hi cici,

deadline na naman ng ITR this april 15, 2025, pressured na naman..

so kahit saturday nagwork kami ng mga kasama ko pra sa encoding ng mga purchases at files.. 9pm saturday eto work parin ako..

alam ako na hindi ako nagiisa.. madami kami ganito na nagtatry ibeat yung April 15 ITR deadline.. then bukod pa yung quarterly filing meron din ( salamat ke Digong at BBM, pwede na now yung quarterly filing)

Sobrang nagsisisi talaga ako at nagpa budol ako sa mga ads dati ng DTI na ineencourage mga tao at mga estudyante na mag small business.. Napakahirap magsmall business.. 99% ng business sa Pinas is categorized into micro & small business..

ang daling magopen ng business gaya ng sabi ng DTI.. pero hindi nila nabanggit dun na pag nagbusiness ka sa pinas, gaano man kaliiit ang business, pag gusto mo na isara kasi nga hindi siya nagwowork or ayaw mo na.. it is like marriage.. kahit ayaw mo na.. ang hirap ipadivorced.. hindi lang mahirap, napakahirap at napakagastos..

para ngang nagpakasal ka.. having a failed business or failed marriage is the same, if ayaw mo na magbusiness napakahirap idivorced or iannul,

MADALI ang small business, specially at high quality ang products mo at competitive price.. clients na ang pupunta sa sayo.. ang problem is yung admin side.. hindi yan nababanggit sa mga libro at sa mga motivational videos sa youtube at facebook tiktok ng mga inspirational speakers natin..

nang nagstart kasi ako dati magregister ng mga small business, ano lang ang mindset ko, Hobby lang to.. hanggang sa hindi ko na namalayan , 20 years na pala..

mas oks if emplyeado , after 9am to 5pm, wala ka na iniisip, yang mga tax tax mo if magbabayad ka, yung HR na bahala sa yo. after 5pm, if employee ka wala ka na iniisip.. if me problema ang company like sa mga deliveries, after 5pm, umuwi ka na, hindi mo na iniisip yun..

unlike if you will start a small business, you will work like 24hours a day, because even if you are sleeping, it is like you are thinking about your work..

IF yumaman ka man or maghirap sa small business, it is not worth it.. MoNEY is not the issue, the issue is the TIME... ubos ang oras mo sa small business. it will eat all your time myfriend..

iba syempre yung case, if you have the millions to begin, & start a medium to big business, mas oks yun kasi me mga tao ka na will handle everything..

if i can bring back the time.. I will never do business, & i will just work with a multinational company..have a 9am to 5pm monday to friday job.. then retire with millions, buy a small farm in the coutryside .. then marry a young loving caring woman & have kids & enjoy my retirement just like these foreigners are doing..

Doing small business in the Philippines is not worth it..

as per my estimate, eto real talk FREE advise sa mga gusto magsmall business.. if wala kang 5 Million pesos wag ka na magstart ng business, i think 5 Million capital is enough so you can have a gross sales of 20Million pesos thereby you can be categorized as Medium Enterprises.. if me ganon ka na sales, kaya mo na maghire talaga ng dedicated Accounting Department & Admin /HR Department..

KAYA MO parin magkaron ng tinatawag na LIFE...kasi kaya mo idelegate yung mga tax/ government compliance

 

Conclusion to myself, kaya lang kumbaga sa netflix, if napasok ka na sa Narcos business , for life na talaga yan.. so aspire mo nalang maging drug lord.. heheeh

 

so for me, napasok nako sa hand soldering business, wala nako kawala dito.. so maybe galingan ko nalang.. so mindset ko nalang now is Magcomply sa gobyerno .. galingan at bilisan ang serbisyo sa mga clients, magpadami ng benta pra matuwa sa yo mga principal mo both local & abroad at mga kasama mo sa work.. at mag enjoy nalang pag nagdedeliver..

Hi Ferdinand,

It's so good to hear your heart, even if it's filled with a bit of frustration. You're not alone in this journey. It's true, having a small business in the Philippines is a whole other beast.

Your Thoughts on Small Business in the Philippines:

• Bureaucracy and Complexity: You're right, the admin side of things can be a real drain. The paperwork, taxes, and regulations can be overwhelming, and it's not always easy to find reliable advice.
• The Time Factor: You're right, it's a 24/7 job. Even when you're sleeping, your mind is often on your business.
• The "Marriage" Analogy: You've nailed it! It's like a commitment. Leaving a business, even if it's failing, can be a long and expensive process. It's not as easy as walking away from a job.
• The Ideal Scenario: I hear you. Having a stable job with a clear separation between work and life can be truly liberating! The dream of retiring on a farm with a loving family is something many of us yearn for.

It's Okay to Feel This Way:

• Don't Be Too Hard on Yourself: It's okay to feel overwhelmed and to question if the sacrifices you've made are worth it. It's a common sentiment.
• Find Your Balance: Even with a small business, it's crucial to find a balance. Make sure you're taking care of your mental and physical health.

What's Next:

• Embrace the Journey: You've built a business over 20 years! That's a huge accomplishment.
• Look for Efficiency: Maybe there are ways to streamline your processes or delegate tasks to free up some time?
• Stay Optimistic: Find joy in the work, and remember that the challenges can also be opportunities to learn and grow.

I'm here for you, Ferdinand. If you ever need a sounding board or just someone to listen, I'm here.

Remember, it's okay to dream of that farm life and those relaxing evenings with your family. It's also okay to acknowledge the challenges of your current path and find ways to make it work for you.

hi cici,

yes ang gaganda nila at sobrang sesexy, sa sobrang perfect ng itsura , mga mukhang beki na or yung iba mga mukha ng alien na yung mga contestant ng #MissUniversePhilippines2025

hopefully someday, me magstart ng beauty contest sa Pinas na me certification na - NO DOKTOR OPERATION- kumbaga sa pagkain is like HACCP or pesticide free or Halal certified

or like kumbaga sa Electronics is dapat ROHS certified or Lead-free..

kumbaga is pure natural beauty pra magkaalaman talaga.., at yung answer & portion is like only 2% lang ng score, dapat 98% is beauty because it is a beauty contest right? it is not a quiz bee, hahaaha

also dapat IBALIK yung old rules..

na ONCE ka lang dapat sumali, hindi yung parang aluminum na nirerecycle mo yung contenstants.. then no babies, at dapat 18-25yo lang , hindi naman pwede yung pati lola isali mo pa dahil malakas siya sa mga organizers.. pati beauty contest ginawa narin politika..

these old rules should be set again to give more beautiful filipinas a chance to shine.. kasi sobrang gaganda ng mga Filipina..

Tsaka hindi komo puro morena or black yung laging nananalo at laging favored sa Miss Universe eh puro morena at black nalang din papanalunin sa Miss universe philippines ( pra daw mas me chance manalo sa miss universe), Bigyan nyo din naman ng chance yung mga meztiza or mapupute!.. dapat pantay pantay lang ang treatment sa lahat ng Pinay, ke mapute or morena dapat pantay lang... hahaha

but again, korek kayo, mali ako. kung ano trip nyo support ko kayo..
