About a year ago, I’ve decided what's exactly i want in my life, what's my target and how to realize it... I’ve decided to give up on my study and determine to pursue my dream, without hesitation, that is to start my own business… I’ve always dream to continue my late father’s legacy.. To build my own business empire.. A year ago, I only know that I want to be an entrepreneur but I don’t know how to.. with all money I got from my last PTPTN’s loan payout and with some injection from some peoples, I started my project blindfold… then, I’ve encourage some of my fellow companions to share my dream and together I hope we can realize it.. Our first base was at Ukay Perdana.
It’s not long before we got our first project. The project was to build an online company registration system. Oops, before I further this writing, I will tell you what my business is actually. My company is an IT-based company. We provide IT solutions for our clients which cover from software to hardware support including our new SMS services. We are very optimistic about the prospect of our business. It’s all about faith really.
There are a lot of mistakes I’ve done during this whole process and I believe that these mistakes are necessary…. My first mistake was to start this company with so many people.. There are five of us plus my little brother who join us right after he graduated.. Well, what in my head at the moment was I want to become a successful businessman and there is nothing more satisfying when I can accomplish it with my closest ones. And it is actually wrong approach when there are too many people in my new tiny “sampan”. It’s really tiring to keep the “sampan” floating while it keeps sinking. First 4 months are really testing our patient’s durability when there are too many cash flow out than in.. Everybody is stressed out; we keep change our operation based to balance our cash flow.. And it’s not long before some of my partner gave up.. I don’t blame them for quitting and yet I still hoping they will come back when my “sampan” become a boat that’s can fit us all..
Now, after nearly one year after I founded my company, there are three people left in my company including me and we still striving to reach it to the ‘comfort zone’.. Is it really exist ‘comfort zone’? Well, if we can achieve the ability to get our regular pay at every end of the month, I will be happy…. And I believe that we are not very far to get there.. As I said before, it’s all about faith.. Faith is only what I got a year ago, and it’s still growing stronger inside my heart…
Well, that’s all folks, till the fingers meet the keyboard again, adios…
Wassalamz…
