Myla Ignacio Cudilla

Overcoming Challenges and Finding Success

the owner of the company.

When the pandemic hit, Myla lost her job as a personal assistant, which motivated her to start her own business. She started selling her designer bag collections and other stuff that she didn’t need online, and that’s how VMC Bags and Accessories was born. Under Filpreneurs LLC’s business license, Myla could operate and transact smoothly. She now earns more than her previous salary and has total freedom of time.

Myla shared some of her strategies for balancing personal and professional life. She prioritizes her health, exercises regularly, and sets goals and priorities to manage her time. She believes that having a supportive and loving husband has been a significant help to her. Myla advises other women to have a proper mindset, time management, and set priorities and goals. She also believes that challenges will always be present, but with hard work and smart work, one can achieve success.

Myla has learned that no matter how good your intentions are, there will always be someone who will take it negatively. She advises not to take it seriously but instead see it as a challenge to prove them wrong.

When it comes to leadership, Myla believes that it requires qualities such as being a good listener, empathy, and setting an example. She treats her employees as part of her family and communicates with them effectively.

Myla’s life story is a testament to the fact that hard work, determination, and perseverance can lead to success, even when the odds seem stacked against you.
