Great Discoveries by Joanne Yu Avendano: Fun and Educational Games for Your Child

The Mompreneur: Joanne Yu Avendano

Her Business: Great Discoveries

Why She Loves Being a Mom: I love being able to take care and provide the needs of my family. It’s also great when my kids appreciate us parents.

The Idea: I have always wanted to set up a business that I can really relate to and which speaks of what I do best and am passionate about. Great Discoveries is all about great finds that not only kids will enjoy, but will also strengthen the bond of the family.

On Her Inspiration: My kids Aaron Christian and Adrian Christopher, and husband Alvin are my inspirations!

What Makes it Unique: Current merchandise in the market are either too centered on individual play or are not available in the Philippine market. My products are unique and focus on strengthening the family bond. The twist-up crayons are really great for kids ages 3 and up, while all my other games are educational and are perfect for young families.

On Balancing Work with Family Time: I work full-time aside from handling this business but it’s doable with time management and a little sacrifice. J

Advice for Aspiring Mompreneurs: Make the most out of your time and be on the lookout for opportunities.
