Filipinos are used to spending a big amount of money shopping gifts
and other material things to celebrate Christmas.
The setback is that after the holiday season, most of Filipinos
ended being broke or swamped with loans that they took just to celebrate the
season.
According to Statista, an online portal, the Philippine retail
sales growth this year is around 5.2% or $140.49 Billion (USD).
This growth number shows that the consumer behavior of the Filipinos
on shopping and holiday season spending will continue or even grow as the year goes
by.
Having learned this, most especially, if you have the money this
season and wanted to avoid the usual after holiday predicament why not shop for
business instead of material things?
Here are the three reasons why you must shop for business this
season:
1.
Your money will grow
Shopping for business this Christmas season will allow you to grow
your money. A business that you know how to operate will give you a substantial
profit.
The Profit will churn new profit until it becomes a
profit-producing machine.
One OFW Entrepreneur success story is the story of Imelda Ahalul
Dagus. She was an OFW for 16 years and when she came back in the Philippines,
she chose to be an entrepreneur and decided to grow Dennis Coffee – a coffee
shop started by her grandmother in Patikul, Sulu in 1962.
Her jump to entrepreneurship is made possible by her determination
to grow her money and become an entrepreneur.
2.
You will achieve financial freedom
Everybody wants to achieve financial freedom. If you will shop for
business this Christmas, you are taking a giant step towards financial freedom.
If the business you shopped this Christmas is a turnkey business
that can provide you profit monthly or annually, you will be able to achieve
the financial freedom that you wanted to have.
The best course of action towards financial freedom is by starting
a business. Your business will allow you as the owner to save funds and
allocate some of it in business expansion.
3.
You will profit instead of being a mere spender during the shopping
season
As stated during the start of this article, the retail growth of
the Philippines is high. Before you became an entrepreneur, you always spend
and give your money to other businessmen.
Now that you are a businessman, you are now part of their group
that makes a lot of money during this season.
Is this a great situation to be in or not?
You bet you are right that this is a better situation than before.
This great situation started when you shopped for business this year.
So what are you waiting for?
