We
all have dreams and ambitions in life. Some have more modest aspirations;
others dream bigger and aim higher. But one thing’s for sure, it’s never too
early to start planning – and preparing — to achieve your goals, no matter how
big or small they are.
Two
young and very successful individuals know this to be true: Reese
Fernandez-Ruiz, founder of social enterprise Rags2Riches, and Gian Javelona,
CEO of Orange Apps, participated recently in a panel discussion organized by AXA
Philippines, the leading global insurer. The two entrepreneurs shared their own
personal stories of success and achievement, the paths they took to get to
where they are right now.

Javelona
wanted to build something useful and to prove that there is always a light at
the end of the tunnel. ”I really wanted to give hope and provide jobs,” he says
of his company OrangeApps, a mobile app for schools. At the same time, he
wondered why there isn’t a tech company in the Philippines. He set out to fill
the void.
Both
Ruiz and Javelona, whose experiences provide valuable lessons to aspiring
entrepreneurs, believe that “you don’t
put your eggs in one basket,” or you don’t spend all your money in one go and
in one place, and that “the sooner you start, the faster you learn.”
AXA’s MyAmbition, an affordable investment and life
insurance plan that’s the first in the country to be made available online,
will help budding entrepreneurs put Ruiz
and Javelona’s insights on how to achieve goals early into actual practice.
