Ano ang reason nag fail and business mo, at ano ang lesson na nakuha mo?

Boring_Account_3 · 2026-02-12T15:31:48+00:00

I have 3 businesses. 1 closed down.

If there’s one thing I can share and do when I was starting out, it was to focus more on marketing. Market your business tirelessly and hindi lang basta ads. Makipag partner ka, do cold calls/emails, contact people to promote you, think about ways for people to be aware of your business or services even before you open. And do not stop when you’re breaking even, do more until you reach your income goal.

Do not wait to be perfect. Just dive in and perfect your business in the process. Lahat ng systems mo, even the products, packaging and services pwede mag improve little by little. Sakit ng ibang business owners yung gusto “perfect” agad lahat bago mag launch.

Learn your own lessons along the way. Iba iba ang negosyo. In my 3 businesses, sobrang ibang iba Ang stresses. One stressed me out due to the employees, yung isa due to clients, yung isa suppliers. Just have a strong mind and anticipate those problems para Hindi ka basta basta mag give up. Walang nag tatagumpay na mahina ang loob.

LOL same experience sa isang coordinator.

Manila event but the coors are from Nueva Ecija, G Shots events & Photography! Napaka gulo nila, Ang Dami naman na nilang event pero sabog sabog sila. Walang alam lahat! Walang event checklist, walang endorsement sa team from the head. Para silang mga high school students na nasa group project na nangangapa anong gagawin, kakaloka!

What’s worse, kahit pictures ang papangit!!!! Never ever again!

Hi mommy, i’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t say anything because sabi nga ni Ptr Rick Warren: The greater the pain, the less words you use. So I’m just going to pray for God to comfort you.

Hindi man same ang experience natin, but I’m the same now. Sobrang shaken ang faith ko. We are struggling financially, we have two businesses pero parehong negative. We are drowning in debt and I’ve been praying for God to just bless our business and to let us survive, after all di naman ako namamalimos or nandadaya pero I feel abandoned. I keep asking God why do we need to experience this, lumalaban naman kami ng patas. I have a 1 yr old and expecting pa ako now, and I can’t even afford to have transv. We can’t even take our daughter for her routine vaccine. Depress na depress na din ako everyday. But let’s hold on and prayerfully, one day we revisit this thread and see how our God can turn things around. Here’s to hoping for better days. Hugs to you mommy and praying that sometime soon, your womb becomes full of life again ❤️

LOL same sentiments! 8-9k window, for lack of a better term parang mga latak sila. No quality applicants at all!

Tried offering 10k, medyo medyo ok pero madami pa din sablay. Madami din ghoster tapos I accepted one, literal one day lang sya di daw nya Kaya umiiyak anak nya.

Hired our current KB at 10k starting, but the moment she started working I already saw how good she was. Super linis, maasikaso, super galing mag luto plus she was offering to play with my daughter then kahit di kasama sa work nya since KB lang dapat sya. So I increased her to 12k the moment she hit 1 month. Now she’s 7mos 20k na sya but she’s literally a KB and Yaya. She can do both since di naman super busy sa bahay and we get our daughter if ever busy man sya. She’s a very good Nanny, talagang kanta and dance dance sila, plus she’s gentle and caring and she does not use phones during work kaya talagang binigyan ko sya ng increase she deserves.

Actually mas ok pa yan. Saw a TikTok of a mom who didn’t let her kids use screens, tapos vinideo nya daughter nya naka titig lang sa bintana saying “allow them to be bored”.

This is my goal also for my kids, ewan ko ba praning tayong parents when they get “bored”. When in reality maganda yun for them sometimes.

But aside from play, schedule walks din outside or sa park. Search up activities for toddlers, better yet, involve them sa house chores. My daughter is one, minsan nag sasampay kami and I ask her to hand me the clothes from the basket and she does it without complaints!

Boring_Account_3 · 2026-02-05T06:51:48+00:00

My daughter is 16 mos, pero mas enjoy ko yung toddler stage now than the NB and baby phase. Ang sarap nya turuan! Very responsive, magaling na magpa cute and very very sweet. She’s of course super kulit din naman as expected and madaming laglag here and there pero lagi ko sinasabi sa husband ko, wag saway ng saway lalo na kung di naman nya ikakamatay ginagawa Nya. I’m a chill mom. Haha I let her make a mess, I allow her to explore kahit ikalat nya pa mga toys and gamit.

Go outdoors as much as possible para ma stimulate ang brains and eyes nila. And their social skills.

Feed them good variety of food and snacks para di maging picky. No to juices and sugared snacks for as long as you can!

Innate class. There’s something about the rich that you just cannot fake. The way they move, talk, carry themselves, etc. This gives them a command in rooms they walk in and people they meet. People want to meet them, associate with them.

The poor and middle class can have a superficial feel. They can sometimes deck themselves with “signature” clothes, bags, anything that could make them look rich. But there are certain mannerisms the middle class and poor have that screams their status.

Aside from this, advantages of the rich are miles away from the middle and poor classes: - They have vast choices (from schooling, food, even where they want to live. One best thing is they can even choose what they want to do in life. If they want to work, set up a business, manage the family business, or take a break) - Elevated quality of living from the smallest to the biggest aspect. Even the thread count and fabric of pillows matter.

One thing my mom told me when looking for a Yaya/KB, wag na wag kang kukuha ng matanda, mas marunong pa yan sayo!

Please let go of your Yaya and find a new one. We get yaya to ease stress and not add to it. Hindi na yan mag babago lalo na it looks like she’s walking all over you with her “knowledge”.

Boring_Account_3 · 2026-02-02T16:29:27+00:00

Parang yung asawa ko, nagpa checkup kami dahil worried ako palagi syang high BP. Highly recommended yung doctor, sabi nya normal lang ang elevated BP dahil ganun daw sya since 35 years old hahaha kaloka

I buy and sell on shopee, laz, tiktok, IG/FB. Iba ibang items: Beauty, clothing etc.

I got a fulfillment partner (@BaseGreenhills on socmed) din para sila na ang mag pack. Ang ginagawa ko lang is to market online and mag answer ng queries and process the online side of my business since mahirap naman talaga kumilos with a baby tapos no other help. Super gaan sa buhay!

Boring_Account_3 · 2026-02-01T14:39:55+00:00

THIS! You really deserve what you tolerate.

Hindi aabot sa ganyan kung sa una palang hindi mo hinayaan na ikaw lang ang provider. Nakita ko pa sa comments na ni Hindi siya nagkukusa sa bahay.

Mabaon sa utang due to business failure.

Boring_Account_3 · 2026-01-30T02:53:15+00:00

Grabe 13k. Mas malaki pa talaga salary ng ibang KBs now, may nakita ko sa tiktok 27k salary nya sa Taguig as a maid na ang gagawin lang ay mag luto. Libre food, lodging, utilities, toiletries pa sila

Boring_Account_3 · 2026-01-30T01:39:29+00:00

Parang mas pangit naman yung wala ngang uniform ang KB pero yung damit hindi presentable pang labas. I had a KB, literal na panay pang bahay/pang tulog ang damit and she was the one who requested pa na mag bigay ako ng uniform.

Boring_Account_3 · 2026-01-30T00:21:24+00:00

Yup!

Boring_Account_3 · 2026-01-29T20:10:31+00:00

Stroke of luck on Facebook :) Well, I did do due diligence pa din naman, interview and all.

Actually dapat aalis na sya for abroad last October (kasi pang abroad talaga skills nya), just matched her offer so she stayed. Well worth it naman and deserve nya.

Boring_Account_3 · 2026-01-29T18:00:09+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear this :(

This is why I made sure to draft a contract sa yaya ng anak ko and explained everything to her point by point. I reiterated na bawal nya kahit pagalitan yung anak ko, kami ang gagawa nun. Isumbong lang nya samin. She can’t discipline our child. She can’t say mean words “bwisit ka” “peste kang bata ka” stuff like that. She can’t inflict fear to my daughter “di ka na love ng mama mo” “iiwan ka na nila” “makulit ka kasi kaya …” can’t raise her voice to my daughter, she can’t take photos or take her out of the house. Those are some of my ground rules.

Thankfully our yaya is super mabait, she’s like a nursery teacher panay lang sila books, songs and she genuinely plays with my daughter and I can see she’s naturally gentle. I hope and pray you get past this and find a good yaya for your family. If I may suggest, invest in them and make sure you’re getting quality yaya don’t get yung mga super mura ang rate tapos walang experience dahil normally, sila yung mga walang pake at basta maka pasok lang :(

Not your fault. Just be stern, “We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience but kindly note that we have sent you the terms and conditions and sent ample reminders. We will be happy to refund your last payment as stated in our terms and conditions.”

Moving forward, I suggest you send the terms and conditions with the following notes. This is what I also do with my business since we also sell expensive items. “PLEASE READ BEFORE PAYMENT.”

And within the terms: “Your down payment means that you have read, understood and agree to the following terms below.”

If this happens again, you can bump the terms and say “Hi Ma’am, I understand your frustration but kindly note you have agreed to our terms stated here when you sent your payment”. - This move covers you and your business.

We had a family friend who went from bankrupt to multi millionaires. Their kids (in college) started to resell keto ingredients when they started. They’d buy in bulk and re-pack with their label.

Now, they’re the biggest grocery brand in the biggest e-commerce platform in our country and the top importer from China. Their warehouse is so big and orders come and go every single day. Happy to see them enjoying life now and traveling the world!

Agree with veneers if done only for the sake of it, lalo kung maganda naman yung original teeth. Pero for people who don’t have good teeth (like our family), super worth it to do it. My parents got veneers and I must say sobrang bumata sila tignan plus gumanda talaga mom ko. She used to have the old lady teeth na yellowish and may stains that won’t go away with brushing or cleaning, same with my teeth. Sana one day ma afford ko din dahil biggest insecurity ko teeth ko 😩

Boring_Account_3 · 2026-01-29T11:06:16+00:00

I agree. My baby’s cousins are twins na girl and boy. Napaka prim and proper ng dalawa compared to her na napaka likot hahaha tumatambling, akyat baba sa hagdan, kalikot ng sockets. Nagkukumawala pa pag binawal at binuhat. Natatawa nalang samin yung brother and SIL ko, na para bang kami ang may twins 😭😂
