Ever had that moment when you wanted to start somethingโ€”a new career, passion project, or a simple goalโ€”but doubts held you back? ๐Ÿค” "Kaya ko ba โ€˜to? Paano kung mag-fail? Baka hindi pa ako ready.โ€

Real talkโ€”walang perfect timing. You wonโ€™t know if you can until you try. Minsan, hindi naman skills or resources ang problemaโ€”kundi yung takot natin. Takot magkamali. Takot ma-judge. Takot na baka hindi mag-work out.

Pero what if mag-work out pala? Paano kung yun na yung breakthrough na hinihintay mo?

So today, challenge yourself. Do it kahit hindi ka 100% ready. Because growth happens in action, not in overthinking.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Whatโ€™s one thing youโ€™ve been wanting to start but fear is holding you back?

Minsan sa buhay, may mga bagay na hindi natin ine-expect na pwede palang pagsamahinโ€”parang taho at ice cream! Akala mo weird? Pero once matry moโ€ฆ ANG SARAP! ๐Ÿคค

Ganun din sa life. Sometimes, the best things come from the most unexpected combosโ€”new opportunities, unplanned adventures, or even surprising friendships. Kaya kung may gusto kang subukan pero natatakot ka kasi "baka hindi bagay"... go lang! Malay mo, yun pala ang magpapasaya sayo.

Try something new today! Kahit sa simpleng taho with ice cream muna. ๐Ÿ˜‰Coni Chi

Throwback to this heartwarming note from my daughter, she was 10 years old back then โ€” at grabe, talagang tumagos sa puso ko. โค๏ธ

Back when I was still working in my 8-5 job, fieldwork was life. Aalis ako ng bahay habang mahimbing pa silang natutulog, at pag-uwi koโ€ฆ tulog na ulit sila. May mga times na 1 week to 2 weeks training na hindi makauwi. ๐Ÿ˜”

May mga araw na gusto kong humabol ng oras, pero hindi ko magawa. I missed so many precious moments โ€” mga kwento nila after school, mga yakap sa umaga, pati simpleng kulitan sa gabi.

At one point, napatanong ako sa sarili ko โ€” Hanggang kailan ganito? Working hard to provide for them, pero yung oras na kasama ko sila, unti-unting nawawala. Parang may kulang.

Kaya nung nag-shift ako to freelancing, everything changed. Yung mga dating nami-miss kong kwentuhan, ngayon kasama ko na sila sa bawat tawa, lambing, at simpleng moment. Alam mo yung feeling na habang nagta-trabaho ka, kasabay mo silang kumakain ng breakfast, lunch, dinner o bigla ka na lang yayakapin kasi gusto ka nilang katabi? Grabe, sobrang priceless. ๐Ÿฅน

I realized na yung sahod, kayang kitain ulit. Pero yung oras na nawala, hindi mo na mababalik yun. Kaya nung nagkaroon ako ng chance to work and still be present for my family, I grabbed it. At never ko siyang pinagsisihan.

So to all the working parents out there โ€” I feel you. Alam kong mahirap i-balance minsan. Pero kung dumating man yung pagkakataon na pwede kang magtrabaho nang may oras para sa pamilya, grab it. Hindi mo pagsisisihan yung time na kasama mo sila, promise.

Kasi at the end of the day, hindi nila matatandaan kung gano ka ka-busy noon โ€” ang maaalala nila, kung nandyan ka ba nung kailangan ka nila. โค๏ธ

Hindi ko in-expect that one day, Iโ€™d be standing in front of future professionals, sharing tips and real-life experiences on crafting application letters, writing resumes, and nailing job interviews.

A huge THANK YOU to Belen Francisco Foundation College of Social Work for having me as your resource speakerโ€”what an honor to share what Iโ€™ve learned along the way.

Special shoutout to Ms. Ann Mascarinas for spearheading this seminar, Professor Marilyn Tuyo for the warm welcome, and of course, to Maโ€™am Emma and Ms. Glorei for the recommendationโ€”super grateful for your trust! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

Sana kahit papano, nakatulong ako sa pag-prepare niyo for the real world. โ˜บ๏ธ

This quote hit me hard because, honestly, Iโ€™ve been thereโ€”yung gusto ko lahat perfect bago magsimula. Planado dapat, ready lahat, walang sablay. Pero guess what? That mindset kept me stuck. I realized na kung hihintayin ko pang maging โ€˜readyโ€™ lahat, Iโ€™ll never start.

What Iโ€™ve learned? You donโ€™t need perfection. Kung anong meron ka ngayon, thatโ€™s enough. Small, imperfect steps are better than no steps at all. Progress is progress, kahit paunti-unti.

Life is beautiful, and itโ€™s too short to wait for everything to be perfect. The journey itself, kahit messy or uncertain, is what makes it worth living.

Kaya if youโ€™re overthinking like I used to, let this be your sign: start na. Kahit hindi perfect. Just start. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Before, in my past job, we had this Individual Performance Contract (IPC) - basically, a list of targets set for the year, and then youโ€™d get rated based on how well you accomplish them.

Back then, it was all about meeting the companyโ€™s targets, with no room for personal growth.

Now? Things are different. For the past four years, Iโ€™ve continued setting my targets, but the twist is... itโ€™s not just about work anymoreโ€”itโ€™s all about ME. How I can grow as a person, not just as a professional.

And thatโ€™s the beauty Iโ€™ve found in freelancing: itโ€™s all about your growth, your journey, with the freedom to design the life you want.

So when it comes to goal setting, here's how I do it now:

1๏ธโƒฃ ๐๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐†๐จ๐š๐ฅ๐ฌ: I first ask myself, "What do I want to achieve this year for my well-being, my relationships, or my personal growth?" It could be something like improving my health, learning a new skill, or spending more quality time with my family. Once I have those goals in mind, I break them down into smaller, actionable tasks. For example, if I want to focus on health, it might start with something simple like drinking more water or doing 10-minute stretches in the morning.

2๏ธโƒฃ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐†๐จ๐š๐ฅ๐ฌ: I think about where I want to take my career and business. What do I want to achieve this year? Whether itโ€™s expanding my services, learning a new software, or growing my client base. I write down these goals, then break them down into smaller steps that I can work on week by week. No goal is too big when itโ€™s broken down into manageable tasks.

And hereโ€™s the best part: Learning to celebrate every little win. Kasi minsan, weโ€™re too focused on the big picture and we forget to acknowledge how far weโ€™ve come.

So if youโ€™ve been feeling stuck, try this: pick one for your personal and professional goal and ask yourself, โ€˜Whatโ€™s the first tiny step I can take today?โ€™ Then, do it. You donโ€™t need to have it all figured out right away. Start small, and let the momentum build. ๐Ÿ˜‰

๐๐’: Shout out to my Happy Hustler client who introduced me to this new way of goal-setting because itโ€™s been a game changer ever since!

Throwback to a panel interview. The interviewer asked me, โ€œ๐™’๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™™๐™ค๐™š๐™จ ๐™จ๐™ช๐™˜๐™˜๐™š๐™จ๐™จ ๐™ข๐™š๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช?โ€

I took a deep breath (para kunwari calm lang, lol๐Ÿ˜…) and said, โ€œ๐™„๐™ฉโ€™๐™จ ๐™–๐™˜๐™๐™ž๐™š๐™ซ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ฌ๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™„โ€™๐™ซ๐™š ๐™จ๐™š๐™ฉ ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ฉ ๐™›๐™ค๐™ง ๐™ข๐™ฎ๐™จ๐™š๐™ก๐™›. ๐™๐™๐™–๐™ฉโ€™๐™จ ๐™จ๐™ช๐™˜๐™˜๐™š๐™จ๐™จ ๐™›๐™ค๐™ง ๐™ข๐™š.โ€

Fast forward to todayโ€”OMG, Iโ€™ve set so many goals na. Some? Totally na-achieve naman pero yung iba? Ugh, epic fails ang peg. ๐Ÿคฃ

But hereโ€™s what Iโ€™ve learned along the way: ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ธ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—š๐—ข๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—ฆ.

For others, it might look like:
๐Ÿ‘‰ A steady paycheck (hello, security bes!)
๐Ÿ‘‰ Fancy titles like manager, director, or VP
๐Ÿ‘‰ Letters after their name (hello, MBA, CPA, PhD, LPT)
๐Ÿ‘‰ A new house or carโ€”kasi who doesnโ€™t want that, right?
๐Ÿ‘‰ or starting a new business

And honestly? Those are amazing goals.

The thing is success isnโ€™t one-size-fits-all. Itโ€™s not about what others think or expectโ€”itโ€™s about setting your OWN goals and crushing them.

So as we wrap up the year, let me ask you:
Whatโ€™s YOUR version of success? Anong goals ang ise-set mo for 2025? ๐Ÿค”
