My Entreprenuer Story

Myself.  Spouted it out during NTU Ideas Inc #startable.

I know that a blog is suppose to be public but I don't want you to know who I am and what exactly I'm talking about. It's like an open repository of a person. 

Turns out, my Twitter is connected to this blog and there were people from my circle reading it. So I had to delete all traces then moved my blog somewhere else.

Anyways we have not had any contracts yet. I've just finished my brochure. Will do grammatical checking and other checking. Times like this, I wish I have her still. She was really good at checking these kinds of things although sometimes I don't really use what she changed because it gets quite stiff. But I really really appreciate her help. I wish she knew how much she meant to me.

Ah well that's too bad. I've moved on now. No use looking back. The only way is onward and forwards. 

Trying to get more leads by adding people on Linkedin and then nonchalently saying that I could help them with web, design or any it related stuffs.

The guys from Courts called and asked if I’m gonna pay the loan amount. 

They couldn’t deduct from my giro account; so they slapped me with a $12 administrative fee. 

Should never buy from Courts I tell you! It’s great because you get the product first but the loan repayment is obscenely difficult.

We just lost a project because one of my co-founder missed the dateline for submission for the project. 

It was a such a waste because we spent three days preparing the documents, designs and collaterals for the project. Yet he forgot to submit the application on time!

The project cost SGD$2.3k and naturally I was really angry. I tried not to show it and told him that this cannot happen again.

Argh crap. What should I do. Maybe I should tell him off. Maybe being kind would be better.

Evan is going a two week sprint. We can prolly look at a proper qiscus by 15 june - 21 June. 

It's really important to have a good team and the team members focused on their jobs.

We finished our team meeting. 

We have agreed on working on the dev house. Now trying to apply for 3 projects which would take time over the week and up till the weekend. A lot of work to be done basically, like making mock ups, writing proposals, getting project requirements.

We need to get SGD$14k before the team can be sustainable. At least this time we would have sufficient income per person.

As in for the longest time, I've not had proper salary and right now it's really really tight on me.

I've to manage my bills, loans and even insurance. Heck, I've not pick up calls from my agent because I can't tell him that I'm not able to continue.

But next month, things are gonna be different. I'm going to earn SGD$2k. And then I can give Hari Raya money happily.

By next year, SGD$4k in Jan and SGD$5K in June.

This is a little late. 

I should have done this earlier but I figured that it would be good to write about my journey now.

1. It would be easier for me to write a book later.

2. It would help me learn and remember the mistakes I make so I don't make them again.

3. Hopefully, it'll help you learn from my mistakes or my successes.

Facebook is very distracting because you'll browse one article that your friend posted and then the next article..

Pretty soon it's half an hour's past.

Still, after a while you'll get a little tired so you go to Facebook again to see if there's anything interesting.
