Only supernormal profits can afford the entrepreneur’s dream of riches and its accompanying dreamt up travel and consumerist lifestyle. For the aspiring entrepreneur who still holds a day job, the equivalent of supernormal remuneration in the office is a pay package higher than the average of your peers for a given jobscope. It follows that […]
MoreUnless one’s business is fully digital and can work from home, the small business owner requires space for operation. “Entrepreneurship” has taken on a badge of honour, and that persons who eventually succeed have surmounted an incredible amount of risk. Among those risks is the exorbitant land cost, i.e. rent or mortgage, that one needs […]
MoreA great platform to push off on your quest for entrepreneurship is the financial services. This industry has the state’s backing. It is for both the faint-hearted and the strong, but certainly not for non-westerns who do not fancy western coats and ties as much as this industry demands of them. The corporate-ness of this […]
MoreThat 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 […]
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.
MoreI love the putu mayam near my house. The Indian auntie selling it starts work at 9am and ends shortly after 12 noon. I suppose she goes home and tend to her kids after that. I’ve decided that selling putu mayam is the best business model in the world. At $0.70 per piece, I usually […]
