That is bad attitude. I learnt this, ironically, from my best-friend-turned-enemy’s mum. For her furniture business whose turnover is at least $30k a day, she has the same sayisfaction between selling the $1000.00 wardrobe and the $8.00 pillow. Every little bit counts towards your attitude.
MoreWhen I first started my business, something that took me quite some time to accustom myself with was taking money from my friends. The kind of moral accountability that accompanied their support for my business, ie when they bought belts from me, was quite choking. Will my leather be too weak? Will my buckles break […]
MoreIf I hadn’t quit activities frequently over and over again, moving on to try something different that is out of my comfort zone, I wouldn’t have found my passion and started my business of genuine leather products. There is a limit to the wisdom of perseverance if you’re to succeed. If you’ve been trying something […]
MoreIt is my prerogative to say now at age 26+ that I have persevered, albeit only three years, going through countless ups and downs, taking the largely unbeaten path to achieve my mid-term targets. In the twinkle of an eye, I have been rebuilding my family business for three years running and am still going […]
MoreTest test. With all that hype about social media and business, I am starting to learn how to integrate social media with my business. Here’s linking my wordpress to my facebook. Test test.
MoreMy business website http://www.aquilafashions.com is a projection of what I obsess myself with, and these obsessions haven’t changed a bit since I was young. The only difference is the way they manifest themselves between then and now. Something I did alot, spending a proportionately way too large part of my time and effort doing, was […]
More“You have staff working for you, don’t you?” “How’s business?” “So what do you do exactly?” The truths to these questions are usually less ideal than the answers. The glory in being an entrepreneur lies in the success of having emerged victorious, of being the self-made man from scratch. In the meantime, weather the indignity.
MoreI was pissed as a kid leading up into JC when I finally broke. CCB were my grades. I could never attain the level of excellence I strove for like the other kids and I never understood why. The forced shaving of my hair during military service was the best thing that ever happened to […]
MoreI embarked on building my business around genuine leather belts because I die die wanted to help my dad out regardless. As a result, I re-framed my perspectives by hook or by crook, and found a way out. If I had focused on what most around me told me, that there was no way I could penetrate and make […]
MoreI feel guilty for working too much over the last two months. Business is good, collecting cash is gooooooood but it is not a reason to continue in like manner. It is wrong, to satisfy the insatiable urgent want for short term cash when, truth be told, other more important things were sacrificed. Time to […]

MoreI sometimes wonder what it’ll be like working on my family business together with my grand-dad if he was still alive; in comparison with other multiple-generations family business in which the grandparent helms the business.
MoreI am a leather products manufacturer and designing products is part of my job scope. In these past few months into my business, I have an idea, albeit a raw one, on what it means for something to be designer. It is a fine line; art and thrash; designer and thrash. I always found it […]
MoreThe biggest possible price I have and can ever pay to start my business was to see my mum cry countless times because of my refusal to get a job. The best I can do to repay her love is to ensure I succeed.
MoreAt least some of my Google search engine optimization (SEO) efforts are paying off and I have customers. Else, it’ll be really sian like when I just started my business 6 months back, talking to air.
