Woman Starts Small Business Despite Holding College Degree “Huwag mong ikahiya na isa kang tindera“
A woman has received online admiration for her dedication to running a small business, even though she holds a college degree.
Recently, Janeth Mangapo, a Facebook user, shared her inspiring story about running a small business despite having a college degree. The post quickly circulates online and elicited comments from netizens.
Janeth shared that even though she holds a degree, she chose to focus on her small business. She emphasized that there is no shame in being a store owner or small business operator. In fact, she finds many blessings in her work.
For instance, she appreciates having control over her own schedule, avoiding office politics, and not having to explain why she’s late or absent. Managing her store means she can rest when there are few customers, use her phone, and eat whenever she likes without worrying about being on a tight schedule.
Being close to her family and having the freedom to spend time with them without needing permission from a boss is a huge plus for her. Despite the occasional challenges, like dealing with busy days and a range of customer attitudes, she finds great value in her work.
Mangapo believes that running a business allows for a level of freedom and personal satisfaction.
Here is the full post:
“Malay mo balang araw ikaw naman magkaroon. Huwag mong ikahiya na isa kang tindera/negosyante, alam mo bang sobrang blessed mo kasi hawak mo yung oras mo, walang sesermon sayo, hindi ka magpapaliwanag kung bakit ka late at bakit ka umabsent, walang magpapa overtime sayo, hindi ka stressed sa traffic pauwi, nakakatulog ka pag walang masyadong customer, nakakahiga ka, nakakapag cp ka anytime mo gusto, nakakain ka anytime mo gusto depende sa oras na di busy, malapit ka sa family mo, at nakakagala ka kasama ang pamilya mo kahit anong araw mo gusto na hindi magpapaalam sa boss mo. Oo nakakapagod minsan pag sunod sunod yung customer tapos mag isa ka lang, merong mga customer na nakakaintindi, merong ding hindi. May araw na matumal may araw na umaapaw yung kaha mo. Kaya sobrang blessed mo once na may negosyo ka maliit man yan o malaki dapat mo pa ring ipagpasalamat sa maykapal.
