Jill of all trades, a mistress of none is a fallacy for a person who loves learning and coaching others. To be skilled in many areas is a gift and this fact can be testified by a person soaring in time of the pandemic.
Someone told me before that I need to specialize in an area within my profession. I am an accountant and held different roles in various financial areas of different industries, giving me a comprehensive understanding of the field. I can put up very strong business control measures in order to protect an organization.
I love expressing myself through writing. I can create poems and blogs in a matter of minutes during a surge of emotions or when I simply like a topic. I was trained by Subject Matter Experts from a well-known Company so I can write business manual processes easily by digging into principal details and connecting data relationships. These are the reasons why I can easily detect missing areas, errors, double payments at a glance, and pass on the judgment if it is fraudulent.
To have served a broadcasting company taught me the value of advertising in a business and to be previously employed by a government agency that mentors sole proprietors making myself into one, made me familiar with the ups and downs of business thus I can genuinely empathize with entrepreneurs.
The pandemic became a period of awakening for me. As I fear Covid and death, I start questioning my ultimate purpose. So with deep thoughts, I asked my role on how to leverage the God-given talents to the current situation and needs. My soul started to seek truth and freedom and becoming a freelancer in the service of entrepreneurs is the best option.
Hence, I am currently obsessed with adding value to myself, my future clients, and to the world. I am continuously learning digital advertising, especially Search Engine Optimization and Ad management for those wanting to build audience and engagement, increase sales, and launching something new or big. I am also taking workshops and courses to learn how to better myself, and practicing whenever I could to improve my leadership and communication skills.
So if you are an entrepreneur seeking an overall go-to person for your business pain points on making revenues and lessening expenses, or simply wanting someone to chat with - to cheer for your success or listen to shortcomings, I would be glad to be of help.
