It is not and will never be easy -- fighting and winning against depression. You might be asking yourself, “Where do I begin? Where do I start?”
But today, we bring you a warrior, a mom, and a freelancer like you, who has gone through life’s trials but came back a lot stronger than ever before.
Join us as we work on living and becoming the success we’ve always dreamt of today with Ice Hilario.
Ma. Luisa “Ice” Hilario helps 6-7 figure agencies and businesses systematize their steady stream of conversion and online presence, through her time-tested six-point- marketing system (A.S.S.I.S.T. framework).
With more than 8 years of experience as an operations manager & digital marketing strategist, she is adept with creative strategies, administrative and financial oversight, team building, and revenue generation.
Moreover, while her on-the-job experience has afforded her a well-rounded skill set, including first-rate analytical and problem-solving abilities, she is proficient in meeting or exceeding benchmarks and delivering exceptional results.
Ice is a Christ follower, happily married with three beautiful children, and was a former OFW band vocalist for almost a decade before jumping into operations management for five years and digital marketing.
She is currently an OBM (Operations Business Manager), with 8 premium clients at present.
In this episode, Ice shares how she’s achieved her true success and came back a whole lot better after winning against depression. Here, she inspires us to create an impact on the lives of other people as we align our work with worshiping the Lord.
“Everything that you’re going through, everything that you have right now, is a preparation of what you’re gonna be in the future. Hang on. Relax ka lang. Be able to make sure to embrace everything. Your journey is going to be a testimony to everybody eventually.”
