Laundrista

Time runs by so quickly! I did not realize that my last post was last year! I apologize to you, my readers (or lack thereof...haha) if I haven't updated for a while. Life has been so packed since last year. I remember not even being into the Christmas shopping spirit last December due to full schedule. So you ask, what have I been up to?

After opening a Nail Spa with two friends, I thought it was time for another project. This time, I decided to go back to my first business love -- the laundromat. I have been in the business for 7 years now. My first shop failed. Yes, it did and I'm not ashamed to admit! My dad told me that it is in failure where one finds strength and determination to move forward. Naks! I was too young then. Just off my 5-year corporate life, I decided that a 9 to 5 job wasn't for me so I jumped into becoming an entrepreneur. I was too nice that I let people take advantage of me and it was actually what led to its failure. I've learned a lot from that experience so when I put up the next one, it was a success! I think I'd be drowning in debt right now if it wasn't so. Thank you, God!

So here's to another blessing. I partnered with a good friend on this project so we can afford more machines because I know this time, it is going to be an instant hit.

Logo I made. Yes, did it myself!

Gorgeous community!

Let construction begin!


Machines delivered one by one. Wee!

Many have been asking if I am open to franchising. I am not yet ready for that. However, I offer consultation services for those who are interested to dig into the laundry business. You may contact me for more details. What have you been busy with lately? Care to share? =)
