Hope


Was down with chicken pox for 2 weeks... Im glad i can go back and work hard next wed... Jus 3 days more... i will continue to work hard for what i believe...

Was watching this show "1 litre of tears".. talking about a true story of a gal who has a incurrable disease and how she fought on, and the probs she faces, and the things she have to give up even no matter how much she wanted it... And later passed away at the age of 25... She made me realise the importance of living, fighting on and how precious time is...

I know i have many probs now... I tried sitting down the entire day thinking of the solutions, but i often get confused, lost and discouraged, and later stopped to think so as not to make myself even more sad... But i remember someone told me to face probs and not to avoid them. I guess its time i write them down, paste them right in front of me, and solve them one by one...

Even if i cannot think of all the probs, but whenever i remember them, i will write them down, and solve them at the quickest time possible... I believe, one day, there will be no more post-it paper on the wall, and i can lead my life happily...

I need to have faith in myself, and i seek for peace in my mind... I pray for peace...

Now that i fall, i need to stand up as soon as i can, cause time is running out... I need to make it

Aja!

My Enemy, My War


Since this blog is not read by many... I should write you guys a story.... I was very political when i was working back in 2000, and thru all these polictics, i made friends, enemies and lessons. I told myself to lead a simple life, doing simple jobs... And i wont be angry with anyone who stabs me from the back cause i believed in karma.

But just recently, i was stabbed by this lady whom i respected since the first day i worked with her... But she's the person who affected my biz, my life, my friends....

Characters in story...

Ms A = a lady who i respected a lot
Mr B = a very old friend who i would choose to help than to sit back and not bother
Mr C = his brother, a person would think before he acts
Mr D = ex colleague who i worked with, well respect by others
and... ME

It happened recently when Mr C talk to me about work, and the polictics and stuff happening in his biz, and he warned me to be wary of Ms A who has been speaking ill of me to Mr B. I told him that gossips and rumours are normal in biz and told him not to worry. I even told him that Ms A is a nice lady and i respected her a lot. Little did i know she has been speaking ill of her, but i was not worrying about it.

One day, Mr D called me and approached me for a job offer. But i told him that i am currently running my own biz, providing the service he requires. He told me that he would speak to his boss and let us talk. As a biz person, any opportunity is a good opportunity for me. Any outcome may happen, i may be providing him other services we did not arrange initially.

I decided to be honest to Mr B & C, so i took the chance to tell Mr C about this offer i had and that i will go ahead and hear them out. I know there would be a conflict of interest. But i tell myself i would make sure both sides know everything before i act. I didnt know what company Mr D is working in, despite asking him twice, he did not respond. So i called one of my friend to ask him before i meet Mr D's boss.

As soon as i know the company i would be speaking to, i called Mr D and i told him about the discussion i had with the boss....

Now the drama comes...

Mr B got Ms A to check out on who is the one who approach for this service. Was it me to approached Mr D or Mr D who approached me... And Mr D told Ms A i did (from what i heard)... or perhaps Ms A roti prata the whole thing? God knows... So Mr B was pissed and had an arguement with me and said that i "betrayed" them by approaching another company when i am suppose to give them that service.

I left Mr B's office, and i was curious... cause Mr B said it was the boss who said it, but when i confronted the boss for lying the very same day, he said he didnt speak to Mr B...

The following day, i recd a call from Mr C... he told me the actual story... so now.. i wonder, if it's Mr D who told a lie, or Ms A? Ms A is in the midst of helping Mr B & C in their biz, long before i was offered this opportunity, she has been speaking ill of me in front of Mr B... Reason? I also dunno... I let the readers think it thru..

Ms A asked for 5k monthly for helping Mr B & C and running the project for them. But Ms A has other commitments she needs to see to and also earning from there. Mr B & C offered her some profit sharing but she rejected, she jus wants the 5k monthly. Well, simple reason? She dont wanna clear the shit in the end. If the company close, she will jus go...

So, they got a project, something different from the actual biz trade they are in. Desperate for projects, Mr B & C are in a dilemma whether they shud grab it. Ms A who was helping them get the project told Mr B & C that she would not take the risk to take the project...!?

The Angels say: She is jus concern about their funds...

The Devils say: Knowing the company is desperate, she knows they have no choice... reverse psycology... End of the day when project doesnt work well, she is not to blame, cause she has told them not to take it up...

Ms A affected my friendship with Mr B, ruin my reputation... I have not declared war with anyone for the past few years... But i cannot take it when i have given in and she still eat me when i have nothing to do with her...

Before i declare war, i need to find out some things... Then, i will grab whatever she is gonna have, put obstacles ahead of her, even if it costs for more enemies... I will break her down. I am not stupid, just tired. But she made many wrongly accused me for my doings. Im sorry, i cannot accept.

Bit by Bit


Thats why my friend said when i told her about my probs... i guess things are happening faster than i tot, bad things... yea... i dunno y, there is something in my mind that is so negative and evil telling me that things are gonna turn out real bad...

and me being too used to getting paid, i will get emo when it comes to mid or end of the mth... cause this is when everyone take money except me....

bills are stacking up, probs are arising.. this road.. not easy to walk. i wish i can have someone to back me up... or jus miracles... or something gd happen to me... strike 4d? i hope i have a 20k in my hands now...

i hope when i open my eyes, things will get better.... i pray hard...

I dunno if this is depression.. but... for this whole week, i tot of dying almost everyday.. and i know if i die, then i no need think too much... den no more bills, no more where is the money, how to find money....

I dunno what happen to the 'nothing is impossible dino'... now becoming 'nothing is possible'... i need someone to guide me too... im all alone...

I hope to see the light


Once again... i realise that the sales is slowing down... and now that im doing everything by myself, im drained... meeting 6 clients a day is a killer when u dun have a car... :( I wish i had a car to travel everywhere without carrying a heavy bag filled and files, books and laptop.... and my big hand bag... Argh..

But i managed to start the engine... Now, im helping to canvass for web designing, our new search engine called "search it".. thou not launched yet, but we are in the midst of budgetting, pricing, template designs and the foundation, if nothing goes wrong, by end august, we will get it up... whats more? i am getting my annual book bosses to canvas for us to make sure we earn... The web designing is purely by chance.. managed to talk to someone who does web designs but needs someone to run for her as she is working full time as well...

Now i am deciding on the payment part... i wonder how much is sufficient and not asking too much.... Spoken to my friend, he says that my role is not easy as i have to do f/u.. so i shudnt ask for too little... which i agree... cause i need to pay for my TM as well...

At least i need not rely on annual books to survive... i have more more more choices... But im gonna have a meeting tmr with my folks... i need to plan the directions, having annual books, web designing, online advertising, hosting services, bazaars... i need to stay connect with all these channels.. yes.. all alone... i decided to kick all the sales folk away and do it myself.

Funds are running low, i am stressed up on that too.. i hope to see money rolling in by this mth, and all the channels proper and stable by sept. I wanna see the light...

Chinese saying "Wan Shi Qi Tou Nan"


Starting a biz aint easy man... Esp when i started this company with no cap involved.

I started off with a team of folks and a telesales... at the beginning i alr know these folks are problematic.. except my telesales... I knew what i wanted to do with them... (to test the market)... I was not expecting gd results from them. But i jus wanted them to start off something for me.

Remember i went to the medium and she asked me to try do everything by myself? Yeah, now i know what she meant... Managing a company by my own was not easy, not only u need to make sure there are sufficient cash to pay them, u have to make sure that this aint ur only way to make money...

This current project can earn quick money but one time profit... i reckon i need to do somethng that is recurring... So now i branch out into web hosting and email hosting biz too... and my friend is trying to do online portal... something like advertising but online media... so i decided to give it a try esp when pple are looking more into online advertising than printed...

Bazaars and event will be minimal but i will still do it. Esp i got a good contact from one of my cilent. He manages 60+ canteens in big companies and would like to do bazaars for each of them... Sounds good. I still need to follow up closely and do a proper presentation on that to make sure it goes well....

I decided to hire 1 more telesales to increase the number of appts. and i decided to go thru all these appts by myself. I will meet them and close them. I need to get my agressiveness back... I need to think calmly and with a clear mind too.

Now, here is what i plan...

1. Continue with the current project on annual books

2. Prepared the proposal and will send out to major magazine companies to become their outsource partner to sell ad space for them. (Like car mag, health mag etc) - but im into specific mags... Fashion will be the last like cleo etc....

3. Close the bazaar project and start managing the bazaars one by one... one week 2 location and finish the project in 8 months time. by then, i will have good amount of money alr. If possible, close some big companies like hospitals for montly bazaars.. sign a contract for 2 years... so i will have monthly recurring profit.

4. launch the online advertising website and start selling the ad space together with web hosting and email hosting and domain name together. As these are per year profit, but chances of renewal are higher than printed ad space. Most imptly, I get the cash in (for the first payment) to choke up my funds.

5. To get all of the above running, i need 2 telesales, part time to do all the callings for me... Cause they will need to multi task and moreover they are students, and they only can do half day daily. On weekends, companies are not working, even if they come to office to work also no use... So i need 2 to make sure that i have sufficient appts to close.

6. I plan to meet 10 appts per week so that i have enough to close... minimum 40% - 50% closing shud be sufficient. Every week a $5k minimum chq recieve so that i can earn at least $5k per month... and company will earn $10k - $15k per month... So that i can start hiring sales man providing them basic salary.. So they will have commitment to my company.

Well, it takes time to build what i planned... Succeed or not, still dunno. But they are all visible ideas. I pray hard i can make it. I know everything is tough at the beginning. But I shud have faith in myself. I pray hard things will fall into place soon.

I need to be more hardworking, agressive and alert... Realise i have been waking up later and later... which shud not be that way. I need to buy 4 alarm clocks to wake me up liao... I MUST wake up to start my engines fast. I NEED to make things possible...

I dun wanna suffer in debts and bills... I jus want to buy anything anytime, do everything anytime... I want to save up and earn and save.... Save until when i grow old, i need not be like those auntie uncle no money to eat, no clothes to wear... Even see doc also no money... I am fortunate now that i am blessed with gui ren and luck. But i cant take it for granted. I need to earn myself too...

I need motivation and self encouragement to push myself to the limit...

Pray hard i make it...

Panic


There are some things i know i have to get them done in the shortest time. Im trying, but i dun seem to have the strength to do so.. Each time i think of it, i will have cold sweat... Argh... I need to hit my tartget each week in order to achieve what i want in the shortest time. I need to make it...

Went to the temple took a lot... cause i was wondering if i shud go work or remain ma... end of the day, who dun wan to take company monthly salary? Den the lot says, remain still, do not do anything now. Nature will take its course... And i remember i went with fang to the temple to draw a lot in April before i resign, it says at that pt of time, my boat aint moving anywhere, i need to wait till aug when the monsoon season comes den the boat will sail. Next mth is aug liao... and the kuan yim ma lot i drew last week as me remain still... lets see ok?

I know starting own biz is tough, and sure tough for the first 2 years, i hope i pull thru with all the debts on hand... im kinda worried about the debts part.. my reserves almost gone liao... i need to think of a way asap...

Kuan Yim Ma and the gods above, please por pi me earn big bucks to settle everything and start a new life.. a better one at least...

Hope my prayers come true...

All Alone


Now i understand why they say setting up biz is easy but maintaining it is tough. When u have to face employee prob, when they are all out of office for sales, when u are so bz but yet the numbers not moving.. yeah, im stressed. Cause its my biz..

Only i can make the change, only i can make the decision, and only me alone trying to make things work... Im exhausted. Its killing me man... I wish i had the powers to give everyone a push... I wish my folks treat this as their own biz.

Yes, there were times that i wanted to give up. But i know this is just the beginning. I should continue cause it will always be difficult at the start. So now, i just pray hard and work hard. Everything just do it myself.... God.. gimme the power...

I havent been resting for 3 weeks. My dark eye rings and eye bags are making me like a ghost.. was so bz that i went to other places to trim and dye my hair... end up... my hair is so short and i look like shit. I was so depressed... I look so damn ugly. Fuck, i hate it man...

Reno Done...


Finally reno is done... At least my part is done... Cindy came to work today. Brought her around the place and let her get used to the office... Decided to let her move up with me on the 3rd level and let the sales folks do follow up calls on the 2nd level. Im trying to maximise the minimum space i have... Though tough, but i believe i will work something out of it.

My sales folks are ok, they even went to Singapore Casket to look for sales. Which i am rather touched by their actions. I hope to see results this week. Its already the 2nd week, and i need to see numbers. Hopefully i can start pushing them alr.

I will be starting all the callings again tomorrow to get in more appointments for them. Trying my very best... Pray hard this will work.

Adding on too much stress


hmmm... ok la... team is good, but not up to expectations. i feel that there are much more rooms for improvements. In fact the first day of calling, we alr got a total of 5 appts... and today 2 appts made.. so total 7 appts for 3 pple to run for the next 2 days.... Today one of my folks went for appt le.. not very good, but still a good start. They are all positive.

Im totally stressed over work and my folks, worried that they cannot hit their 35k target.. stress.....

today billy smsed me suddenly... i mean... i really never expect him to sms anyway... he asked if i was ok, what i was doing... and i felt that its time to tell.. so i told him and also mentioned that no one knows and i dun plan to spread... he say ok and he say his glad that i found the right direction and he wished me good luck... U know what? i work with him for 1 year, but we never had such a "sms conversation" before! haha... i asked how's his team and he told me his expanding and he ask me to intro him some companies which they can do corp roadshow.. i said ok... BUT.. what went thru my mind was... Why he will suddenly sms me for nothing? Jus checking me out at 10+pm? Many people brainwashing him when i was arnd... i wonder if he reckon that those people are cruel people which he shud be wary abt.... Hai...

Ok... Reno starting this weekend.. yes, excited... haha esp when i bought the furnitures... and i wanna make it like a second home.. u know its a drag for me and my folks to use the temp office cause we cannot really make use of that place cause its not our office... den no internet service to find leads online... also my admin also no PC do data entry... i wonder wat im suppose to do... cause i feel handicapped without internet man.... Hopefully when office is ready, i can make good use of the table and phone, get my guys to come back and rotate to do callings.

Loads of planning... Well.. tats all for now.. tmr still gotta go collect office keys.....

Monday, June 4, 2007
