This newspaper article came out in year 2000. But my story goes back to year 1996. 


Back then my dad purchased a personal computer for me and my sister to ‘learn’. He had an IT degree so he was very forward thinking when it came to technology. 

People were saying internet was a fad in 2000. And i believed it.

Today i would like to talk about top businesses in the world today and how they generate revenues. Im sure that mostof you guys who are reading these post are working full time and are looking for ways to generate side income. 

And so today i was thinking of sharing how most of these big businesses generates revenue and how; you could also follow them and automate your business so that you dont have to spend more time in it. 

Instead; focus on your day job; and maybe spend an hour or two a day in this side business (unless of course if your side business is already paying you more than your day job then its time to make the switch).

Last weekend i was teaching a formulation class when a student asked why am i not doing live videos to share my knowledge. 

Like why do i write only and not video because malaysian’s are so called more ‘audio visual type’ rather than ‘readers’. And throughout the years many asked me that too. 

And heres my answer to it: coz i don’t like my personal space to be invaded. 

If you go to any marketing seminar (since 2016); all the ‘guru’s’ advises their students to do live video. Like that was the only ‘marketing way leftπŸ™„ It was like if you don’t do live; your business is ‘gone’.

And i did it during that time too. 

Yes i got more viewers; yes i got more ‘fans’. But heres the thing; along with it; i lost my privacy too. 

There were times ill get stopped by someone in public because they saw me in those videos. I literally couldnt go out in my comfy ‘pyjamas like clothes’ anymore. And there was this ‘tension’ that i had to do up my face just because i was a ‘founder’ i had to look like one. I just couldnt be ‘myself’. It was like a whole identity lossπŸ˜“ 

It sounds ‘normal’ initially; but then there was also this fear for my kids after that. 

Not everyone online is genuine. Some stalkers are online too. And a friend, who is quite ‘famous’ online and loves to video her kids, almost got her kid kidnap in school 😞

So yea; this is the reason why i don’t share my face. I fear for my privacy. 

Not everything is about business and profit. Sometimes; we have got to think about what we want in life and design it that way. 

When i started this business; it was purely because i wanted to spread the right way to formulate things. Being a ‘centre’ where safe cosmetics are taught. Then slowly we expended to manufacturing. 

I never wanted to be ‘famous’ and have ‘crazy fans’ and so im just gona keep it that way.

Besides; im glad that i started writing; because it brought out this inner writer in me. Still learning, but I never knew i could write! 


Love;

It was year 2008 when my dear friend Ivory brought me to a game nite; playing the cashflow board game.

Cash flow board game is a board game by Rich Dad (Robert Kiyosaki) that teaches us to think about how to ‘earn’ money.


I thought work hard = more money

During that time, i always thought there was only one way to make money: and that is to work. You spend more time; you work harder, you get more.
