Hi, I’m Maria Elena Mongaya-Solon
I’m a proud wife, mother of five, Business Management graduate, and passionate Filipina entrepreneur—on a mission to live with purpose, create financial freedom, and help others do the same.

🎓 From Business School to the Factory Floor

After earning my degree in Business Management, I began my career not behind a desk, but on the production floor. As a Line Supervisor at Fairchild Semiconductors in the mid-1980s, I witnessed firsthand the early stirrings of digital transformation—emailing colleagues across departments and even connecting with teams in Silicon Valley.

That early exposure planted a seed: I knew the digital world would shape our future. And I wanted to be part of it.

💼 A Shift into Sales Strategy & B2B Marketing

I transitioned into B2B sales and marketing, helping manufacturers connect with the right clients through clear communication and strategic outreach. My role became a bridge—linking technical expertise with business outcomes—and over time, I built a reputation for ethical, value-driven business practices in the Philippine market.

📲 Embracing the Digital Space

My early fascination with digital tools evolved into a deep dive into online business. I studied, networked, experimented—and slowly but surely built my digital fluency.

From social media engagement to customer profiling and email strategy, I’ve embraced the modern marketing landscape with one goal in mind: to help entrepreneurs grow in ways that feel aligned, sustainable, and human.

🧠 Sharing What I’ve Learned: Digital Skills for Everyday Entrepreneurs

As part of my mission, I now help others build digital confidence and capability—especially those who feel overwhelmed by tech or don’t know where to begin.

Whether you’re exploring email marketing, content creation, automation, no-face video strategies, or simply how to show up online in a way that feels authentic—I’m here to simplify the process and help you build momentum without burnout.

Digital skills shouldn’t intimidate—they should empower. And I’m excited to walk with you as you learn, apply, and thrive in this digital-first world.

🌱 Retirement, Reinvented

As I step into this new season of life, I don’t see retirement as an end—but as a rebirth. A chance to create, contribute, and slow down without stopping.

I’m pursuing two paths that light me up:

Affiliate Marketing – Flexible, ethical, and scalable, it allows me to work with brands I believe in and help others—especially women and parents—build something meaningful of their own.

Creative Home Solutions – I’ve also launched a venture in epoxy resin flooring and countertops. It’s hands-on, artistic, and practical—a business I’m passionate about building with my own hands and vision.
