Are you unhappy with your office job? Are you fed up with the daily tiring commute to and from your workplace? Do you want to discover how to earn a living -- specifically from running an online store -- right in the comfort of your own home? Or maybe you're handling multiple tasks or jobs now, but don't know how to cope? Are you juggling different projects and want to learn how to manage?
If your answer to any or all of the above questions is yes, then you might want to attend the Real Ways to be a WAHM workshop on April 5, 2014, organized by the dynamic team behind Manila Workshops. Topics to be discussed are "How to Run an Online Store" and "How to Manage Multiple Projects."

Here is some information about the speakers:
Joy Gurtiza
Joy has been working at home for more than 10 years. She’s a blogger, a food photographer, a book author, and an online marketing consultant for a technology provider for florist retailers based in California.
Joy has actually been dubbed a 'WordPress superstar' because she has set up tons of WordPress and membership sites for her Canadian employer. She also helps her Canadian employer to run his business, by taking care of his other employees and freelancers from around the world.
As an entrepreneur, Joy also set up a small inbound and outbound call center for clients from New Mexico and Florida in 2005 to 2009. While running a call center at night, she operated an English school during the day.
Joy considers herself a master of trial and error -- from managing a small call center operation to getting people enrolled in her English school; acquiring a franchise in food business to operating a photo booth for local events in Manila. While not all of these were profitable, she thinks it was all worth the shot.
Joy can be found blogging about her food recipes and awesome food photography at joybites.com, or ranting about daily life at joygurtiza.com.
