Notable Quotes:

• I was really interested. Search ako nang search online on how to become a freelancer. San ako mag aaral ng freelance. Nag Youtube ako, nagsearch ako kung saan ako naghahanap. Google lang naman magiging kakampi ko.
• Biglang lumabas sa wall ko yung 15% off sa Facebook. Kakagatin ko na ito kahit buong sahod ko gagastusin ko. Sabe ko, "Papatulan ko na ito."
• Ang niche ko talaga is Virtual Assistant. Yun talaga ang focus ko because for me it’s the easier one. Kasi kapag wala ka talagang idea at dun ako mag-eexcel and at the same maraming nangangailangan na business owner’s ng assistance lala yung Email Handling.
• Ang ma-share ko lang sa inyong tip. Make sure to stay motivated. Kasi sabe nga nila, kung gusto mo talaga yung isang bagay gagawa’t gagawa ka ng paraan para makamit mo yun. Despite all the challenges that you will be facing.
• It doesn’t happen in a snap na makukuha mo yung gusto mo. Sabi nga nila yung pinakamahihirap na bagay at yung mga bagay na matagal natin makuha, those are the one that’s worth it.
• Nung nag enrol ako sa VA Bootcamp, I didn’t treat this as gumastos lang ako. For this is an investment kasi alam ko may balik sa akin ito no matter how long it takes. Kasi hindi na katulad noon na kelangan ko pang gumastos at nagbabiyahe para sa pamasahe. Napapagod sa traffic para lang makapunta sa trabaho.
• Pero kapag nag invest ka sa sarili mo like you’re learning about something that’s not just buying “It’s an investment to yourself.” Hindi mo lang sya magagamit online or sa jobs na makukuha mo. Magagamit mo sya sa everyday living mo. For me na nagkaroon kame ng business ng asawa ko. Lahat ng nakuha ko sa VA Bootcamp na-apply ko lahat.
• Yung ginastos kong 9K or 8K sa pag-enrol sa VA Bootcamp walang wala sa kinita ko.
