Kim Chiu recently shared how she manages to juggle her responsibilities as both an entrepreneur and an actress.
Aside from being part of the entertainment industry, Kim has ventured into business and has become the official distributor of the Thai bag brand, House of Little Bunny, in the Philippines.
"Parehas ko kasing gusto 'yung ginagawa ko," she highlighted in her latest YouTube vlog. "Di ba nga sabi nila, pumili ka ng isang bagay na gusto mong gawin para 'pag nagtrabaho ka you don't feel like working. 'Pag gusto mo 'yung ginagawa mo kasi very passionate ka."
She explained that her passion for both acting and business helps her stay motivated.
"Nafu-fuel 'yung passion mo dahil gusto mo talaga 'yung ginagawa mo. And gusto ko talaga both. I am very lucky na, in this lifetime, nagagawa ko 'yung mga gusto ko," she said.
Kim also reflected on the lessons she has learned as a businesswoman, emphasizing the importance of trusting one's instincts.
"Speaking from experience, sa business talaga meron ka talagang instinct niyan. Hindi porke't narinig mo sa ibang tao na ‘ah maganda daw mag-negosyo ng ganito’, gawin ko rin. It might work dun sa tao na 'yun pero hindi ka sure kung magwo-work 'yun sa'yo," she pointed out.
The It's Showtime host underscored the value of believing in your own decisions when it comes to business.
"Follow your heart, follow your mind, and follow your instinct mo na ‘ah magiging okay 'to, ah gusto ko 'to’. Kasi it's your money, it's your effort, and it's your business, so mahalaga na 'yung mundo mo ay nakaikot doon at hindi lang sinasabi ng ibang tao," she said.
In the vlog, Kim also documented her recent trip to Bangkok, where she met with the Thai founder of House of Little Bunny.
"Actually hindi ko 'to madalas ginagawa ang mag-travel for work dahil lahat naman nagagawa ko siya through online. But this time, gusto kong mag-personal na pumunta sa Thailand to do business meetings and all. And gusto ko rin ma-experience iyon na sarili ko lang," she explained.
Kim expressed excitement about stepping further into entrepreneurship.
"Iba talaga 'yung feeling kapag ikaw 'yung nandun at ikaw 'yung nakakakita... Nakaka-excite and something different," she remarked.
