00:00 If this is going to be a long discussion, I'll be the candidate for that.
00:03 Good morning, Arlene!
00:04 It's only 4 in the morning, you know where I'll be meeting.
00:08 Where are the other people?
00:09 Not the other people, there are some.
00:11 It's almost 10 in the morning.
00:13 Let's go to YouTube first.
00:14 There.
00:15 Yep, we're not done yet.
00:17 The field shoots are still there.
00:20 And it's almost afternoon.
00:22 It's hard to earn, right?
00:27 But the business we'll get to know is the collaboration of Ganap
00:31 and selling to bazaars has become a discount to earn for her cookies.
00:36 Quezon City, Makati or Taguig, as long as there's a bazaar, join the business.
00:46 I like listening to podcasts, watching videos.
00:50 There are cookie shop owners, I saw them doing bazaar.
00:52 I said, why not I try it too.
00:54 I coordinated with the organizers,
00:58 I asked around what's the nearest and best location.
01:01 We're purely online.
01:03 So for online, we only offer 6-pack and 12-pack.
01:07 When it comes to bazaar, we offer single pack, 6-pack and 12-pack.
01:12 Even if the cookies look simple,
01:15 Maan said it's hard to start because she chose to be unique.
01:19 The available cookies in the market are the chocolate chip, right?
01:23 We wanted to go outside the norm.
01:26 We wanted to offer something unique.
01:28 Oatmeal cookies are desserts that can satisfy you
01:31 at the same time being healthy and with less guilt.
01:34 The idea of oatmeal is to make ingredients in her cookies that Maan got online.
01:39 There was a trend on TikTok of overnight oats.
01:42 We got addicted to it.
01:44 We had a stack of rolled oats.
01:46 We thought of what we can use.
01:49 So I baked oatmeal cookies.
01:51 There were jokes that it's delicious and you can sell it, which I did.
01:55 She thought it's easy to start but it's hard to talk about it.
01:59 I just do it at the same time in my corporate job.
02:02 In the morning, I work.
02:04 Then when it's afternoon, I make dough and bake.
02:08 There are times when I underestimate the orders.
02:10 I run out of dough to make.
02:12 So there are times when my work is delayed because I have to be ahead.
02:16 I can't do it at the same time in my corporate job.
02:19 So I stopped.
02:20 That's why Maan stopped her cookie business.
02:23 But it seems like she has a different calling.
02:26 In 2022, I decided to reopen.
02:29 We changed the recipe.
02:31 We improved our cookie.
02:33 We sold it to a bigger store.
02:34 We also changed the packaging.
02:36 Mookies will earn what I earn in my corporate job.
02:40 So that's my sign.
02:43 After almost six months of operating, I decided to go full-time.
02:48 After letting go of her corporate job and going full-time in her cookie business,
02:52 it became a sweet success.
02:55 When we started, for a week, we sold 200 to 500 cookies.
03:01 Now, we can accommodate 1,000 cookies a day.
03:05 We can do 20,000 cookies in a day.
03:07 If you want to make it, there's nothing special about making oatmeal cookies.
03:12 First, you mix butter and sugar.
03:17 Then, you add each egg one by one.
03:19 When the wet ingredients are ready, you add the flour.
03:24 Since Maan's oatmeal is the best ingredient,
03:28 she adds more rolled oats to the cookie dough.
03:31 The disadvantage of making cookie dough is that
03:34 you need to put it in the freezer for an hour
03:37 until it becomes thick before you knead it to make it chewy.
03:42 (upbeat music)
03:44 To make it more delicious, she also mixes chocolate chunks and almond nuts.
03:51 Maan will bake it in a preheated oven for 12 minutes.
03:56 When the timer rings, the oatmeal cookies are ready.
03:59 Can we just eat?
04:02 I think after all I've done, I deserve these cookies!
04:09 Maan's oatmeal cookies also went to Makiling's set.
04:13 Hey, stop!
04:14 You like that, right? The white one.
04:15 Maria Makiling, help me!
04:18 I got a classic.
04:20 I got an almond.
04:22 Oh, it's soft!
04:23 Let's see.
04:24 You'll be an artist later.
04:25 It's good.
04:26 I like it.
04:27 It's really good.
04:28 I like this one. It's chewy.
04:30 I like the chewy one because it's not hard to chew.
04:33 I think it's really soft.
04:34 9.5 out of 10.
04:36 9.6 out of 10.
04:38 It's perfect for those who are on a diet.
04:39 It's like an oat bar.
04:41 It's chewy in the texture, not crunchy.
04:42 But it still has a crunch because of the cereals on top.
04:46 And it also has s'mores.
04:47 It also has marshmallows on top.
04:49 It's delicious because it compliments the sweetness.
04:53 It's different because the sweetness and saltiness are not too overpowering in the mouth.
04:58 It's delicious and chewy.
05:00 It's healthy because the ingredients used are like oats.
05:04 Along with Maan's continuous growth in her oatmeal cookies,
05:08 she also continues to master the business.
05:11 I just learned on YouTube.
05:13 It's just self-taught.
05:15 And I know that I still have a lot to learn.
05:19 Even if I'm just selling cookies, I also want to be inspired and learn.
05:24 So I enrolled in a pastry class.
05:26 I started to invest in myself.
05:28 I learned a lot.
05:30 It also helped me develop other flavors.
05:35 Maan's old home-baked oatmeal cookies are now in a baking studio.
05:41 We started with P5,000.
05:45 From time to time, I was able to earn money from the business.
05:48 I just let it pass in the business for investment.
05:51 So now, we have a baking studio where we make dough.
05:55 Maan's cookies also have more flavors.
05:59 Dark chocolate and walnut cookies are the only OG.
06:01 That's our classic oatmeal cookies.
06:03 Now, we have almond butter, cereal milk, and caramel toron.
06:07 We also released coffee s'mores.
06:09 We call it limited edition.
06:11 So from time to time, we change the flavor
06:14 so that there's still excitement in the flavor.
06:17 Because of Maan's experiences, she also learned a lot.
06:22 It was hard for me to find people and delegate tasks.
06:26 I used to doubt that if I don't do it, the product will deteriorate.
06:31 But I learned that I really need to delegate tasks.
06:35 I also need patience and trust in people.
06:39 It's life-changing that I can now focus on admin tasks
06:43 and I have a lot of time to look for bazaars.
06:46 I went out of my comfort zone.
06:49 I proved to myself that I can still do business.
06:53 Time is a big investment in business.
06:56 Learn basic accounting.
06:59 That's where you'll see if your product is profitable.
07:03 Don't believe that you can control your time when you're in business.
07:07 That's not true.
07:08 You can't control it because you need to wear multiple hats.
07:12 Especially me, I started with a one-man team.
07:15 You just need to surround yourself with supportive people around you
07:19 that will remind you why you started when you're tired.
07:24 There's no easy going business.
07:29 Whatever you plan to do,
07:31 you need to put in the time and focus.
