June was an especially inspiring and exciting month for Connected Women’s meetups as they held the biggest edition of this event last June 27 in 15 cities across four countries (Philippines, Singapore, Pakistan, and the UK). These cities were Baguio, Bohol, Cavite, Cagayan De Oro, Cebu, Iloilo, Lahore, Makati, Pampanga, Pagadian, Pasig, Quezon City, Singapore, and London. An estimated more than 350 women were able to form new communities, share stories, and learn more about entrepreneurship and freelancing that night.

One of the things that we cannot avoid in our life is....TAX. As a freelancer, this is true and can be confusing.

If you’re just starting out in your freelancer career, having checks with small to moderate amounts at first can be discouraging.

Most of us wish we had more than 24 hours in a day. It could be that you have way too much on your plate. Yet, more often than not, it's a matter of "unconscious planning" in order to do proper time management.
Vicki Lew
Almost 150 women from all over Pampanga attended our Connected Women Launch and #SheMeansBusiness workshop! Next stop, Iloilo!

So your job requires you to travel a lot. Indeed, the way we do business has changed in this millennium. People are not confined to their offices, and they often need to travel to various sub offices within the country or other parts of the world. If you’re a traveling entrepreneur, you may already be used to all the hassles of travel but if you’re a newbie to travelling for work purposes, you may need to arm yourself with tricks and skills to make your work travel hassle-free. Instead of the usual traveling light tips and ideas, here are a few tips upon landing in a new location.

When I was very young, about three years old, my Mom was sent to attend training sessions in other countries and all over the Philippines. Basically, it was my Dad who took care care of me then. I can also recall spending time with my Lolo and Lola in San Pablo City whenever my Dad needed to work and someone had to take care of me.

Randell never wanted pets. I think he even disliked, or was scared of animals.

I was always surrounded by men, and I loved it! My doting lawyer grandfather made me feel like a VIP all the time; my uncles fell for the charms of five-year-old me; my father made me feel invincible because he was there to protect me; and my seven crazy brothers made me laugh, cry, and trained me to be strong (imagine a life with seven strong-willed boys!). Oh, these men! Without them, my life would be boring; because of them, I have grappled with life’s many uncertainties.
