want to give credit to my own mentors, Dennis Patterson who forced
me into learning web design and Photoshop. And to my first cousin
Joel Limjoco Pastor who allowed me to put up all the sites I wanted,
such as www.batangasnow.com,
www.limjoco.net
our clan site for several years, until my company acquired its own
dedicated web servers! to Dennis and cousin Joel, thanks so much!"

Diana Limjoco has won Most Inspiring Entrepreneur for Micro Business
for the Province of Batangas, award will be given by Governor Vilma
Santos and Mayor Dimacuha at the Batangas Provincial auditorium
on Nov. 7th, 2008. Sponsored by www.gonegosyo.net
here is a little about the organization http://www.gonegosyo.info/content/view/1/6/
Online entrepreneur Diana
Limjoco-Pollard was just learning how to make websites in
1998. She started with the www.batangasnow.com
website as a form of public service to her home province. Since
that start, she has kept the website running. www.batangasnow.com
serves to showcase the beauty of Batangas and its people.
Diana is a Filipina American who was raised in the city of
Batangas. The Limjoco
family and clan
is deeply-rooted and well-known in the province of Batangas.
Diana's values were also formed by the Batangas culture through
her parents
and ancestors.
As she developed her skills in website-development, Diana continued
to construct multiple websites which she manages and maintains.
She has established an online entrepreneurship that was born
out of a combination of skills, talents and willingness to work
with others in making a successful business over the internet.
Diana,
together with her partner and husband Dave
Dewbre, has also established Digital Web Group Inc, a corporation
of well researched and marketable products, innovative technology,
and a flexible work environment. Digital Web Group is now in
the process of establishing partnership with a Filipino entrepreneur
who sells environment-friendly Electric motor bikes. www.environmentfriendlystore.com
At present, she has recently started www.powerlinked.net
, which features different entrepreneurs. As part of her
public service, aside from www.batangasnow.com,
she also runs a website for Subic.
Diana considers herself as a late bloomer in engaging into
her chosen field of business. She started being an online entrepreneur
when she was in her 50's. At 60, she is going strong, radiant,
and successful in her business endeavors. Thankful for her blessings,
she would also like to mentor other potential entrepreneurs.
This entrepreneur is also currently in the process of creating
a mentor program for the Digital Web Group. Diana plans to pave
the way for young entrepreneurs online.
As a successful online entrepreneur, she has some tips for the
young and aspiring: "The best advice I can
give is not to give up, to believe in what you are doing. If
you can make money doing something you love, all the better.
Get the right team together, in which you do not have to micromanage
to help with your growth. The idea of "if you want
something done right, do it yourself" is perhaps for carpenters,
not for trying to grow a sustainable business venture that will
last beyond you. If you create an organization and it folds
after you are gone, then you have failed to empower people to
carry on after you, which is of course my goal in all things
I do."
