Nagdeliver ng Carpet Noon, May 8-Figure Ecommerce Business na Ngayon
Imagine this. A Brand licensing company just hired you as a marketing specialist.
At dahil ikaw nga yung new hire you are tasked, kasi you “volunteered” na i-deliver yung carpet na gagamitin nyo sa event.
You, all sweaty at ngarag kakabuhat nung carpet from parking up to the trade hall ng Megamall.
In between ngarag-ness may bilga kang narinig na, ‘Uy! Jungie! anong ginagawa mo dito?!’ out of nowhere.
Yung marketing manager na pala nung mall! (who happened to be a college classmate, btw!) What are the odds. Kapag sinuswerte ka nga naman.
Wala ka namang ‘no-choice’ but exchange pleasantries diba? Kasi na caught-off guard ka na. Makakatago ka pa ba?
Feeling ashamed to the point ‘na-gusto-mo-lumubog-or-isuklob-kaya-yung-carpet-sa-sarili-mo’ moment.
Kaya ang ginawa mo na lang with the remaining ounce of shame left in you, you answered with a poker straight face ‘Nagdedeliver ng carpet! Periodt.’
A one-of-a-kind experience indeed.
An experience that is so notable that months later led this new hire na (itago natin sa pangalang Jungie), to tender his resignation and seek greener pasture to another corporate job, having the same typical buwanang sweldo every kinsenas and katapusan.
But just after three months nagka-tanggalan naman, like literally telling you ‘I love you…I hate you..and goodbye’ all-in one go. Ending wala na naman trabaho.
Freelancing career was Jungie’s saving grace, doing freelance on the side while being employed.
Yet the fear of losing his client kept him on his toes, anxious of the TV na nabili nya ng installment, like you or other freelancers out there with a similar predicament.
Fastforward, years later led to an 8-figure eCommerce business, coaching career, and multiple streams of opportunities and income.
Of course, it's not all easy money. There's a high risk involved in this kind of business venture, but if you're willing to take that risk, the rewards can be great.

Key Takeaways
“Siguro may nakikinig sa 'tin dito na, your parents might be aging, kasi lahat naman tayo tumatanda and yung parents mo maaari na...patanda na. However ikaw, financially hindi ka parin stable, kumbaga marami ka pa rin kailangan sa buhay, kumbaga kahit gusto mo sila...bigyan ng mga...comforts in life...gusto mo na bigyan sila ng sasakyan...or sariling bahay, hindi mo rin magawa kasi ikaw mismo...may financial challenges ka rin so...hopefully tayong lahat eh magkaroon din ng similar or maybe more...success para...maibigay din natin yung mga...gusto nating ibigay sa...mga taong mahalaga sa 'tin” - Airon Dela Cruz
“Pinakamalaking challenge talaga as business owners is the exhaustion, yung masyadong...masyadong nanggigigil doing everything dahil feeling nila "makakatipid ako 'pag ako lahat 'cause I don't have to pay for people na i-hire ko", the truth is kapag ikaw ang gumagawa ng lahat, nalilimit kasi yung capacity mo to scale..at masakit 'yon sa profit...aside from you, focus ka lang sa business, sa expansion, sa scaling...you have other people doing the task na paulit ulit lang naman” - Jungie Gumiran
“I think hindi...hindi mo natanong yung pinaka-importante...na before you do all this...parang baka kasi...baka kasi after this podcast, mag-source ka na agad ng supplier, ayusin mo na yung asset mo, gumawa ka na ng operation team...without fully...parang getting ano ba yung mindset na dapat meron ako before ako mag-start ng eCommerce business...kasi andali...andaling magsabing...oo dapat okay yung mindset mo...yung 7-figure, 8-figure, kaya mo yang gawin eh” - Jungie Gumiran
“Yung ginastos mo lahat ng ipon nyo sa bangko...magulat na lang yung asawa mo...na wala ka na palang pera, kasi 'pag mag-fail itong business mo na 'to dapat buo ka pa rin...kasi maraming nagfaifail yung business and then after noon wala na, napapariwa na yung buhay kasi nga nilagay na nila lahat doon eh...at saka bukod dyan kapag 'di ka financially prepared to...to enter a business kumbaga hindi mo siya kayang i-finance talaga na ginagalaw mo pa yung...savings mo nandoon yung desperation eh” - Jungie Gumiran
“Ito lagi nating sinasabi, choose to serve...diba dapat...dapat know your why...pero syempre kasi kung wala kang profit you cannot operate and sustain the business. And ayun din naman yung reason kung bakit ka...nag-business 'di ba? because you wanted to...to kahit papaano ma...mabuhay or mabuhay...ma...ma-support yung lifestyle na gusto mo, for your family, para sa sarili mo, for your parents or whoever man...yung gusto mo i-support, kung bakit mo ito ginagawa” - Jungie Gumiran
“And ito yung pinaka-importante sa lahat na nakakalimutan...or hindi nagagawa ng majority of the entrepreneurs na kilala natin kasi very focused sila on selling, marketing the product, nagkaka-eyebags kasi kailangan work, work, work 'di ba...nakakalimutan mag-enjoy...na...na guys this is...this is a...fun...journey, yung pagiging eCommerce seller...iba yung satisfaction kasi na "ay okay na 'to and I wanted to create another product ulit" - Jungie Gumiran
