::A NEW VENTURE::


        When I was studying, I really couldnt wait to work. I always imagined getting my salary every month and being able to buy things that I want..and most importantly, I always dreamt of giving back to my parents for they have done a lot for me. Now, it has been about 8 months since I first started working and getting paid. Alhamdulillah, all is well but although I tried so hard to deny it, I actually wished that I have more.. when I say more I mean more money. Not that I am ungrateful or materialistic, but seriously, what I have now is actually just enough on a month-to-month basis and after deducting my phone bill, my car, accommodation, etc, there's not much saving that can be done..and the saddest part is I can only give back a little to my parents. Not that they mind but as sons and daughters, I am sure we have that conscience..

        So I tried a few things to save up..such as control my desire to eat (crazy right??), buy only necessary stuffs (it's good though but at one point I just feel like screaming..lol) and many other things that you won't believe me doing.. I really do want to save some money but as much as I tried, there's not much that can be put aside. There will always be something that you will need to use the money for and in the end, when I look at the balance, I can only sigh. So I thought of doing extra things to gain extra income but as I have no experience at all in business, I felt really lost and I didnt know how to start. I helped a friend of mine with a business that she just started..alhamdulillah...things are ok.. but you know..it's really tough when ur doing it on your own.

        Thus, I started to rethink a suggestion..or rather an invitation from my close friend to join a group that he just signed into..a marketing group. I was really sceptical..I mean I have heard many unfavourable stories about direct selling and things related to it.. It took me about three weeks to think and consider because I do not want to make the wrong move as there's a lot at stake. However, it just got me a few days ago 'takkan my close friend want to promote bende yang tak elok to me' so I contacted him, get some clarification, look up on the internet to get information about the group and I straight away decided to join. You must be thinking 'biar betul die ni' BUT memang betul! If I keep on thinking and thinking and thinking, nothing will ever become a reality. I now learn that in this world, we fear many things but if we do not make the first step to walk pass these fears, we will be stuck in the same position for the rest of our lives and I dont want that to happen to me and to you.

       So yesterday, a day before my birthday (promote sket..hahaha), I met Kak Aju, a very nice lady who has been with the group for quite some time. The name of the Group is GLG and they are a marketing group under Hai-O Marketing, an established company that gain millions and millions of ringgit from their products. After listening to the explanation, I felt convinced and more confident that I will be able to do it and that I do want to join them. Now, I am part of the group, a group that supports each of its team members to reach the individual's utmost potential. In this group, no one is working alone. Therefore, it is stress-free and the environment really supports professional development and of course, everyone gets the financial benefits. Initially, I felt that it is too good to be true but after looking at my close friend who just got the benefit, it is REAL!

      Well, they say that in life, at times we need to get out of our comfort zone and explore new things for we never know what we will discover and get. I just did that and athough I still have a long way to go, I am glad that I have made the fisrt step. I will tell you the details about the group for I really do want to share and invite you to joins us because hey, what's the point of keeping things to myself..so please stay tuned for I will be posting all the details in my next entry really soon. Till then..
