Yo Work Fun Nation!

Happy (Lunar) New Year! 恭喜发财! Gōngxǐ fācái!

Eto naaaa I’m back! 

Let me start by sincerely apologizing for not emailing you since December 15, . 

I’ve had several of you email and PM me if I removed you from my list. 

Di naman, I simply took my time with a really extended holiday hiatus. Sobrang habang vacation lol.

Because why not hehe. 

After 2 hospital runs for my 6-year old in the space of two months, obligations to family and so many events over the holidays that extended way after the new year… I simply needed to take a break muna. 

I hope ikaw din, you're fully recharged na. And sakto lang din kasi ito yung time na nag start na mag wane or disappear mga new years resolution natin. hehe

So I'm here to make kulit uli sayo to rock 2024.

Did you miss me? Be honest! (lol okay lang if hindi)

I know I missed you guys though, kasi personally I missed the emails tha I regularly wrote. where I nerd out over productivity techniques, conquer our inner mindset sigbins (thanks sa mga nag-invest sa book), and I always have an absolute blast sa mga replies and emails nyo. 

Speaking of reconnections, 2024 is the Year of the Dragon!

Sakto! Kasi dragons symbolize power, strength, and good fortune. 

As freelancers, we harness our own inner power and chart our own destinies each day.

We face obstacles head-on with the ferocity of a fire-breathing dragon! When opportunity knocks, we spring into action with the swiftness of a storm dragon's winds!

Also, like freelancers, dragons love hoarding treasure—kasi nga naman we want to see the fruits of our labor.  

But just like Smaug from Lord of the Rings  (10/10 would watch again), we can sometimes get too attached to our treasure and isolation. (parang ako lang, nag-isolate na naman lol)

So tara, come on let's join us! it's time for us to unleash our freelancing dragons and start reaching out to prospects uli (if you haven’t been doing so already).

No more procrastinating or self-sabotage this year - we've got work and fun to do!

Let me know , are you ready to growing your freelancing business in the year of the dragon? 

Good to be back!
