ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN A FAST PACING WORLD

By: Razon Ruel JR, Vasallo Carl Austin, Sanchez Julie Marte, Cebrero Jamaica

WEEK BLOG #6: “A Person Who Hustle's”

“Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.”

As we talked about who we were going to interview the entrepreneur. We bought snacks at a bakery. And there we met the owner of the bakery. At first we were pushing over who would ask for permission to talk to the owner of the bakery. The bakery cashier spotted us and asked us for what and why. I replied, "for our subject". The cashier called the owner and fortunately we were granted, we first introduced ourselves as students. And we immediately started our questioning.

ME: Why did you decide to become a business owner?

Mrs. Timbal: Back then I was just dependent on my parents. I feel sorry for them because as time goes on I notice in them that they are getting older. My mother I see her very tired coming home to our house to earn. And my father has been working in the Laundry shop for almost ten years. So at a young age and while studying I sideline jobs to earn and help. And I also thought about making money. I took all the different jobs I could get. I persevered and it all paid off. Until now I am still like that. I also had a lot of business. One of them is the bakery business, because every time my mother and I go for a walk, I really like to buy snacks. And I really love sweets.

ME: How long have you been in this business industry?

Mrs. Timbal: It's been a long time since I was fourty-nine when I built my first bakery. It took at least 11 years.

ME: What methods do you use to promote your business?

Mrs. Timbal: First I did some studies on the area where my business would be built. Then I spread the survey. Whenever there are festivities taking place in the barangay, I am endorsed and give away free snacks for all officers and workers in the barangay. So that they can recognize and taste it.

Me: What were some challenges you faced?

Mrs. Timbal: Disappointment, because it is time consuming. Inventory and production calculations and labor cost.

Me: What are the benefits of doing this type of business after all this years?

Mrs. Timbal: A home bakery allows you to save on capital costs ·You can get started even with a small investment. You can control production based on demand. And those are just some of my experiences. Fun and really helpful. It makes money somehow.

Mrs. Timbal is one of the most delicious pandesal in the morning. And you can really smell it even when you are far away. When you pass by, they say, you will really be a snack. Also because of the different types of bread you will find. And another thing that gives attraction is its shape and different colors.

WEEK BLOG #7 "Every great dream begins with a dreamer”

“If a person has will power, patience, creativity to pursue something that would lead them to success, all that person really needs is a plan”

-Harriet Tubman

We went to Razon's house to find a businessman for the interview. It was also a long time before we found out. Because we are confused and embarrassed that maybe he is busy or doing something important. Maybe we can just bother people. Because we were there too. So we really asked for favor with Razon's acquaintance. And asked when their spare time. So that we can interview even for a moment. By the mercy of God we are granted. He was Joseph Galinada a supplier of Meat in the market.

Me: Why did you decide to become a business owner?

Boss Joseph: I have also entered a lot of business. Dreamed and dreamed until I reached it. I also experienced falling, then getting up again. Planned by planned. Until I got to this point. When I was young, I dreamed of starting my own business. Because that's what I usually hear when the elders talk to us. So it was too early for me to enter the business world. And that’s where it all started.

ME: How long have you been in this business industry?

Boss Joseph: It’s been a long time, too, since I started when I was 35 years old. And I am 50 years old now. So 15 years.

ME: What methods do you use to promote your business?

Boss Joseph: Meats are always delivered fresh. Buy with a discount. And one there must be able to get along with those I supply with my product. And I really show them that I’m not really cheating. I also used social media to post my meat. And he is really a big help. And tarpaulins that I give to my friends to be advertised in different places.

ME: What were some challenges you faced?

Boss Joseph: Frustration due to losses, thinking of new and good plans. Hesitation always. But, all that is normal when you go into business.

ME: What are the benefits of doing this type of business after all this years?

Boss Joseph: That won’t be a problem with money. As time goes on you will learn. It may be very difficult in the beginning but there is a destination when it is started. This is good business.

Boss Joseph is not arrogant. Humble and very understanding. Good at speaking. And very charismatic. He really has a talent in business because he really uses his mind and he really takes every move and plan to heart.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN A FAST PACING WORLD By: Razon Ruel Jr, Vasallo Carl Austin, Sanchez Julie Marte, Cebrero Jamaica

WEEK BLOG # 1 "A Blessing in Disguise"

“something that seems bad or unlucky at first, but results in something good happening later”

Together with my classmates, Ruel Razon, Jamaica Cebrero and Vasallo , we interviewed a business owner of the Motorcycle Parts And Accessories about his business and we asked some advice on how to come up ideas to build an empire. I would like you to meet Boss Bernard Quijada, a self – master. Because, Boss Bernard have the capability to control the mind and also the feelings. He have the attitude to act proactively and should not over react in any situation.

Me: Why did you decide to become a business owner?

Boss Bernard: I was fired over a year ago now. I came home and fumed. I got underneath the covers and cried. I decided I needed to start a business. Losing that job was a blessing in disguise really.

Me: How long have you been in this business industry?

Boss Bernard: It's been a long time since I’ve been in this business. I think 8 years.

Me: What methods do you use to promote your business?

Boss Bernard: I use social media, I get involved in an online community, I use high-quality visuals and offer a discounted or free product/service. it is totally free to set up a business account on most social media destinations, making it one of the more reasonable ways to promote my business.

Me: What were some challenges you faced?

Boss Bernard: Problem solving, cash flow and financial management and planning ahead.

Me: What are the benefits of doing this type of business after all this years?

Boss Bernard: In the first place I have no idea and can't decide what to start I do research well on what I can handle well. In case I am opting for an online motorcycle parts business, I need to have a proper-functioning website with virtual support, web hosting, and a computer system. And I learned to buy only those items that are salable then I can add your capital later. It's a good thing I already have my mechanic. I ask the mechanic which items are salable. List down and canvass from wholesalers and compare the price. I also note the most used motorcycle brand and model in your area (e.g. Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha or Suzuki). These are the motorcycle parts and accessories that I should buy.

Boss Bernard is one of my closest friend and he is very kind. Me and Boss always talked about how to improve, grow and have a good lifestyle while coffee. He helps me to become a better person. That is why he has a mistress that supported him in every situation. And he loves his family so much. The flow of the conversation goes like this.

WEEK BLOG #2: “Don’t worry. Be happy.”

“Whether we are rich or poor, educated or uneducated, whatever our nationality, colour, social status or ideology may be, the purpose of our lives is to be happy.”

-Dalai Lama

We reunited to find another interviewee. We looked for someone with a business to ask them. We were even tired of doing our respective thesis. We really found a way. Because we are so eager to hear new stories about the business. And share it on our blog. We miss listening to new stories. Until we thought Randy Villanueva owns the Fabrication business. As he helps us plan what is really better to do with our respective theses, we talk to him and ask questions. Boss Randy is a fun and happy companion. He likes to laugh.

Me: Why did you decide to become a business owner?

Boss Joseph: I didn't go to college. Because I can’t afford the tuition fee. So I worked and until I met someone. We became best friends. He is good at business. So we both planned what good things to do to have our own business. Until we got to where we started. And we had our own business.

Me: How long have you been in this business industry?

Boss Joseph: It’s been a long time, too, since I started when I was 35 years old. And I am 50 years old now. So 15 years.

Me: What methods do you use to promote your business?

Me: What were some challenges you faced?

Boss Joseph: Frustration due to losses, thinking of new and good plans. Hesitation always. But, all that is normal when you go into business.

Me: What are the benefits of doing this type of business after all this years?

WEEK BLOG #4 "Frugality Makes a Poor Man Rich"

“A hungry stomach, an empty pocket and a broken heart can teach the best lessons of life”

We went to the other village to find the man named Willie Oliveros. A Proven business owner or it belongs to what we call street foods. Boss Willie is very kind and approachable. He did not refuse us to talk to him even for a moment. He is not arrogant and he knows how to get along. He understands us. And we immediately started our interview.

Me: Why did you decide to become a business owner?

Boss Willie: We are just poor. I grew up in a squatter area. So I persevered in life. Hunger and lack of finances pushed me to get up every day. Sometimes I even like a beautiful woman. But he just criticized me because his parents didn't like me. Because I have nothing to feed their daughter. It hurts to think about it but I persevered even more. I worked until I accumulated capital and started a business.

Me: How long have you been in this business industry?

Boss Willie: I have been in this business for over 6 years. And I've been through a lot.

Me: What methods do you use to promote your business?

Boss Willie: I brewed delicious and varied sauces that buyers keep coming back to. And I made sidecars so I could put my cooking utensils there. Then I get trustworthy people so they can sell street foods. And I taught them where the good places are for lots of sales. And that’s where it started. As it lasts with our collaboration my workers don’t expect our ways to sell even more.

Me: What were some challenges you faced?

Boss Willie: I also went through a lot of hardships. Sometimes and I hesitate to continue my business. It's just like when the Pandemic came. I'm about to fall. Because prohibited sale of Proven on the roads. It's like I want to cry but for what else. Nothing can be done

Me: What are the benefits of doing this type of business after all this years?

Boss Willie: This is what we serve as our source of money. This is where we take in our daily expenses. And to the expenses for my children’s education. Here I learned how to handle money and what it does to human life.

In our interview with Boss Willie we learned a lot. Giving up on challenges is not the solution. It has to be faced and be resilient. No matter what happens, keep going and you will get something in life. Don’t offend the critics. Make it an inspiration.
