Hi let me just give you a little background I was a salesman 6 or 9 mos. ago for almost 4 years or 5 years. I have been selling properties and it made to the point the I was used to it and I know that this was just a gateway for me to become a businessman when I have enough commission to start my business. I have started my online retail business while I was also working in our office. I used to hide in one of our room in our office pretending to call my clients but what I really do is to make my presence on the e commerce business. I have been going to seminar while I was at work. (if you are one of my boss and you have stumbled upon this article I am sorry for serving two masters but there is just a feeling that I need to fulfill and that is to think about business). I was not able to quit my job before because it was giving me my monthly allowance which I use to finance my work and sometimes I get penalized because I am not doing enough work to them so my monthly income is really not enough so I made side business while working. Before I quit my first job because I was just used to it. I was planning to be focused on my new e commerce business but it is not selling very well and it can not sustain my daily needs. It was just selling 5k pesos per month. I was amazed with that number before but it was too little for me to live so I decided to join another company with the same industry and have the same job. After 6 months in this company I didn't made our qouta so there is only one way for me and that is to quit or get fired and I got both haha. By this time my Online business is still not earning enough but I have managed to get 1 sale in order to have more capital in my business.
I have told myself and my girlfriend that we should quit finding a job for the next 6 months and concentrate all our energy to getting this business sales to go up. I was scared at that time because I don't know what will happen to us because I don't have enough money at that time and I only have money for my daily needs up to 2 months. But in my mind it is either now or never because I will procrastinate again and find another job in a few months I will be back again where I started. So I made up my mind that this next 6 months will determine if I will become a successful businessman or not. If I have failed in the span of 6 mos. I will go back to my computer and write my Resume and pass it to other company or if I succeed I will get to enjoy freedom and money.
Since then it has been almost 8 months now and I will tell you later what happened to me. So my idea for the next couple months is to do more extra income thru online. I have done everything that I knew from Affiliate marketing just like what I am doing in this blog, writing a book, started a youtube channel for monetization and building my e commerce business. First one is my blog as you can see upon writing this blog. My blog is not really doing well I have earned 100$ from Amazon just now and I have not got my paycheck yet haha but I have a goal in my mind and that is to earn more from amazon that it will give me money to finance my needs and wants that is a long way to go and I need a lot of support from my readers as of now there are only a few readers but I am not giving up. I have also wrote a book and now I have 5 books and I am selling it on Amazon it was on top 5 on my category when its free but when there is a payment only a few people have bought it. It is because I am not yet known as a writer but you see I am not giving up on my dream to become number 1. The next idea for my income is youtube. In this category that I have thought is I have made a few dollars and I have recently got my payout from youtube just last month and unfortunately youtube has a new rules and that includes 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watchtime in order to monetize my channel but unfortunately I have failed to do it.
As you can see there are 3 failures in my plan after I have quit my job and test this out. It has been 9 months and 3 of my major plans to earn money and sustain a living is not doing pretty well. It is because there are times in my life that I too lazy to write, make videos, edit videos and even fix my blog. This reasons are the one who made me failed in this journey. I have become lazy because I am doing this kind of work and yet I only receive a little result from my works. But there is my last plan and that is to build my e commerce business. I am seller in a different platforms fomr lazada, shopee and facebook. This are famous platforms in my country. At the first month of doing business in this platform when I started focusing on them I made a boost on my sale and it managed to earn a living from it but it was not enough my seller size in lazada up to now is just a little the smallest from all of them. But as times goes by I have gain enough sales to sustain my daily needs and wants. It is not that much though but I never thought I could earn enough money after quitting my job.
Do you know what happened to me right now? On those months that I have quit working I managed to do a lot of things in my life. I now enjoyed monday to sunday and I don't know sometimes what day it is because I always feel like I am just playing while I am earning money. This business is making me feel great because I don't have to deal with traffic everyday and wake up at the time that I don't want to wake up. I wake up when I want to. I am enjoying the time that I am having right now. I want to thank God for blessing me with the sales that I have managed to pay our bills and food and sometimes I have extra to buy stuffs that I want.
Although I was afraid at first to quit my job but it was amazing what I am rewarded by now. The idea that I had in my mind gave me freedom and money to do the things that I like. It is very rewarding when you succeed in your dream. But I will keep on dreaming because there are still a lot of potential. Give yourself a deadline in your life decisions. if you put it tomorrow you may forget it and you may not be able to do it because you will tell to yourself that it is too late. Well it is never too late as long as you have dream alive inside you
