The Woman with
The Midas Touch By Ruby Asoy-Lebajo

very venture she engages in turns to “gold” in no time. This is not surprising for entrepreneur Baby Go for she has the Midas touch, so to speak. The hardworking lady fondly recalls how her Chinese friends often referred to her as someone with a “lucky charm.” “They always got me as their industrial partner because once I got involved in their businesses, they boomed,” she smiles. She has become an expert in trading, the buying-and-selling business, and eventually, in producing quality indie films that have received accolades from different award-giving bodies here and abroad. She started in the real estate business — buying and selling, plus lending using
collaterals. She then ventured into 24/7 convenience stores and grocery stores in Laguna, which she decided to close down to be able to concentrate on her present ventures. Baby Go’s group of companies includes PC Goodheart Foundation International, Inc.; BG Productions International, Inc.; BG Showbiz Plus Magazine; BG Tamayo Global International Company, which is involved in the distribution of health products; BG World Group of Companies Royal Imperial House Trading & Consultancy, Inc.; a for-VIPs only BG Art Gallery & Antiques International Incorporated, among others. For a business to grow, she stresses
the need for careful planning and concrete direction. Go shares, “It’s important to have focus. Establish each business first before starting on another one.” But more than that, always have courage in all your endeavors, she enthused. “I’m fearless. I’m very much sure on what business I should venture into,” she says. “Give time for your plans. For example, if I need to shoot a movie, I need to have budget and time for that.” She adds one should stay firm on his plan. “If you don’t have direction, you will be in disarray. I’m hands-on in all my businesses. I don’t have partners. I’m the sole owner. Once I dream of something, it becomes a reality. What I’m proud of is that I don’t have loans in the bank.”
