When I was younger, I thought the greatest achievement, we would ever have was having all the material things or shiny objects we usually see on social media.

In fact, doon pa ako kumukuha ng motivation kapag nahihirapan na ako sa mga standards at theories na inaaral ko.

Turns out… Mali pala ako.

Because after all the things I’ve been through, I learned that knowing “how to live your own life” is the best thing we could ever give to ourselves.

If we don’t know how to live our own life, we will most likely pressure ourselves to chase things, AS IN A LOT OF THINGS…

Only to figure out na hindi naman pala yon ang gusto natin.

Hindi naman pala yon aligned sa goals, personality, or sa gusto nating maging.

– So, this is a little message to my college self –

Alam kong nap-pressure ka na kasi sila madami ng achievements kahit bata palang at nakikita mo na masaya sila sa mga tinatahak nila. But that doesn’t necessarily mean na ayon din makakapagpasaya sayo kaya ayon nadin ang pipilitin mong tahakin.

Kasi in reality, YOU ARE JUST ALRIGHT.

Kaya focus ka lang dyan! Use the privilege of being a student!!!

– Start working on yourself.
– Romanticize your life.
– Read good books!
– Plan and SHOW UP, PLEASE LANG!
– Lastly, INVEST on yourself.

Anyway, we are all just trying our best to figure out this life. OUR OWN LIFE.

Now, it’s time to embrace your own life, acie! ✊

As a person na nasa early 20s, palagi kong naririnig sa iba na mag-explore daw at wag matakot mag take risk habang bata pa...

hala, pano ba yun?

Sa totoo lang, risk taker talaga ako. Yung tipong g na g ako kahit nakalista ako sa mga strongest soldier ni Lord.

lalo na kung alam kong by taking a specific risk, it will help me improve my life, business, & mindset.

at sa dami-daming risk na tinake ko, isa yung karanasan ko sa pag bubusiness ang masasabi kong 'risk taker talaga ako!'

Eto na nga for 3 years, I had a clothing business ano siya Panimula Negosyo Bundle yung product ko. So before nag e-earn siya ng 5 figures per week but here's the thing, malakas siya bumenta that time without me doing anything (in terms of attracting target market).

yung tipong hinihintay ko lang yung mga sellers na mag place ng order tapos isship ko nalang.

Pero wala talaga akong system, marketing, or even budgeting. Tipong funds ng business kala ko, pera ko din.

Kaya laging akong anxious non kasi hindi ko sure kung sa next week may oorder pa ba sakin. Eh yung BunDeals pa naman yung nagiisang source of income ng family namin that time (pandemic).

I really don't know what I was doing back then, as in clueless how business really works.

Swerte ko nalang din non kasi that time, hindi pa talaga super complicated magkaroon ng online business. Plus pa boom palang siya.

and then time came mga 2022, yung unti-unti nang bumabalik ang lahat sa normal and back to work na ulit yung mama at ate ko.

So ni-grab ko yung chance na yon. I challenged myself to take a pause from operation and dig deeper kung ano ba talaga yung business.

looking back, natatawa nalang ako ngayon kasi chinallange ko talaga yung sarili ko to be back to zero parang nasa rock bottom ako nung taon na yon.

Ang hirap kasi as in wala ng cashflow.

until I found out about this freelancing thing which is known for offering their skills for a fee.

So sabi ko ayos matututunan ko na paano magpatakbo ng business kasi aaralin ko yung mga skills required to make my client's business grow.

pero sa totoo lang, sa pag talon ko na yun sobrang nahirapan ako.
But, did I regret it?

hindi...

Because fast forward today, the knowledge, confidence, and skills I have now is priceless.

Ngayon, nagpapasalamat nalang din ako kasi ang sarap pala mag take ng risk sa sarili mo.

In fact, after a year I'm back to business!! Yun nga lang by the time we choose personal growth, pag balik natin hindi na pala siya katulad ng dati.

Pero okay lang yon, kasi we can always figure it out lalo na ngayong better person ka na.

And ayon, yon pala yon. Those risks help us grow.

Imagine if I did not accept the fact na kulang pa talaga yung kaalaman ko at there is so much more out there to explore eh baka tuluyan nalang malugi at mawala yung business.

Sa journey na yon, sobrang dami kong natutunan at nakilala, all because I took a leap of faith at nag take risk ako sa sarili ko. Sobrang proven and tested sa buhay ko yung laging sinasabi na “Piliin mo kung ano yung hirap na gugustuhin mo.”

Kasi hindi talaga siya naging madali as in yung kahit napakadaming motivational videos at coaches pa panoorin mo minsan putek gusto mo nalang maiyak. Malo-lost ka and mag d-doubt kung nasa right path ba pa.

But yeah, at the end of the day everything is gonna be alright.

ngayon siguro sasabihin ko sa younger self ko who's breaking down and anxious most of the time....

It is just scary because it is a bigger game and it is just hard because it has a bigger reward.

I FINALLY FOUND OUT A SOLUTION!!!

AT NASA HARAP KO NA PALA, HINDI KO LANG GINAGAWA…

Today, I found a solution.

Yung solusyon sa bagay na matagal ko nang iniiyak!

Alam ko na kung bakit ko dine-delay yung mga bagay-bagay…

Alam ko na kung bakit alam ko naman yung gagawin, pero hindi ko padin siya ginagawa…

Yung kahit gaano pa kaganda at systemize lahat ending kapag action time na, sobrang dami kong excuses.

Grabe yun no? My planning phase consists of sooo many research, sleepless nights, plus breakdown tapos nung nalatag ko na… feeling ko tapos na. Madali nalang i-apply so here I am delaying taking action again.

Little did I know, kaya pala ganon, PAANO KASI TAKOT PALA AKO. OO!

Takot pala akong baka kapag ginawa ko na siya, kapag inapply ko na… ENDING HINDI GUMANA. HINDI MAGING EFFECTIVE.

It won’t turn out the way I want it to be. Kaya pala!

narasan mo na din ba yon? badtrip no.

And when I realized that sabi ko sa sarili ko this 2024, “Hindi na ako matatakot!” kase mag work or hindi?

I will still work on it! Gagawin ko padin siya and I will even MAKE IT WORK!
I will pray for it. Pagt-tyagaan ko siya! Hanggang sa makuha ko yung tamang timpla!

Kasi sabi nga, okay lang mag fail. Normal yan. Pero yung hindi mo i-try?

Daldalhin mo yan kahit hanggang sa pagtanda….

Yung regrets.

So sana, sana self, let's face 2024 with bravery because I don’t want to

miss the opportunities anymore.

and spend another journey with fear and anxiety ANYMORE.

anyways, you’re gonna figure it out. like you always have.

MAYBE IT’S YOUR TIME TO FOCUS ON YOURSELF.

When I started figuring out life. Natutunan ko na importante na yung focus mo ay nasa iyo. Yes, sa sarili mo.

Naisip ko lang to habang papunta ako sa workspace ko (kala mo layo eh no, wfh ako btw) na habang nasa phase tayo of "figuring out our own life" importante pala that we know our values. Yung magkaroon tayo ng self-awareness.

Kasi based sa experience ko, ang daming beses kong na-lost. Yung binibigay ko naman best ko akala ko kasi ayun na yung right path but turns out, hindi padin pala.

Well, mag papaulit ulit lang yung cycle na yon if we keep on seeking answers based on other people's want or expectation to us. Medyo nahirapan nga ako sa part na 'to kasi people pleaser ako.

Tipong kahit di okay sa akin if that what makes you all happy, okay go tayo.

But I need to heal that by putting myself first. Kasi pag hinayaan lang, mauubos ka talaga.

Palagi ko ngang sinasabi sa sarili ko na, lahat ng bagay kaya nating harapin basta okay ka. Yung vinavalue mo yung sarili mo at alam mo mga boundaries mo.

So that by the time we start to figure out our own life, we won't be swayed easily.

Mas maiintindihan natin that we are all different. Not only as a person, but also the path we are taking. Magkakaiba tayo ng nilalaro. Kaya magkakaiba din talaga tayo ng wins in life as well as the silent battles.

Pero alam mo kung saan tayo magkakaparehas?

Lahat tayo, tinatry lang natin yung best natin. araw-araw. So, wala ka na dapat pang ikabahala. Just focus on yourself.

GULONG GULO NA AKO SA BUHAY KO!

Ako yung tipo ng estudyante before na napaka-active yung tipong athlete na, dancer pa, leader pa, at kung ano-ano pa.

kaya eto, when I started working on myself hindi ako mapakali….

So ayun nga, kahit madalas nalo-lost at na o-overwhelm na ako sa dami kong gustong i-try sa buhay ko, in a way nagustuhan ko siya.

because when I entered adulthood, okay na sakin umalis sa comfort zone ko, kasi I love trying new things.

pero alam mo kung ano yung naging problema?

I don't know how to stay.

kapag kasi may nasimulan nanaman akong bagong gagawin, madalas hindi ko siya alam paano tapusin. But here’s what I figured out…

When we were a student, may system na. Mag co-comply nalang tayo. Tapos yung system nila is proven and tested na.

While this adulthood thing has no system, tayo mismo ang mag s-set. Lalo na sa mga multi-passionate out there.

plusss whenever I am in the middle of doing that new thing may bago nanaman akong ideas na maiisip.

I waste no time so let's gooo talon nanaman tayo.

Tapos pag wala akong makitang results, mawawalan na ako ng gana. hanggang sa dumating yung point na hindi ko na alam paano magpapatuloy.

not until someone told me na instead of aiming to be the best version of yourself why not become your favorite version of yourself?

and then I look back to my favorite version of myself...

yung highschool na ako.

she's just giving her best everyday. always jolly, ineenjoy nya lang lahat kaya madami syang nagagawa.

hindi niya iniisip yung reward pero ang ganda ng mga nagiging output nya kasi go with the flow lang sya.

That's when I learned how to enjoy the process and aim to romanticize this life, actually yan ang goal ko ngayon.

kaya ngayon, I am choosing to be that version of me. Go with the flow, pero this time with the purpose.

Ohh ganda non, pero ayun sa usapang comfort zone...

Whenever we feel na it's time to step out of your comfort zone, hindi pala ibigsabihin non totally new thing sya.

yun kasi yung pinapaintindi satin these days na kapag it's out of your comfort zone dapat mahirapan ka, dapat clueless ka and everything kaya napapangunahan tayo lagi ng takot.

When in fact pwede tayong umalis sa comfort zone natin and then use all the learnings we've had in our life.

which in my case, I always look back to my favorite version of myself – my highschool self.

kakaiba no? yung younger self ko pa minsan yung nag s-save sakin sa mga oras na hindi ko na alam gagawin ko sa buhay ko.

Ikaw? What is your favorite version of yourself? 🤗

Ang dami-dami kong napapanood na motivational videos sa social media. At aaminin ko, may mga times na nakakaumay na.

Okay so we are in our 20s, doing our best to figure out our own life then every time we are browsing on social media, sandamakmak na motivational videos yung lumalabas sa feed natin.

habang eto tayo feeling lost at madalas hindi na alam kung worth it pa ba yung mga ginagawa.

Actually for me, those motivational videos are valuable. swerte nga tayo kasi they exists. Nalalaman natin yung mga possible na pwedeng mangyari sa buhay ng isang successful person.

katulad ng isang professional, negosyante, o kahit ng isang nanay.

And believe me kahit gaano sila ka-valuable, hindi pala talaga lahat mag re-resonate sayo. Ako kasi yung tipo ng viewer na kapag may motivational video, todo kinig ako. Tapos todo connect sa buhay ko.

and maf-feel ko yung excitement at fire kasi feeling ko ayun na yung path papuntang success... pero mga ilang araw lang lost na ulit.

syempre consume nanaman tayo ng mga videos dyan and the cycle goes on and on...

Dun ako naumay.

Hindi naman sakanila, pero sa paulit-ulit kong ginagawa – sa sistema ko. Kasi napansin ko na nag co-consume lang ako. Walang action.

Gusto lang naman nilang mag share ng value pero I find myself being pressured.

All because I consumed the wrong one or yung mga value na hindi pa naman applicable sa buhay ko ngayon.

Everything changed nung tinanggap kong hindi naman lahat mag re-resonate sakin.

Na pressure ako kasi I used to pressure myself dahil sa mga bagay na I consumed online, na dinadamdam ko which is hindi pa naman dapat.

So, if feeling mo nandito ka sa phase na 'to ng buhay mo, alam kong hindi madali pero...

✅Accept the fact na we can always work on our own pace.
✅We can always be motivated with our OWN present.

ayun as I do my best to figure out my own life, nakatulong talaga sakin yung pagiging intentional and having high self awareness. Kasi madali ko malaman kung ano yung mga bagay na nag reresonate sakin. At hindi ko na ulit pinepressure yung sarili ko sa mga bagay na hindi pa naman applicable saakin or hindi ko kontrolado.

🏧WHY NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO BEGIN PARTNERING WITH PAYMENT TIME INC?

Credit card acceptance over the Christmas season is beneficial to business. On the one hand, we could confidently assert that all business owners already know this. Conversely, not all business owners accept credit cards.

Still need convincing to embrace plastic? Here are three reasons why you must accept credit cards over the Christmas season:

📌YOUR CUSTOMERS WILL ENJOY THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MORE SAVINGS.

Consumers will seek the finest prices and discounts now. They'll buy more. Any company that can save them money will win support. Credit card providers offer rewards points. These points can be redeemed for products and services later, turning credit cards into payment mechanisms that give more than the items they're buying.

Jason Steele shows on Credit.com how smart credit card use may save money. "Debit cards and checkbooks don't offer spending benefits, but many credit cards do," he says. "Those who pay off their accounts in full should expect spending rewards."

📌YOU WILL DEFINITELY ATTRACT NEW CUSTOMERS.

Is there a better time than the holiday shopping season to get people to come into your store? By letting people pay with credit cards, you are basically saying, "Visit us!" to people who might normally go somewhere else. Simply put, people like to use credit cards. Also, people don't like to use cash as much as they used to.

David Iafrate writes on StartUpNation.com that statistics show that cash is losing its appeal. "Consumers are more likely to buy from you if they know you accept credit cards," he says. "51% of Americans under thirty hate paying with cash, no matter how much." This is true for all age groups.

By accepting credit cards, you make your customers' lives easier and improve their shopping experience."

📌CUSTOMERS WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE BEST DEALS USING CREDIT CARDS.

As was already said, most people who shop for Christmas will play the "seeking the best prices" game. In addition to the deals and discounts your store may offer, many of the credit cards your customers use allow them to price match. Miranda Marquit of WiseBread.com says that one of the best things about credit cards is that they protect you from price changes.

"Some credit cards offer price protection, especially premium cards with annual fees," she says. "You can get your money back if you buy something and then find it for less elsewhere." This can be a big help when shopping for holiday deals and gifts for other people."

But before that, let me tell you this....

Four Important Considerations When Choosing a Merchant Service Company

Small businesses must offer a simple, stress-free checkout process. It takes a lot of work to bring a prospect to the point of sale, and no entrepreneur wants a consumer to leave due to a difficult checkout procedure.

Merchant service providers facilitate in-person and online credit and debit card purchases. Choose the finest merchant service provider for your business from thousands of options. Selecting a merchant account service provider requires four considerations.

1. CUSTOMER REVIEWS

In the age of the internet, it's pretty easy to find out how a business treats its customers. Just look for online reviews. Visit different message boards and forums where people talk about the merchant service provider. The goal should be to find a merchant service provider with mostly good feedback and reviews. Keep in mind that competitors will often write bad reviews about each other, and companies will also pay people to write fake, good reviews. At the end of the day, the majority of reviews should be good.

2. FEES COMPARABLE

Since there are thousands of merchant service providers, rates between major organizations are frequently comparable. Most per-transaction fees are from 1.5% —2%. Be wary of businesses who advertise absurdly low prices that seem too good to be true. If the rates seem too good to be true, they probably are! How service providers charge for upfront expenses such as application fee, equipment fee, and setup fee varies widely. In general, organizations that offer lower upfront costs will charge greater per-transaction fees, and vice versa.

3. HIDDEN FEES

Some merchant service providers will attempt to take advantage of unaware customers in this manner. In addition to the per transaction price, a merchant account provider may additionally charge cancellation fees, customer support fees, minimum monthly volume fees, maximum monthly volume fees, and so on.Typically, these expenses are all mentioned in the contract, but they are typically buried in the fine print. Make careful to read the full contract to ensure that you understand all potential fees and that you consent to them.

4. CUSTOMER SERVICE

A merchant service provider is one of those relationships in which a business owner only communicates with the service provider when a problem arises. Consequently, client service is crucial. The last thing that should occur is a problem with a customer's credit card followed by an unresponsive or unhelpful merchant service provider. Calling the merchant service provider during busy business hours in order to test the quality of its customer care is one way to evaluate its customer service.

Now that you are aware of the most important factors to consider when selecting a merchant service provider, you are free to check this website and see if it contains them all — https://www.globalpaymenttime.com/

TOP 3 ADVANTAGES OF ACCEPTING CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS
Credit cards have become an integral part of our financial lives for decades. Not only do they make retail buying more convenient and streamlined, but they also provide a higher level of protection for more lavish transactions and allow us to live virtually cashless lives, which has never been more relevant than it is now following the pandemic.

1. CONVENIENCE

Customers' sense of entitlement has grown in the months following the pandemic, and they now think that all businesses accept contactless payment. Customers who don't often carry cash and don't want to waste time walking to an ATM are unlikely to patronize your establishment if you don't accept credit cards. Compared to bank transfers, which can be time-consuming and costly, credit card payments offer a clear advantage when processing online payments.

2. REVENUE

Having the ability to accept credit card payments at any time from anywhere in the world opens up a business to a far larger consumer base and removes geographical restrictions on when and when the business can be open for business. Customers are more likely to make purchase decisions when using a credit card as opposed to cash, which is another reason why accepting credit cards can boost sales.

3. CASH FLOW

Credit card transactions guarantee prompt deposits to a company's bank account. Customers don't need to be billed, and there's no need to wait for checks to clear. Having access to credit will improve your cash flow by allowing you to get paid faster and more reliably.
