’t get many voicemails, but instead we get Whatsapp voice messages, or other messages on other social media platforms. So, when you do get them, sometimes we listen for 1-5 minutes and can’t remember anything. So, it’s time to prepare for effective note-taking!
Also, deadlines! I went on a rant, and it was beautiful.

Arsenio’s Business English Podcast | Season 7: Episode 31 | Dealing with Emotional Blackmail, Threats & Rudeness
OMG! Have any of you ever been threatened in your job? I still remember, as I’ve said so many times before, that particular Saturday when a headteacher (even without power) said to me, “if you want to continue working here, we’re going to have to have a meeting.”
I had shivers go down my spine and heard, “Arsenio, you’re worth way more than this.”
I went home, started looking for new condos and applied for new jobs in Bangkok.
I quit in my mind and I ultimately left the job two months later.
If someone EVER threatens your job, YOU DESERVE BETTER. I don’t give a damn about the dire work situation, you put that 2-4 week notice in right there while looking them dead in the eye (idiom in regards to staring them directly in their eye), and move on.
You deserve SOOOO much better.
In today’s podcast, I help you navigate rudeness, threats, and emotional blackmail in the workplace!

What I learned was diversification, whether it’s your job, multiple streams of income, and even assets….it’s unbelievably important.
