Hey,

I got a major decision to make, and thought I could get some helpful advice here.

Where I stand right now:
I am 19 years old and living in Sweden. Currently working on getting an ecommerce business off the ground with my business partner, which I have done for almost a year now, with struggles. I am confident it will be successful, as soon it will get some traction -> investment and then start scaling it to other countries and so forth.

However I did now get an opportunity to move and work in the Philippines.
The upside would be:
Experience. From helping my stepfather and an entrepreneur from Dubai expanding their business to the Philippines (which I will be responsible for).
Warmer climate/Motivation
Get better at the English language
Earn money to use for capital for business - which I need for some ideas I want to execute, but can't because of lack of funds
Cut loose and don't live with my parents
Push myself out of my comfort zone

Downside:
Not be able to focus as much on the startup for a few months (I can move back and focus on it 100% when it starts to take off)

So should I go or stay?

P.S If anyone here lives in the Philippines or have lived there, please tell me some useful information about the life there as well as the "business atmosphere" :)

Thanks!
