I just went to Bali this week. Is a great trip overall, awesome place. Too bad we have limited time to tour the whole island. If there a choices, i would like to go there again. Now, what i observe when my vacation in Bali. Before i went, as i told you all before in my previous post where i went to this ASEAN talk about how great Indonesia will become in future. It might be true. Most people in Bali do not come from a well-off family. Most are suffering from poverty and there a few beggars in the street. Not that Malaysia do not have beggars but their people are different from Malaysian. In what way?? 1. Attitude 2. Desire to Survive Let's compare the attitude, people in Bali are seriously friendly. I mean they greet and smile to you where ever they see you. This show how welcome you are in...

To all business owner, i am sure you have cross this question when you doing your start-up. The big question WHY??Many have their own reasons. Money, time, freedom and etc. I had cross this question many time. On what my real reason to be an Entrepreneur and not be a normal geek who work 9 to 5(No Offence). Here are an article share about how NOT to start a business, 1. Don’t Start a Business for the sake of MONEYTop on the list of reasons why people go into business is the strong desire to amass wealth. I have never known of a more ineffective way to think about business than this. As unpopular as it might sound, most business failures stem from this singular fact alone. Why? Because the moment making money becomes your primary focus as an entrepreneur, delivering value which is the foundation...

Over the week, i went to 2 great event. One is held in center of KL Young Corporate Malaysia and the other held in Midvalley, Garden. Both are great events. Organizers are friendly and lively. However, for the Young Corporate Malaysia i can't concentrate during the talk. Must be my tiredness just back from my Pangkor trip. Didn't pay much attention either so i left after the lunch. Got no mood to having networking with people either. Very odd for me. However, just now went to another event where i find this talk are more interesting than YCM. BQE session is about You Economy. How the economy changes by you. Is really meaningful and i find it...

This is something i read on Under30CEO just now. Is really inspire me on how a leader are to be made and not based on talent. This is totally true. Nobody are born perfect. It take hard work, experience and big damn of ego to be a top leader these day. I like to give example from Kobe Bryant, he is one of the greatest player in NBA these time. Either he the best player in skills and talents is still a question. However, he the general in court. He able to control and build together his team into one. Take example on Lebron James, he the greatest rookie player ever in NBA history. Being scouted since young and shine when enter the pro. Is not...

"Face it. Nothing will go as planned. Ever.Failure is inevitable. Your world will be flipped upside-down on a daily basis, and even the best-laid plans--accompanied by the best intentions--can go belly-up.To make it as a business owner in the real world, you need to learn to fail like a pro, adapt at will and pay attention to detail in order to make informed decisions that will keep your business moving forward. Your ability to plan for the worst-case scenario and maneuver around unforeseen circumstances will be the keys to finding success as your own boss."Matt Wilson, Co-Founder of Under30CEOThere a saying, failure give you motivation to try...

There many quote that say "never give up", "do till the last", "Quit is for loser"But today i have a new quote saying "Sometime, Quit is Right". Why do i say such a thing? Am i a quitter? Of course i'm not but in some aspect you unable to change. In my circumstances, some time you need to retreat to attack the opponent. Being a wise general is better than a muscle, fighting type general. So, never say anyone a quitter unless you know their circumstances. Having exam, next Monday. Able to relax and have a peace mind for a while. Good Day....

Tomorrow is the day where start my first paper for my last exam in my University period. After having study for so long time to relax and do some sharing in here. What i am to share here today between sole proprietor and partnership. Well, we do have some memory back in school when we study the comparativeness of this 2 meaning. The truth is those meaning back in school are totally useless in business world. Why i say that? When you are about to start-up some business you first on your mind is you want to do it alone or with someone with you. This is very important. Especially when you looking for long-term operation. Being a one man shot is great, able to do thing yourself, being a one man boss but you got to know are you capable to handle all those stuff by yourself. Do you have the skills?...

Dream Big Think of the most influential people you know. Jay-Z, Oprah, Donald Trump, Michael Jordan, Steve Jobs, Russell Simmons, Coco Channel… What do they all have in common?They are Entrepreneurs They’ve risked it all. They’ve failed, they’ve succeeded, they’ve made millions and they’ve given back. This group didn’t grow up to be doctors, lawyers, or accountants like everyone told them to be. Most entrepreneurs didn’t study hard, get good grades, and get a safe secure job. Instead, they forged their own paths and chased their dreams, they made things happen for themselves and live life on their own terms. I think we can all agree it paid off.They Don’t Work for Their Business, Their Business Works for Them Entrepreneurs create business systems, and the savviest business systems generate...

Luckily i am finance student. Watching both the movie realize me why i...

Hello, Is been a while since my last time here. Today thinking of writing the challenges and risk you face handling your business. Most business hoping for a minimal risk and small challenges so they can play safe. However, most big company are having risk everyday, that why they have risk manager to control their risk. My experience is good to challenges the risk but make sure what you really intend to do. Is true that some business are a mistakes but if they do not make that mistakes i don't think he/she will go further. Is not easy especially in Malaysia, sorry to say that but Malaysian are the type of people who play safe. They follow other people as if they do not have their own path to follow. Is a typical Malaysian. However, i believe someday we will changes. We are not following other...

1 of my experience doing this few small businesses. I realize that marketing is damn important. Without it, you might as well dead. Thousand of small company usually got wrong idea on their marketing scheme. They did mistake on how marketing actually work.

There are many thing to learn about and many new online solution for small based company. While i was there, i listen to this talk given by founder of this Singapore based company, more...

So what actually is Entrepreneur ? This the question...Businessman and Entrepreneur are not the same. There a slight different between this 2 meaning. However, their common goal of course is to make money. There are a million ways to do that. Me myself did a few of those million ways. I did a trading business on selling fashion clothes through online. Reason cause it save cost. However, is not really a business yet cause i did not register it. Is something like through an agent. Besides that, my University convocation happen last week and i got to knew from my friend of this place selling cheap doll. I know this market is a bloom market since 2 years in Uni. So i ask my friends to join in together. Learn a lot within this 1 week. However, is just a short term business. My real business is...

I believe everyone do have a weaknesses in their self. We can't avoid this but instead have to find way to overcome it. Many people do not admit they do have their weakness. Thinking is part of their self. Self confidence is very important, however we do need to know that not all accept this. What my weaknesses ? There are a few, but i only talk about the main. I have problem in communication. How come my communication is so bad ?? Is because i can't properly speak or understand my ethic language properly. This could be small thing for some people but in business world is a very big issue. I just meet a company director that from Taiwan just a moment ago to discuss about suppling stock for my business. I can only understand 20% what he is saying. At last i being criticize for not being business...

Seriously, who in here do not make mistakes in their life ? I bet everyone make mistakes. They would whine on how stupid they were thinking either to sit a time machine to reverse that mistakes. Well, today i would like to tell you all about how grateful you make that mistakes. This theory i got from Rich Dad's theory. The educational people, do not make mistakes. The street people often make mistakes. So which do you prefer ?? Based on the answer given by Rich Dad. Yes. Make a lot mistakes as many as possible. Why ?? Learnt from your mistakes. As example, when you were young and want to learn how to ride a bicycle. Normally most people would fall down. Yes, you are still learning and is normal for you to fall down. Remember the frustration you went through as you struggle to learn how to...
