“People become successful the minute they decide to.” - Harvey Mackay
Sabi nga nila, madaling mangarap pero mahirap magsikap.
Madali din gumawa ng mga plano pero mahirap i-execute or isagawa.
It’s definitely not easy, pero posible lalo at willing kang magtiyaga at magsikap.
I believe anything is possible as long you believe in yourself.
And if you love what you’re doing, you will be successful.
Don’t be afraid to fail as you work towards your success.
Remember, failure is not fatal but an opportunity for you to learn and grow further.
It’s the courage to continue despite setbacks that really counts.
Success isn’t just about what you’ve accomplished in your life, it’s about what you inspire others to do.

Notable Quotes
Journey to Freelancing
Q&A
Determine your goal amount. Once you've determined your goal, package your services so that your clients don't just buy what they need. Then, decide on the price of your package. Consider how many clients you can work with when determining the cost of your package. Then divide the target amount by the number of clients you can cater to and charge them the same amount. As a result, your goal will seem more achievable in comparison to when you only consider the target amount.
When I first started, I was only self-learning. I was able to close a client but at a very low rate. I learned the proper strategy for marketing myself as a freelancer when I enrolled in courses. The coaches have already gone through it, so they have mastered the process. Actually, I took a lot of courses because they helped me improve my services and my learnings, and I won't have to go through trial-and-error because they've already been proven and tested by the coaches. I admire the coaches because they share their knowledge in order for others to grow.

Can I ask a question to Ms Harrah? How did you equip yourself when you started freelancing? Is it a MUST to enroll in a course to be able to get ito freelancing?
There are times na kulang ako sa tulog when I have 3 clients, if mawala yung isang client may 50k pa. So when I closed the 3rd client nag quit na talaga ako sa 9-5 job ko - Harrah
Pano time management having 4 clients, kaya ba ito in a day like 4 hrs per client?
Nasanay po kasi ako sa 10 yrs ko sa corporate job. Yung every 15th and 30th.. Kasi baka hindi stable yung freelancing- Harrah
Yung nag-aral ka as chemist pagkatapos mag shift ka into freelancing as social media manager, hindi po madali - Harrah
I still can go back naman sa corporate if gusto ko pang i proceed ang pagiging chemist ko, pero yung freelancing kasi andito na eh. Baka pag pinalagpas ko siya mawala yung opportunity- Harrah
You really have to struggle a lot psychology in transitioning from your corporate to freelancing- Sir Phoenix
Question: Curious po ako. Ms Harrah, more on SMM tasks po ba ang included sa package ng services nyo? Or merong outside SM management tasks, for example eCom? Thanks.

"I started freelancing last 2019 pa, and yung drive ko to start is because I have my second baby, alam ko na maraming gagastusin pag may bagong baby, and nakita ko din na there's a lot of of opportunities sa freelancing, kaya kahit I'm in my corporate job, nagstrive pa rin ako maging freelancer. So napagsabay ko yung corporate jobs ko, and freelancing opportunities na meron ako. Ngayon po fast forward, meron na po akong agency, marami na po akong projects na natapos. More on nakafocus po ako sa Social Media Management. May clients po ako sa agency and I still have my own personal clients."
"Yung drive ko po kasi talaga to start freelancing, parang namotivate ako when I see people earning 100k/month, and full time freelancer na sila. Nag time management po talaga ako. Kailangan ko iwan yung dati kong hobbies, like yung panonood ng mga Kdramas, mga Netflix. Sinet aside ko po talaga sila and nagstart po ako sa motivation ko to start freelancing, yung dream ko talaga yung goals ko for my kids and families. Then dun na nagstart na ma-eliminate ko yung alam kong magiging hindrances sakin. So nakafocus talaga ako na every weekend, puro freelancing (activities) lang yung gagawin ko. Yung work ko po talaga (sa corporate) kasi is 9-5. So gumigising po talaga ako ng 3am depende po sa tasks ko if madami. Pagdating 7, magprepreapre na ko sa work (corporate). Pagka-uwi ko po, dinner and pahinga. Maaga po ako natutulog para maaga po ako makagising."
"Gustong gusto ko po talaga magkaroon ng client, and ma-achieve ko yung income goal ko as a freelancer hanggang sa magquit ako ng 9-5, so alam kong kailangan ko iset aside yung hobbies ko before, kung ano yung time-consuming sa inyo, yung alma niyong you can set aside for the meantime habang you're still building your profile as a freelancer. Pero kasi once na na-andun na po kayo sa point na may clients na kayo, and maintain niyo na lang po siya, pwede naman po kayo bumalik sa hobbies and gusto niyong gawin kasi deserve niyo naman po talaga yun." - Harrah
"Follow your passion, follow what you love to do. Nataon lang yung year na yun, nakapagmotivate talaga sakin na I really want to quit my corporate job para kasama ko na yung family ko, and I really want a new home for my family. Find your motivation first, ano yung goal niyo, para magiging basehan niyo, para yung struggles na madaanan niyo, magiging madali lang siya." - Harrah
"Gradual po muna (ang hindi pagnood sa Kdrama) kasi addicted din po ako, pero ngayon po bumabalik po talaga ulit ako sa pagwatch ng Kdrama. Binawi ko po talaga lahat yung mga puyat and pagtanggal ko ng hobbies ko ng 2019-2020." - Harrah
"Super worth it po yung mga sacrifices ko. I think kahit yun na lang na nag-full time ako as a freelancer, kasi nakakasama ko yung kids ko kahit busy ako sa freelancing kasi nandito lang naman ako sa bahay. So, if anytime they want to watch a movie with me, kakalabitin lang nila ako, unlike before sa corporate job, talagang 9-5 nasa office ka, minsan magoovertime pa, yun yung medyo nalulungkot ako, kasi imemessage mo lang yung family mo sa bahay, kaya naging fulltime ako as a freelancer, super big win na siya kahit di ko pa na-aachieve yung dream income ko." - Harrah
"Ako, more on consistency, yung meron kang dumarating na income monthly, yung yung talaga naging first goal ko para I can quit my 9-5 job." - Harrah
"Nung before po na 'di ko pa siya na-achieve, kasi po nung nagstart po ako is $2.5/hr, nung nag-start po ako di ko talaga ma-achieve yung 100k kasi parang sideline lang ako before kasi may 9-5 job po ako. Pero ang natutunan ko po is magpackage ng rate ko." - Harrah
Hi watching from pampanga..
"Yung mga course talaga, yung mga coaches kasi, napagdaanan na nila yung paano sila nagstart, pano nila ma-aachieve yung dream income nila, paano sila makakaclose ng client, so may process na. Dati din parang ayaw kong mag-enroll sa mga course, baka (scam) lang siya, actually ang dami ko natake na course pero nakahelp talaga sila sakin to improve yung mga services ko, yung learnings ko, kasi di na ko nagtrial and error, nandun na sa mga courses yun. Kaya sa mga coaches talaga, I really admire them kasi they're giving away their ideas." - Harrah
