Hello everyone! How is it April already? Right?!
How are you guys doing? I hope whoever you are and wherever you are in the world reading this, things are going in your favor. I had no updates lately because we've been busy with our new business. 2024 is our year, we started it with so much enthusiasm not knowing something big is in store for us.
Our January was all about being out in nature and being active. Ferald and I went hiking in Wadi Shawkha in Ras Al Khaimah. It was amazing. Just look at this view!
Then, we got interested in fishing and went on our first fishing trip together. Learned everything by ourselves, and caught a few but were unlucky to catch a big one. It was still a fun and good learning experience for us.
Then we celebrated hubby's 47th birthday.
And then it was February.
A fantastic opportunity presented itself and we grabbed it immediately.
Here is a little background story.
As
expatriates (Overseas Filipino Workers) residing in Dubai, despite earning a decent income, we share
a common dream with many to establish and run our own business, both in the country where we are and back in our homeland.
In June 2019, we realized our dream of
becoming salon owners when we opened JC Star Salon. Initially,
everything was going well until the pandemic hit. Like many others, we were forced to permanently close down the business.
Interestingly, this wasn't our first try into entrepreneurship. We had
previously delved into diverse ventures, including a money transfer and
exchange office, collaborated in a t-shirt printing business, and even
experimented with Bitcoin. The point is, wouldn't it be nice to have another income basket to help us and our family, while we are still working in Dubai?
Until we were introduced to our newest business venture. It is an ONLINE FRANCHISE and international DROPSHIPPING business. We saw a huge potential for this business. Compared to our previous traditional companies, this has no overheads. But of course, with any business, you will need to have capital.
We started with FRANCHISING at House of Franchise Food, Digital, Health, Beauty, and Wellness. What's good about it? Doable and portable, you can do it wherever you are. Manage it at your own pace and time. It is so diverse, and there are so many ways to earn. In just three weeks we already generate a good amount of income. For someone like me who is a full-time employee, I do this business part-time for 2-3 hours daily.
We have a long way to go and a bright road ahead. Looking at leaders in this business, we see that they've already achieved so much and are helping us fulfill our dreams of becoming successful business owners.
We're two months into this business (February and March), and this is where we're at. I share this not to brag but to keep us inspired, committed, and accountable.
All we did was to take the first step. Franchising is such a great business model because it is system-ready. Everything is provided for, all you need to do is commit and have a huge appetite for business
If you want to know more about how to do this business, you will find me on my social links on the home page or comment here to connect with me.
