You all probably know me from other other previous posts. I know this forum is the place where we can share tips, ideas, anything we have learned, that might help others. I am a Filipino residing in a quite remote place in the UK. I am married to a British man and have one son age 6. I arrived in the UK year 2008 and was 8 months' heavily pregnant at that time. Year 2009, I gave birth to a wonderful son in my life.
Obviously because I was living in a very remote place, there was no way that I could find a job. I needed to take a ferry going out and about to town which took an hour to commute each day. Basically, my only option was to work from home - which had been my intention even right from the very start. I'd always loved the idea of having my own business, being my own boss and having flexible working hours and no boss or co-employee to deal with, as I had seen plenty of people around the world who'd no choice but to live life the way the majority of people do.
We always want an easy path. We are afraid to try new things and just want to play safe all the time - even if we don't feel like it - because we have no choice other than to work all day long - even at night - as we have plenty of bills piled up needing to be paid for the next day or so.
I mentioned this because that is what I have seen with my own husband. He works hard himself, just for us to survive on a daily basis - even if I know he wanted to stay at home with his family.
I always wanted to help my husband, so that someday, I could hand him some cash even just to pay for my own needs such as clothing, shoes or family support in the Philippines. Or it could be for food for us all to share each day and have all the money ready to pay for whatever is needed.
I have this burning desire myself to succeed in life - even if I have to do it alone - even if, at the time, I find it hard to explain to my husband that I have to do this because I need to help myself.
Even if your husband can afford the luxuries in life you want to experience, still you have to do something to fulfil your mission in life before you die and that is my burning desire in helping me to be inspired.
From 2012, I started to see the fruit of my own labor. In the early stage of living in the UK, I was totally dependent on my husband - from sending support to my family in Philippines, down to my very own personal needs. But it didn't make me feel happy at all although, of course, I am grateful. I did everything to be a good wife and a good mother. I have done plenty of washing, cleaning, doing all the household chores. But for me it isn't enough to be just a perfect wife or a perfect mother because I believe I can also be a full time wife/mum and, at the same time, a provider in the family.
In a matter of years, I began to see the fruit of my labor, the success that I had been waiting for. I am married with a wonderful man but he has no confidence in himself on what he can accomplish in life, and that is why he has no trust in my ability either. I have spent countless hours on my laptop just to find ways in which to make money from home. I bought all the e-books that I could think of and read them all day/night. I haven't even been involved in Filipino groups although there are quite few here in our locality but they also seem busy working day/night.
It was the year 2012, where I started to see the fruit of my labor. I have a steady income daily as - being a Gold Power Seller on Ebay, I mainly sell women's clothing. I loved what I am doing and I enjoyed doing it. The minimum I sold was 100 dresses per week.
In the same year, 2012, we moved to Aberdeenshire. I rented a place at my own expense - approximately £2,000 a month. Expenses include food/bills and while my husband has no permanent job - as he is not comfortable to work aside from the places he gets used to - he is also self-employed. Living in a new environment is quite hard for anybody, especially if you haven't any job waiting on you like my husband. He's had to start afresh, while I myself pay everything for the whole year. year
2014 was when we decided to move back to where we originally were, as my husband was finding it hard to adjust to the living environment in our new place. I started to slow down my Ebay business to venture out, as I have found another business opportunity that I believe has more potential than what I am currently doing at the moment. I am on Network Marketing which provides great passive income in the long run - an incentive my Ebay business didn't have.
If you or your wife needs a job - or even get bored at home - wants part/full earnings of approximately £200-$3000+ a month, just find me on facebook and I will get in touch and speak to you to discuss all the business opportunities that we are about to offer you. I am happy to welcome either of you on my team. I have a good solid income on my Ebay, yet this one I believe is what I am looking for.
We Filipino here outside, need to pool our time and energy to build businesses from home. I will mentor you on how to get started until you are comfortable to do it on your own. We have to support each other and build a growing team and rock the stage. I am looking only for self driven, motivated individuals who have good leadership skills, are willing to learn and can be coachable.
At this stage of my life, I am proud to say that I am officially self employed, properly registered on HMRC and financially independent. I have two bank accounts and a credit card with a credit limit of £4k. I able to travel anywhere in the UK/Europe for £35 return and have annual free companion vouchers due to my points accumulated each day for my business. I am now a naturalised UK citizen and I paid it all by myself. I send support to my family in the Philippines with my own hard-earned money. I have never asked a single penny from my husband since year 2012 ; instead, he is the one who asks me for money now.
Note: if this writing against the forum policy, feel free to delete as my intention is to help other FILIPINOS who also want to build a business from home.
Thank you.
PS. Contact details are listed on my profile page. I'll be in touch with you. I promise we can build a solid team.
