An online business

Today I have launched a website hoping to earn some revenue from it. It is a "joint venture" with a relative.

This is just one of the many businesses that I run, that I hope it will give me supplementary income while I work on my main project.

OK… work hard, work smart.

My Very 1st Product Enquiry

Today I received my very 1st product enquiry email. Of course I was excited when I saw it and promptly type out my reply … before sending, I proof read my reply like it's gonna be sent to the Prime Minister, Agong, or Mr Bush.

This is a big milestone for me. I have NEVER received product enquiry for my OWN product (because I never have my own product before this I guess) … all the product enquiries that I had received before were my company's. This is a big difference, you know !

This product enquiry is for my supplimentary business – I need to earn money while I develop my main system.

This day will go down in my personal history. I am happy to share this with you.

My next milestone is to have my 1st paying customer.

OK… back to work. See ya !

My new business for paying bills and food

I had calculated that in order for me to achieve my dream of owning a house with minimum loan, I had to earn RM 11,730.56 every month for 3 years. And for me to achieve it in 4 years, I would need to start earning that from year 2 onwards, that’s from Oct 2006 onwards.

If I can’t start earning that amount starting from Oct 2006, then I would need to earn much more than RM 11,730.56 every month in the later years, that is, year 3 and 4 (2008 and 2009).

As mentioned in my about page of this blog, my plan to achieve that amount is to have a computer system/service deployed for the public to use. It will be some sort of a service… but I shall not reveal here for some reasons. Anyway, the specific service is not important for readers of this blog, which focuses on the journey of getting successful & achieving goals.

But I had a problem. While developing that system, it is better to have some income to support me. Even though I believe my savings are enough to last me throughout development phase, I do run a high risk of having my funds dip to an uncomfortably low level.

So I have a compounded challenge here – to develop the system, I need a means of getting some survival income *first*, no matter how small the amount may be.

For yesterday (Thursday) and today (Fri), I had started a business – to teach people how to earn on the net. Collecting a fee in exchange of such know-how is my current plan to earn my survival income.

I had designed and hosted a webpage detailing my Internet marketing course. Teaching method will be 1-to-1 personal coaching style. Then today, I went around distributing my name cards advertising this business of mine to interested parties.

Tomorrow, I shall finalize the syllabus of the course – detailing every topic and chapter.

Soon, I’ll need to distribute *more* cards and possibly flyers too.

Wish me luck. But then Napoleon Hill tells us very clearly that success is not a fluke shot – it is a result of having burning desire to succeed.

After being educated by Hill, the significance of the wish “good luck” has reduced so much.
