00:00 It became easier because of our personalities.
00:03 We're different, we're opposites.
00:05 So if one of us is stressed, we balance out the other.
00:09 I think we're very understanding of each other's situation.
00:13 The available products in WPH are beauty products.
00:20 We have washes, we have swims, we have naked and daily.
00:23 And I think this is just the start of something so much bigger.
00:28 Which is a new bridge, a new connection from Korea to the modern Filipinas.
00:37 So my fear is that Korea will be towards different parts of France.
00:45 We really need to use the factories that are being made.
00:49 We'll try to use each product and we have to curate the product that will be good for the Filipinas.
00:58 And I think that's something that we can offer.
01:03 The uniqueness of the products that we're creating.
01:07 It's not available here in the Philippines yet.
01:11 And all of the products are personally created by the three of us.
01:15 Not just the first, but the majority.
01:17 What's funny is, that's also the reason why I started doing it in the first place.
01:24 I really wanted to go out of my comfort zone.
01:28 I want to be careful what you ask for.
01:31 That's what motivated me.
01:35 But the first few months, even before this event started,
01:40 that's the reason why I was nervous.
01:44 Because it triggers the doubts in me.
01:46 Is this right? Is this the right start?
01:48 Is this the right thing to do?
01:51 We have invested so much time, effort, and of course, the expenses are also there.
01:58 But I don't lose my fear when I'm with you.
02:03 The meaning of this is, that's the reason why I'm nervous most of the time.
02:08 That's when I start to fear.
02:11 Whenever we see each other, we're like, "Okay, we got this. We got this. We got this."
02:17 So we do it together.
02:19 Whenever we have a preparation, we message each other.
02:23 There are long messages.
02:26 That gives a lot of confidence.
02:29 We get energized and inspired.
02:33 Although we have some doubts, we have more optimism that this would work out.
02:44 It's a good thing that we're trying to be a product that can be heard by people.
02:50 It's not just a Korean product, but it's a brand.
02:56 Best in Korea, Hidden Gem.
02:59 It's easier because we have different personalities.
03:04 We're opposites.
03:05 So when one is stressed, we can balance out.
03:09 I think we're very understanding of each other's situation.
03:14 It's our first time, both of us, to start any business.
03:18 It feels good to have each other.
03:22 You know what your hustle is like.
03:24 Whenever you feel scared and doubt, that's a good sign.
03:32 You're growing. That's a sign that you will be growing in the future.
03:38 You have to let it out.
03:40 You have to express yourself.
03:42 You can't really let fear win all your life.
03:45 So you're going to see the best of yourself.
03:49 You don't need to be scared.
03:51 It's okay to fail.
03:53 Don't be scared of failure.
03:55 At least you learned something.
03:57 You're better at it.
03:59 Before trying, you won't lose.
04:03 Especially when you're investing in yourself.
04:05 Even if you don't get the outcome you want or what you expect,
04:09 business is a failure.
04:13 You still have to learn from what you did.
04:16 It's not what you expect.
04:19 You know what you need to adjust the next time you do it.
04:23 I think it's so important to build yourself confidence.
04:27 You're around the people who support you.
04:34 I think the next step is to really focus on getting the products out there.
04:41 Now that you launched the website,
04:43 you want to add more products and explore what you can for the next stage.
