The road to become an entrepreneur

It was a lifetime experience for my journey to become an entrepreneur. Having spent 2 weeks upgrading myself (shopping) and brainwashing (reading business and entrepreneur books), I am finally ready to register my company on 15th May (which according to my parents are good day for business after checking the Chinese Calendar).

It was also a good day because it marks the end of my 4 years being an employee. I started my first job on 16th May 2005.

 

I woke up at 8am, all energized to face the d-day. I took the public transport to PWTC and reached the SSM at 10am. There are a lot of people waiting already.

 

I told the counter that I would like to register as a sole-proprietor and was handed a form to fill up.

 

The process was easier and smoother then I expected. I got my queue number (after completing the form with a copy of IC), went to the counter to check the name of my company, YFS Consulting, got approved, wait for another 15 minutes for payment and then another 1 hour for my certificate to be issued.

 

During the 1 hour, I went to survey the pricing of printing business cards upstairs and had some breakfast.

 

By 12pm, everything is done! My company is YFS Consulting!

 

What was more memorable next was I sat down with a designer for the next 1 hour to design my company logo and my business cards. It’s really much easier when you know what you want!

 

I proceed to print my company stamp too. So by 1.30pm I am all set to tell the world about my company!

 

It was a life changing experience for me as I took the road to entrepreneurship even though I am not sure whether I am going to make it.

 

One thing for sure is I will do my best and grab the opportunity that came along the way, accept challenges and failures as the process to success, pick up the sweet as well as learning experience in the process.

 

I know I am on a mission J

 

 



Winning is Giving - Denis Waitley

Winning is giving your best self away

Winning is serving with grace very day

You’ll know that you’ve won when your friends say it’s true

“I like who I am, when I am around you. You look for the best in the others you see and you help us become who we’re trying to be.”

                            

Winning is helping someone who’s down

It’s sharing a smile instead of a frown.

 

It’s giving your children a hug by the fire

And sharing the values and dreams that inspire.

 

It’s giving your parents the message “I care.”

Thanks, mom and dad, for being so fair.

 

Winners are willing to give more than get

Their favors are free, you’re never in debt.

 

Winning is giving 100 percent

It’s paying your dues, your taxes, your rent

It’s trying and doing, not crying and stewing.

 

Winners respect every colour and creed

They share and they care for everyone’s need.

 

The losers keep betting that winning is getting

But there’s one of god’s laws that they keep forgetting

And this is the law you can live and believe

The more that you give, the more you’ll receive!
