Hi guys,
I am in Ohio, U.S. now. My wife is filipina. She is in Tuguegarao in Cagayan Valley. She has a small internet shop there. I have been having trouble getting her here, so I will be moving there and setting up IM business for my wife. Frankly, Most of this IM stuff goes right over her head and I get frustrated trying to school her in it.
It would be nice to develop a relationship with some Filipinos and possibly put together a team to do this stuff. Take it from me guys/gals, you cannot do it all yourself. There is just not enough time in a day or for that matter, in a lifetime. I have been a contractor most of my life running the business, doing sales, and doing the work. You need to have a system and you need the right people working with you. It is no different in IM, if not more so. There is just so much to know and more to do even with automation.
Also:
Perhaps some people here from the Phil can help me with some complications that I am having on the more to the Phil, please.
It appears that in the provinces there is a serious problem with internet access speed. My wife's internet shop has a connection speed well under 1500 kbps. What speeds are you getting in your part of the Phil?
She also has problems with power outages all the time. I am considering a windmill for power but not sure how that will do with the typhoon winds there. Are power outages a problem where you are?
Also, my wife has some property that needs work in Cavite. We are thinking about just selling it and using the proceeds for other pressing needs. I am wondering what internet speeds are like in Cavite and what the conditions are like for an American there?. If they are good, it might be an option to move there from Tuguegarao when I get there.
Also, it is so hot in the Philippines. I am not used to the heat. Baguio was much more comfortable, maybe even cold at night. I have been trying to get my wife to consider moving to higher elevations where it is cooler. But she is concerned about earthquakes and volcanic activity near Baguio. Can anyone suggest a location at a higher elevation with a cooler, more comfortable climate where internet access speeds are good (preverably over 5000 kbps)?
Thank you for your time reading this. I appreciate any input you can give.
Regards,
DW
