As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).

After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.

Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Truths

This week I'm hoping to make a big decision, to situate my business in Canada or here in the Philippines.  To tell you the truth though, they both make me feel uncomfortable and scared but for totally different reasons.
I know I can do it though; I already did it once... twice actually, in Korea.
What's the worst that can happen, really.  I fail?!  I fail and have to move back in my dad's house for a bit while I save up money... to do it again.  Oh darn, have to live rent free and have my meals with my adorable little Polish dad.  That's the worst?!  Seriously?  Doesn't sound so bad after all.
 This was a harsh truth I was told today.  I knew it but to hear it come out of a face-to-face conversation with someone I respect and admire as an entrepreneur and fellow fierce female, wow.  It was a bit hard to swallow but it was a truth I really needed to hear.  Thank you.
