“If you want shorter copy, go for SaaS.” – Aiza Coronado Domingcil 

“Each of us has our own unique path. For example, ayaw mong sumakit ulo mo or handle a big team, there’s always a choice for you. And the only way to find that out is to actually try siguro. Kasi ako, sabi ko dati I will never build an agency, gusto ko solo lang, pero I’ve found the magic siguro when I started doing it. Sometimes, you won’t know yourself din unless you try. Your self din will surprise you. Like me, nagustuhan ko rin ‘yong leadership na lang.” – Aiza Coronado Domingcil

 “If you really want to scale, you need to create mini courses. The only way to grow on your team is to focus on your training materials.” – Aiza Coronado Domingcil
