Sure, any employee can be a passive entrepreneur by earning income
from his invested savings. He can also be an active entrepreneur by
having a sideline after office hours and during weekends.
But when I say that an employee should be an entrepreneur, I am talking about mind set.
What makes an entrepreneur different from an employee? An
entrepreneur owns his business and has “placed his money where his mouth
is”. He believes he is good in a specific business and he will run it
as the owner. His success is completely dependent on his creativity,
strategy, hard work and determination.

Pinoy Entrepreneur: Mindmill Ideation Co.
Abu Dhabi – UAE
Esmeraldo “Esmi” and Emily “Loi” Pangilinan
Please describe your business.
Mindmill Ideation Co. is a creative boutique studio. We are a graphic
design and photography company providing visual communications and
other related services for marketing and advertising use.
Why did you establish your own business? Can you tell us when and how you started?
I think everyone would want to have his own business. The other
reason is that I think creativity can flourish more if one has more
control in the creative process.
We started in May 2004 as a simple arts and craft shop with
photography services. Our initial operation included activities
involving workshops for kids, servicing small clientele like some fine
dining restaurants and mini-mart chains. We also did mural paintings in
the beginning and some art deco concepts for wall decorations and
fittings for start up hotels. One unique product we did and still do is
styrofoam and paper sculpture for some event. Our photo services
incorporate events, press conferences in addition to one-on-one shoots.
