We were treated with gusto at the recently concluded Vlogger/Blogger Explores Manila held at the Donburimix Food Hall, Ramon Magsaysay Building along Roxas Blvd, in Manila City. Thanks to Inspire Life headed by Juliet Zapanta Cruz who invited us to the event recently.
Data from the Department of Trade and Industry, (DTI) indicates that 99.6% of registered businesses in the Philippines are Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and they provide 63.2% of total jobs in the country.
Our Filipino Global entrepreneurs contributed so much to the country’s economy and provide the needed livelihood of most of our labor forces. This is why our micro, small and medium entrepreneurs need and deserve all the support they can get. Most successful entrepreneurs do not have impressive academic records nor received the best education. Despite all the obstacles and challenges street-smart and a great deal of common sense become the entrepreneur's tools of the trade. They make decisions based on their experiences on human nature and they know how to relate to the customer's needs.
The real measure of economic success is the people having everything they need, the economy being socially just, ecologically sound and healthy.
QUALITIES OF BEING A GOOD ENTREPRENEUR
Being passionate about the business. A great Filipino entrepreneur decides on what business to establish, usually, when he or she will be passionate about the business. This passion drives the entrepreneur to learn everything possible about the products or services being offered to customers and work out the feasibility studies or market analysis about the business. The same passion also gives the Filipino entrepreneurs a strong commitment and involvement in the enterprise.
Family values-oriented is the typical Filipino entrepreneurship, a set of values that guides one in doing business. The greatest value for a Filipino entrepreneur is his family. A value that looks at the people's welfare.
Generally speaking, a Filipino entrepreneur, no matter how successful one has become, never loses sight of why one is striving to make the business enterprise thrive, grow and be dynamic. What he is doing it for?. For the well-being of the family and the country.
CONCEPTS AND IDEAS
Concepts, Designs, and Creativity of the products and stores is very important prior to branding. Although it will take a lot of effort and resources, an entrepreneur can start with a small capital, human capital, ingenuity, creativity and at times friendship and camaraderie. The Wisdom of the day is... People crave for the uniqueness of the taste, a taste of home and going for the mainstream catering to different races and cultures when it comes to tactics and strategies. A word of advice for OFW's who are planning to go into Franchising is that it requires them to focus and HANDS-ON about the business.
A collaboration of different brands, a journey of the different brands with different concepts, a synergy among groups working together for 28 years. A conglomeration not only of the hearts and mind but a convergence of dreams, aspirations leading to the establishment of Filipino/Global brands.
