My Story
Year 2010. This was the year that my first child was born and life has never been the same ever since.
After that life changing moment, I decided to be a stay at home mom because I have always wanted to be present for my kids. However, I missed having my own income and the sense of freedom that it provides me. I hate the feeling that can't contribute to the household, I didn't like the fact that I didn't have my own money that I can call my own, I felt helpless that I didn't have my own retirement account and it sucks that I can't afford to visit my family in the Philippines as often I'd like! And I can't even buy a gift for my husband without him paying the bill for it. Lol.
Kidding aside, I just knew that I needed to make a living even if I was a stay-at-home mom. I've seen divorce and death happen way too many times and I just did not like being 100% dependent on another person. I thought about what would happen to me and my children if something really bad happens? I remember then that my mother used to tell me that women should always have their own money no matter what, so you can live life on your own terms.
Yes, it was very frustrating indeed and I was in this dilemma for several years. Do I go to back to work and have all my earnings go to daycare instead, and miss my children as well? That didn't sound practical and did not make sense to me.
Fortunately after a few years, I finally figured out how to make money from home and become my own boss instead while still being present for my children. And guess what? Being an online entrepreneur was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done! To be honest, entrepreneurship is not easy, but it's not rocket science either which means anyone can do it if they are willing to put the time and effort in whatever business they want to pursue.
Let me tell you my story:
I started my very first online business venture back in 2014. At that time, I had no prior business background and I knew nothing about the internet except using Google and Facebook. I was not techie at all but I realized that with the right mindset, everything is figureoutable.
Knowing that Google is my friend, I put some serious effort looking into learning how to make money online. After extensive research and sleepless nights, I found an online course and from there, I learned everything from building my own website, getting suppliers and running Google ads.
Less than two years after I launched my own Shopify e-commerce store from scratch, I was able to sell it for 20x revenue multiple! I had no idea that I was building a real asset, even though I had no physical store or inventory on hand. We live in the age of the internet which makes right now the best time to be an entrepreneur!
Did I mention that you don't need a degree to be successful in online business?
Yup, that's right.
Over the years, I fell in love with different online businesses and ended up doing a few of them. Surrounding myself with the right community and business mentors really helped me build those businesses. They were all great opportunities in growing my finances with each business bringing income as well as challenges. But over the years, one business model really stood out because it generates leveraged income and if done for the long term, can be a legacy business as well.
With hard work and persistence, I am now able to earn a full time income which means I'm able to contribute to the household, save up for retirement, have money for family travels, give back to church and financially support the advocacies that I believe in. But what I love the most is that I have the time freedom to still spend the day however I want with the people I love - which is the most valuable thing to me. So I am very grateful for the internet and the opportunities that it gave me. It empowered me to take control of my future and it looks like the future is truly bright.
