Lessons from a Filipino Woman Entrepreneur

• Don't let humble beginnings hold you back. Look to the future not the past.
• Don't go for the "quick profit" if it sacrifices quality. Your reputation is your best marketing tool.
• Remember after sales service. It's more effective to get repeat business from a happy customer than to work on "cold calls" on new ones.
• Recognize those who helped you and give them their due respect.
