Four (4) Websites that every Empleyado sa Umaga, Negosyante sa Gabi Should Know

"Raketera, Mompreneur, kuratsa, ang babaeng walang pahinga", whatever you want to call me. 

For those of you who doesn't know me, I still have my day job while working on my online business at night. I make sure that I allot 1 to 2 hours a day to do sales, marketing, accounting and designing while making "chika" to my customers.

Teaching my daughter to blog :-)

Aside from this "online selling" nightly ritual, I also make sure to update my blog and write articles to promote the brands who gave their full trust to jlofied.com.

I don't feel that this is work anymore because I am really enjoying and I have the passion in what I am doing right now.

But one of the challenges that I am facing is not having the right support staff to help me run the business. Like any mompreneurs I know, we tend to do it all by ourselves.

But let me tell you a little secret on how I was able to survive and still achieve that Work-Life balance we are all aiming for. Despite having a lack of support staff, I was able to outsource some of the "jobs" that I don't  have time to do anymore through these websites that every "Empleyado sa Umaga, Negosyante sa Gabi" should know and use.

MOVE WITH GRAB

I don't go to work driving my own car. I have my personal reasons why it is more practical for me to commute or just uber or grab to work. That's why I choose #MoveWithGrab.

The "Empleyado sa Umaga" in you should not be that stressed-out in commuting to work from Mondays to Fridays. And having the convenience of a point-to-point service to bring you to your work place will give you more time to prepare for the day ahead.

#MoveWithGrab is a point-to-point service operation during rush hours in the morning and at night. Let me give you the reasons why: 

• It's a worry free commute and you will be able to skip the long lines with their guaranteed seating feature. 
• Fixed, affordable fares. Private car trips starting at only P69 pesos.
