Publisher’s Note On the road to entrepreneurship F irst of all, allow us to extend our heartfelt thanks to all who supported us through the years. And, as we grow and follow the changing times with a more vibrant, we will also be there to remain committed to our credo of providing you with the latest, more enriching and enlightening news and views that will truly make your day and uplift your well-being. Just as we salute our OFWs for all the hard work, sacrifice and all the amount that they generously fill the coffers of both our country and their families, let us also open and hone their mindsets that after a career of ‘smooth sailing along the seven seas,’ they can also make that transformation to become successful entrepreneurs, in a wide array of businesses that they have interest in, or are willing to discover. And, there are several agencies, both government and private that can open the doors towards their new beginnings as self-made business people. Indeed, helping them become entrepreneurs will instill among them more confidence as well as leadership skills that can help them best life’s challenges. At the same time, entrepreneurship also means people: aside from making lives easier, it will also enhance how they best put to good use the human factor of strengthening good partnerships and relationships, long-term wise.
