Sorry We Missed Our Call 🌤️ I Invite You Back

ree

I still remember when I was 24.

I had an interview that could change my life.


I prepared everything — printed my papers, cleaned my truck, even got a haircut the day before.

But that morning, it rained hard.

I got lost, panicked, and arrived two minutes late.


I didn’t go inside.

I just sat in the parking lot — embarrassed and frozen.


Thirty minutes later, the man I was supposed to meet called me gently.

He said,


“You’re worth the job. I understand how it feels to be late. It’s not the end of the world — come in, let’s continue.”


He gave me another chance.

And a few months later, I became his Sales Manager.

That moment taught me something:


Grace and standard can exist together.

We can hold people accountable — and still hold the door open.


So if you ever missed a call with me,

you’re welcome to reschedule.


Because sometimes, it’s not a lack of discipline —

it’s just fear, timing, or life getting in the way.

But you can always start again.


Now, from today forward, I’m putting clear value on what I’ve been giving away for free —

not because I’ve changed,

but because I want everyone learning under CebuVA to understand how real business works.


In business, respect begins with time.

When you confirm an appointment, show up.

When you make a promise, deliver.


This is not Western or Filipino —

it’s universal business etiquette.


Many talented Filipinos are not failing because of skill —

they’re failing because of standards.


And that’s why I teach — not just entrepreneurship,

but business culture.


The Value of our "Free Time/Products"

📘 A book — ₱1,800 ($30)

🎓 A course — ₱6,000 ($100)

📞 A 5-minute call — ₱600 ($10)


Not because of the price, but because of the principle.


What we don’t pay for, we often don’t prepare for.


This is not about money — it’s about mindset.


If we want to rise from ₱100,000-a-year thinking to ₱100,000-a-week leadership,


we must practice the habits of professionals:

✨ punctuality

✨ preparation

✨ follow-through


Freelance and agency life isn’t “work.”

It’s Live Life Workflow.

We live it, we breathe it — all in, all the time.

Because this is not just a job.

It’s a calling.


So yes — if you missed your call, come back.

Let’s start again, with grace and growth in the same room.
