Make money by losing money

another oh so twisted topic of mine.

today let's talk about making money by losing money..

*hey btw, anyone figured i should be doing a talk show of my own...? hehe perasaan :)

first off, let me tell you what i'm doing right now.

sitting,
in front of my lappy,
in a boutique,
in jusco,
in bukit indah,
in johor.

i am...typing,
doing an inventory,
guarding,
chewing gum,
making sales,
killing time.

haha.

okey...

Once upon a dream..my mom got me a book on...erm..can't remember the tittle and can't check now because it's at home in the library. it's written by..erm...dono too lah..but it's a malay businessman..azam...azim..azman...az summin lah that's for sure...*not too sure kind of for sure.

Anyway, he wrote about how he persevered throughout the ups and downs of his business like about ermm...more than 10 years ago ... big KOT lah i think it's 10 years ago. But i can surely say that establishing his business involved more downs than up. BUt no mattter what happened and the demotivated feeling he frequently had..he kept going on. kind of like a sentence in shakira's waka waka song: when you fall get up..oh oh..and if you fall get up eh..ehh..-

he mentioned that him and his familiy suffered about 9 years of money tightness...and he was a businessman. imagine that!

Thing about his book is, he described what it was like moving out a comfort zone; having a secure job and a handsome pay, and sliding into temporary hell; starting his own business.

But as i once read a quote by whom i can't remember; when going through hell, keep going.

That's exactly what this az summin did...and as a reward for his courage and perseverance, he manages a fairly succesful business now.

The point is that, when starting a business, some are required to lose a lot of money...until they choke...in order to get back even more money, until they don't know what to do with it..am i exagerrating...? maybe. maybe not.
