About the Guest:
Suzette Bongalosa is an Online Business Manager based in Madrid, Spain. She’s a certified extrovert go-getter who did not pass on the opportunity to create her own Online Business Management (OBM) agency and learning platform, Suzify Co. that comes with a reasonable price tag. Through Suzify Co, she helps educate, empower and serve Filipino business owners and online business managers to have the confidence to create a life they deserve.
Inspired by childhood friendship, the young Suzette was a military fan. Before she became a full-fledged agency owner, Suzette was a production assistant, business owner, Google Ads manager, and virtual assistant.
A flamenco dancer in a long-distance relationship, Suzette set out for Spain. But it turned out she fell in love more with the place and settled there to pursue and manifest her dream life.
Suzette is also the Superwoman activator of the brand Wear.Woman. It’s a print-on-demand apparel business focusing on women empowerment that channels her frustrations on the biases against women into something creative and uplifting.
This proud freelancer and coach at The Freelance Movement Tribe also volunteer her time as an events manager at Exceptional Sports Philippines, a development organization for persons with special needs in the Philippines.
The things we have learned from Suzette in this episode:
- The lessons in freelancing are the same lessons you can apply in life.
- We are capable of manifesting our desires so we can achieve what we want in a relationship, career, or life in general.
- We are not born with confidence but we can develop it through the slow process of overcoming fear.
- It is the lack of confidence (not skills) that stops freelancers from getting clients and how the Online Business Management PH course can help them build their confidence.
- There is a spark of creativity amidst our failures and low moments; unless you ignore that “light-bulb moment”, something amazing is going to come out of it. It’s a matter of choosing what you want to see.
