We got 2 new awards, for Sasuman’s Travel and Tours and for Angel Ayumi’s Wellness Spa.
It’s our first time getting 2 awards in one Event. I am so happy because my businesses are being recognized and I also got a chance to meet my fellow Entrepreneurs.
It never occurred to me that I will be getting these awards in less than a year. I am glad that all my hardships are being recognized and somewhat paid off.
Lately, I realized that there is much more to improve, I know I am not yet on top of my success because everyday there are new challenges and it is really testing my capacity as a business owner.
Being in the business for 4 years is not easy. If I am not strong and motivated enough to stay, maybe I already closed my business even it reached on its first year, that’s how difficult managing and building business in the Philippines. But, I am not a quitter, I always see every difficulty as an opportunity to grow. I made extra effort everyday to keep my business grow and pray so hard that my business will stay. It also made a commitment to my businesses that I will let it grow that I will do everything to make it grow no matter how hard it is.
Now that I reached 4 years, I am happy that I made this far but I want my business to stay until 30 years or more that my kids and grandchildren will continue to manage it and enjoy it as well. When I started a business, I am not focus on the short term only, I want my business to stay and will be able to provide for the next generations and that is the reason why I am working so hard for it to grow and I know that God will provide everything.
So I am a little emotional everytime I think of my business because when I started, it was just an idea and now everything seems working great and I am very thankful to God for blessing me this kind of opportunity.
Through this recognition, I believe that this is just a start. I should continue working and believing that something good is coming and all I can do is work hard for it.
To God be the Glory!
