Choosing My Path in Life…

Ever since an early age, I have been interested in entrepreneurship. My grandparents were entrepreneurs and so are my parents and this helped foster a sense of entrepreneurship in me.

I remember back when I started, I had just graduated from University and was about to join a bank and begin my corporate rat race… It was a real struggle for me because deep within me, I had an entrepreneur fighting to break free. Something in me just KNEW that I could achieve much greater things.

Back in those days, I used to spend weekends with my friends, listening to them complain about the corporate world and the 60 to 80 hour work weeks. It was evident that many were sacrificing a lot because of the corporate world and this was especially so in Singapore’s fast paced environment. It was easy to get caught up in the rat race and the never ending struggle and I didn’t want to just be another statistic trying to climb the corporate ladder, eventually trading my time for money.

Every other day, I had friends telling me about feeling sick and tired of it all and how they felt like their efforts were not recognised and I could feel the dread and unhappiness that they were going through. Having worked in that situation before, I personally experienced those same emotions that they were trying to convey. The robotic daily routine that headed nowhere, and everyone could feel it…

So with my entrepreneurial desire, coupled with the fact of being surrounded by the negativities of the corporate world, you can imagine that it didn’t take too long for me to seriously consider starting my own business and not to work for someone else. The only problem then was that I didn’t have any proper direction of where to start and it seemed like getting a job first would be a good idea (an easy way out! – the false sense of security…).

But through a twist of good fortune I happened to stumble across an incredible opportunity online, and well, being the skeptical person I am, I really didn’t believe in it much in the beginning.

Never the less… I still decided to do some research on that particular opportunity as it really caught my attention. It was amazing when I begin to realise that I was looking at an extremely legitimate opportunity that would really work.

This was the opportunity I was waiting for. I now had both the DESIRE and the DIRECTION that I wanted… so I crossed out any doubt in my mind that I would succeed and made my decision. I took the plunge and have never looked back.

Now I make my living on the internet. Each and every day I meet, network and give back to many other new, like minded entrepreneurs and business individuals all over the world that have made the decision to be their own boss and start creating their own lives.

I happily work from my home (or anywhere in the world, since I love travelling!!!). I wake up as and when I think I need to and take a break when I feel I deserve one. My income is multiple times what I would have got in that Bank Job. My unique business works for me 24 hours a day even when I’m sleeping and resting and most importantly I now answer to myself and not a boss!

It’s great being my own boss and I always tell others… as long as YOU have the determination and the discipline, YOU can achieve your dreams!

I now live a life of abundance and I’m so grateful for having the courage to take that step then.

Effort, effort and more effort…

Of course, it was not plain easy sailing from the get go… well, whoever said that starting a business was an easy task? Being totally new to the industry, I had to overcome a great learning curve and really educate myself on exactly how to work online and the going was tough. I have had my share of failures and when I first begin on this journey, I found myself struggling with a never-ending flow of obstacles, set-backs, and daily challenges. But you know what… Looking back now, I’m GRATEFUL for that period of time.

That time of failure allowed me to better understand myself and discover the extent of my self-belief. Even in grim situations, I always managed to pick myself up and I kept persevering. I accepted what was happening and looked deep down inside to find the strength that I needed to carry on. I learnt from my mistakes and took action to correct them and I formulated a mental confirmation that my hunger for what I really wanted in life will always keep me going.

Most importantly, I never lost sight of my destination and my purpose because I believe that that’s what life is about – “If you do not live your life in the pursuit of what you truly desire, then you are nothing but a passing soul in this world”

“Desire is the key to motivation, but it is determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal – a commitment to excellence, that will enable you to attain the success you seek” – Mario Andretti

Having been through those difficulties personally, I now strive to help individuals leap over those traps that others fall into everyday, fast forwarding their route to success.
