"When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. The choice is yours and yours alone. Refuse to throw in the towel. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure." - Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics
"The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It's as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer." - Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese's
Every new business venture is block by unlimited problems. It could be the lack of capital, viability of the product or service, suppliers' discounts, manufacturer defects, high operation cost, shortages of manpower and the list goes as long as the Amazon river. So what can an entrepreneur do to overcome this? And how can an entrepreneur kick start a profitable business successfully? Does success lies in the product? A new concept or a new services? Looking around us from supermarkets to malls, It could be anything under the sun. From selling a pen to providing a painting service. This enormousity and expulsion of goods & services makes it even harder to enterprise. With so much of factors to look into & risk to calculate, the odds to success is like the odds of winning a lottery. So why do it? Why go through the hassle of this physical and head-ache when following and working for others its a no brainier and a easier solution?
The way I see it, it's for a better quality of life for my family, loved ones and having the means to do what I'm passionate about with freedom. It is also a challenge for me to achieve & strive for something good in life. From there on, if the business is successful & profitable, it will begin its humanistic enterprise by giving back what it has reaped to the community and the needy.
The business challenge will keep me in "discomfort" metaphorically and urged me to continue innovating or face elimination in the globalize & competitive world. In this protective and comforting environment of my country, it is easy to be contended and a dogma follower. I don't wish that to happen to me. When I mean "discomfort" it does not mean physically, in another way of phrasing, it means - "Surviving the turbulence of the corporate world".
Therefore the five statements below will constitute to my plan.
1. No ideas is a bad idea.
2. Start small and expand later.
3. Always keep reality in check.
4. Keep an open mind.
5. Start doing it !
