On Bravery and Courage: A businessman’s path towards his fulfilled dreams and momentous success
By Hannah Rania Disalongan
The moment a man realizes his meaning and purpose, he commits, he persists, and he becomes unstoppable—no path there is to walk through other than the endless road of fulfilled dreams and momentous success.
With a vision of creating something out of nothing, with the desire to create and contribute meaningfully with quality, and with the devotion towards his wide array of purposes—these are certainly Rudy Vallo’s reality today. He is a businessman, a tech genius, and a self-care advocate who builds, who innovates, and who influences. Beyond these established titles and roles, he ultimately is more than just his line of brands and businesses.
To be independent, to be courageous. Growing from a family who used to run a construction company, Vallo surely had the innate qualities in his DNA to navigate the complex world of business. As early as his teenage years, young Vallo learned the significance of independence and courage. Faced by financial inconsistencies, he took risk by confronting such obstacle through reselling of cellular phones and developing websites in college. This simple side-hustle of his became a booming business at his former school which later made him realize how even without anyone’s guidance, he was able to create something out of scratch with his own hard work. Vallo earned his first success. He made it through.
On highs and on lows. One thing about one’s journey, it is not always as smooth sailing as one wishes to be. Life has its highs and lows. He learned he would not be always on top. Being in a premier institution such as Enderun Colleges, the profit Vallo earns from his side-hustle was insufficient to cover his education fees and what more in sustaining his lifestyle in general. As he always feared an inconsistent life, this struck Vallo even more when he failed to acquire a degree and a diploma on time due to their family business and financial security falling apart. Young Vallo felt everything came to a halt.
Staying a float, far from the ground. Despite the challenges he and his loved ones dealt with, he chose to stay afloat. He chose to be strong. But little did the young aspiring businessman knew, his life was just about to take its major turning point. His father got diagnosed with colon cancer. Years and years of battling with such illness, one could definitely say his father was a fighter. However, no battles do not come to an end. Vallo arrived at his life’s most critical point when his father died. It did leave scars. It did leave wounds. But Vallo remained standing on his feet, far from falling on the ground—far from crumbling apart.
Redemption and reclamation. Indeed, life is one’s greatest teacher. With all the circumstances Vallo had faced, he found his meaning and purpose. “I want to honor my father.” Words bearing so much weight from a man who knew exactly what he wanted to do. Vallo felt indebted to his late father. He wanted to continue his legacy and repay him for all the sacrifices he made for him and his family. Thus, a crystal clear desire to build his own construction company has begun, a very familiar field in which the late Vallo patriarch once reigned.
Without much resources from supplies and equipment, ties and connections, and even a degree for business, he managed to start his own construction company. He became more known and established in the construction industry when he secured a 3.5 million construction deal despite being a fresh face in the field. All he had for making this project come true is his on-hand experience, technical development skill set, and his business instincts. This breakthrough made him establish a name in this line of business and be one of the first choices when it comes to managing construction projects. Today, his construction company is still successfully operational from its foundation in 2015.
Not vanity but self-care. Vallo has a wide range of interests and there is absolutely no reason for him to suppress his potential in a single field alone. As what he always reiterates to his employees, there is always a need to replicate current success.Thus, the founding of Nebulabs Corporation in 2020, a health and beauty company aiming to shatter boundaries across all backgrounds and cultures. Shortly after, he began to work on its very first brand and Vallo’s brainchild, LIPOWHITE. Brought by his will to advocate for the significance of self care, LIPOWHITE was born.
Have you heard of the #NotVanityButSelfCare campaign? Well, this is what LIPOWHITE aspires people to relate with and understand. As a beauty and wellness supplement brand, LIPOWHITE wants people to acquire complete access to high-quality and effective supplements that will support their unique health and beauty needs. Vallo envisions LIPOWHITE as a partner for wellness, one which beauty tags along. The brand believes that beauty and wellness can come together which its has the power to bring transformative experience to its consumers. LIPOWHITE eyes and advocates for accelerating self-care within people.
As the founder, Vallo is keen and meticulous in crafting his products. Today, LIPOWHITE has produced Korean formulated premium products such as the Oral Sun Defense (Oral SunBlock and Whitening Supplement) and Skinny Glow (Detox Fiber Slimming Juice) that are very well known in the market for its quality and effectiveness. To deliver visible results, the formulation of these products are carefully crafted using the finest natural ingredients, backed by scientific research and innovation. These products were made to improve people's overall health and wellness. In fact, Skinny Glow is meant to give detoxification magic to one's body which a health benefit that could help remove the risk of colon cancer.
On triumphs and success. In the present, Vallo is looking forward to another business venture to amplify his brand LIPOWHITE namely the LIPOWHITE Club, a first of its kind social selling club in the Philippines. This initiative will empower young entrepreneurs nationwide by providing a premier social selling platform. These young entrepreneurs may have the capability to be LIPOWHITE’s brand partners that can obtain different earning opportunities and exclusive benefits. The LIPOWHITE Club is committed to assist young entrepreneurs by providing them the opportunity to establish networks, identify and strengthen their selling skills, and achieve maximum income potential. Through LIPOWHITE Club, young entrepreneurs will be empowered to innovate and to influence the communities they belong to.
One would realize how every stepping endeavor that Vallo took always ends up to the idea that up until now he held onto his promise from many years ago that he wanted to honor his father in every step of his way. A true testament to how one can inspire others to continue making change. Indeed, inspiration after inspiration. Nevertheless, what Vallo wanted to register in people's minds is that his greatest achievement was not his multiple businesses at the present— but himself. He is his success. He is an achievement. Tides of different strength and intensity have triggered Rudy Vallo all throughout his life but at every wave he encounters he always finds himself being the ocean. Be brave, be courageous
