1. Can you give more detail or background about your educational

attainment before you became an entrepreneur?

I study and graduated in Central Philippine University and I took business

management as my college degree.

2. What are your reasons as to why you decided to start a business or

engage in entrepreneurship?

Well, I remember way back my college life I had this talent, skill, or hobby for years,
maybe even since childhood (lol) Now, I see a potential opportunity to develop a business
structure and monetize it. So I decided to use my passion to start a business, then start
writing a business plan and go for it. If not, then you should likely rethink using your passion
and explore other small business ideas. Consider another talent or hobby that can bring
emotional fulfillment, as well as a tangible financial reward.

4. As a woman, what are the challenges or difficulties that you have

encountered in this field (of business)?
In this sort of situation, you know women may feel as though they need to adopt a
stereotypically “male” attitude toward business, competitive, aggressive, and sometimes
harsh. But successful female CEOs believe that remaining true to yourself and finding your
own voice are the keys to rising above preconceived expectations. Also always remember
that “Be yourself, and have confidence in who you are.”

4.1 How did you handle these problems, particularly the competition and
other issues in the corporate world?

Competition is healthy for businesses it will force you to innovate, staying ahead of
the curve. Yet that rivalry can also be intimidating. You don’t want to back down, but you
aren’t sure how to combat competition. Every company deals with this problem. What
success comes down to is developing a plan to help you better serve your customers,
accurate branding, and team support.

5. What are the tips and advice that you’d like to share to aspiring
entrepreneurs?
Well, someone asked me also this same question, and what I always answered to
them is follow the 9 steps and what are they?
Get started
Be humble and Learn
Keep things Simple
Plan out everyday
Get a mentor
Grow your network Seize opportunities
Accept Feedback
Rest
Don’t link your success as an entrepreneur to the success of your idea. Your job as
an entrepreneur is to iterate through ideas to get to the right one. Part of that process is
successfully proving your ideas are no good. Failure is part of making progress.

We are all aware that entrepreneurship generates new employment opportunities for
those who started the business as well as for others. It also offers society various solutions to
managerial, organizational, and business-related difficulties.
With this scheme of events, women plays as an instrumental part of
entrepreneurship. Not only men have been recognized as an important source of economic
growth but also, women.

Please pay close attention to what is about to be reported as we go through the

steps to discover how our interviewee, a boldly attractive, generous, and diligent woman
entrepreneur, became succesful.
Mrs. Jennelyn D. Ramos, A filipino chinese citizen, a college graduate, a business
owner whose age remained confidential; all that matters is that she appears young looking to
us.
She studied in Central Philippine University, where she pursued and earned her
degree in business management.
Throughout her childhood, she already had this talent, skill, and passion and now,
she sees potential opportunity to formalize it into a business structure and monetize it. She
therefore made the decision to turn her love into a business, started developing a business
plan, and went for it. However, it does not apply to all people therefore, she added, that we
should think of a different skill or pastime that can provide both a concrete money return and
emotional delight.

Giving her being a successful entrepreneur, Mrs. Ramos own more than 10
enterprises, I believe that you’ve also heard of:

We all probably know that in situations like this, women may feel pressured to adopt
a stereotypically "male" corporate approach that is aggressive, competitive, and occasionally
unpleasant. Yet, according to successful female CEOs, the secret to overcoming expectations
is to stay loyal to who you are and create your own voice.

Businesses benefit from competition because it forces them to innovate and stay on
the cutting edge. The key to success is creating a strategy that will enable you to better serve
your clients, producing appropriate branding, and having a supportive workforce.
In any case, when someone asked me the same question, I always replied, "Follow
the 9 steps, and what are they?"

Don't equate the success of your business with the success of your concept.
Entrepreneurship requires you to cycle through ideas until you find the best one.
Before she concluded our conversation she added that we should always remember
that making progress involves failing sometimes.
