I was recently invited to attend my first Mompreneur Summit and have to say that it was more than worth it to spend a Saturday afternoon listening to inspiring stories and advice shared by a selected number of speakers. The snap above was taken while I was asking a question during the Q&A portion of the event.

Janice Crisostomo-Villanueva is the power woman behind Mommy Mundo, the company that has successfully ran this event for three years now.

Here are some quotes from the speakers of this year’s summit that stuck with me:

“Giving our children quality experiences is a priority for my husband and I. Not things they can buy or watch.” – Hindy Weber-Tantoco, Founder Holy Carabao Farms & The Fun Farm

“Buy luxury items only if you can afford to buy at least ten pieces of it.” – Rose Fres-Fausto, Financial Expert/ FQ advocate

“Invest in amazing packaging (for your brand). You’d be surprised how many products we’ve been unable to feature because of this.” – Mia Fausto-Cruz, editor-in-chief of Smart Parenting

“You can never teach values. But you can always teach skills.” (tips on choosing her team), Eileen Juan, Founder & CEO of The Picture Company

“You will never feel successful in your business, if you’re not successful at home.” Rissa Mananquil-Trillo, owner of Happy Skin Cosmetics

“If you want to get into entrepeneurship, you have to make the jump, do it wholeheartedly 100%.” – Jacque Yuenchian-Guttierrez, owner of Happy Skin Cosmetics

“Eliminate your guilt (for being a working mom), guilt will just make you stay stuck in a middle ground. When you spend time with your children choose quality over quantity. You know it’s quality when even you’re having fun and the kids fondly remember it. ” – Mutya Laxa-Buensuceso, Country Manager of Luxasia Philippines
