5 Reasons Why You Should Start a Small Business

I started my career in JG Summit and I have the utmost respect for the man who built his empire, Mr. John Gokongwei. He is a visionary but at the same time, so humble that you would not think he owns one of the country's biggest conglomerates.

It is just right that I again draw inspiration from him now that I am dealing with the biggest change in my life. Being a stay-at-home wife is a very challenging phase for a corporate junkie like me. For over ten years, I have been a willing slave to corporate life. I loved the pressure and the deadlines. I loved meeting people. I loved doing presentations. I loved every single stress that it offered me. But all that has been changed.

Mr. John, in a speech he gave at the 20th Ad Congress, said:

"The important thing to know is that life will always deal us a few bad cards. But we have to play those cards the best we can. And WE can play to win!"

I was played with a bad card. Or so I thought. At the onset, it looked depressing. But now, I have realized that it is all worth it to leave my corporate life for a family that I want to build.

Now that I am at home, I knew that I needed to grow my own business, no matter how small. And so my shop, The Accessorist PH, has been revitalized. Over the past few days, I have arranged my to-do list on how to proceed with my business. It's only now that I have all the time to finally work on the back-end and legalities of building my business. I have already registered my accessory shop under DTI (will do one post on how to do this) and by this week, I will be getting my business permits already.
