developing children. He also learned various play methods suited to children of varied age groups.
In college, he took up B.S. Psychology to further understand human mind and behavior. While he was studying, he
was able to borrow capital from his parents which he used in putting up an activity center for developing children. In
this business, Rob and his classmates formed a team leading different activities harnessing children’s skills and
behaviors. At first, there were only few schools that availed their team building services and recollections. As the
children enjoyed and effectively learned proper social and emotional behaviors, news regarding their good service
spread out easily and sooner, bookings for seminars and activities busied up Rob and his team. ‌

His business started actually when he attended nursing arts lessons during his college in which he learned a lot
regarding different activities of developing children and various methods suited of varied age groups. But he did not
end it there, he pursues it during his college, getting more curious about the psychology of the human mind. In this,
he already started a business which is a very good starting point since if we would like to develop a business, we
must start early, and Rob started when he was in college. After college, he still continued his business and continued
to add several more activities such as tutorial and home-based schooling. This is actually a good mentality of Rob
that also helped him to be a successful entrepreneur because an entrepreneur should never settle on something but
an entrepreneur must develop or create new products and service for them to be able to keep up in the industry.
