I Hit a Ceiling at Work, Then Built a Company to Shatter It for Others

Let’s cut to the chase: The BPO industry and I were frenemies for almost a decade. Picture this—you’re a go-getter, grinding away in an office for three years, hustling for promotions and bigger paychecks. I clawed my way up the corporate ladder, transforming my income from a paltry ₱13,000 a month to a solid ₱75,000.

But here’s the harsh reality: At some point, I hit a ceiling so hard, I almost got whiplash. No matter how much blood, sweat, and overtime hours I poured into my job, I was stuck. My income was capped. My growth stalled. There just wasn’t room for advancement unless a miracle promotion came knocking—and in that company, promotions were more mythical than unicorns.

Then came the curveball: COVID-19.

A Pandemic Epiphany

Lockdown flipped my world upside down. Working from home, I suddenly reclaimed hours I never knew I was losing. No soul-sucking commute, no frantic mornings getting work-ready. Just pure, uninterrupted time. I poured that time into online workshops, process improvement courses, and all those personal development rabbit holes. And the most profound realization hit me: I never wanted to return to office life.

So, I didn’t. I dove into remote work, and let me tell you, it was like discovering a treasure chest. Not only did I claim back my freedom, but my earnings skyrocketed. My once-capped ₱75,000 salary transformed, multiplying 3x, 4x, and sometimes even more. Do the math! Imagine the possibilities of breaking free from financial limitations without sacrificing your sanity or time with loved ones.

The Turning Point: Scaling Success

But here’s the twist. My client list exploded. Suddenly, I had more work opportunities than I could handle. There I was, sitting on a mountain of work, wishing days had more than 24 hours. It was a bittersweet problem—an abundance of work but only one me.

And then came the ultimate lightbulb moment. What if I could help other talented professionals—people who, like me, were ready to break free from their own glass ceilings? It wasn’t easy getting here. I had applied to over 500 job posts online, gone through hundreds of nerve-wracking interviews, and spent hundreds of thousands of pesos on upskilling and personal development. Building my network and reputation took grit, sacrifice, and endless determination.

I knew I could fast-track that journey for others, sparing them the exhausting grind and costly mistakes I had endured.
