Flying Solo...

After much waiting... My medical result is finally out... The good thing is, everything is perfectly fine. And that should embark my 'flying solo' journey. This comes with much anticipation since I was already planning my exit 4 months ago.

I have friends who supported my decision but mostly not.... Many disapprovals comes from my family and some friends, I did not shake a bit and yet firmer in getting into plans. The decision of giving up my 3k plus job is not done overnight or with just a tiny bit of analysing. Corporate world is not just for me... I am capable of doing the job, for sure... But it’s not something that I would like to do forever.

I always have my passion in beauty and service line but the low salary has been the main factor hailing my entering. I now finally earned my name in waxing, I seriously want to plunge into it and give my best. Never in my life I felt so satisfied with what I am doing…

While writing this, I recalled how upset my mum was when I told her about my decision. Nope, she did not cry nor did she scold me. But her nagging function just naturally got activated every now and then when our topics fall into this category.

To her, with a family history of failed businesses, she does not understand why I still persist into starting my own one. My mummy also can’t accept the fact that I am giving up such a stable job, good incentives and not utilising my newly obtained degree. No doubt that I did give her my promise that if my business did not work out after 4-5 months, I will look for job with higher pay.

But still she doesn't seem to have a lot of confidence in me and think that it is impossible. Seriously, her reaction to this did affect me the most. Ever since I was younger, the decision or things that I do was never supported by any family members. Although this made me a stronger person but I know I yearned for such moral support.

I know what I am doing is rather risky and most people will not do my way but I just want to say that I REALLY WANT TO DO IT!!! So, just stop telling me about whatever business essential that you think I don't know. For all you know, you might have lesser mini business experience... I will be fine..... Also, I will not be a burden to anyone... Do not worry about me...

Thanks for all your concerns and advices.... I appreciate ALOT! And I really mean it! (I know some might think the attitude behind the keyboard is full of anger and dismay... )
