Six years ago, while I was carrying my firstborn, the desire to start an online businsess selling parenting and baby related items came to my mind. As Hubby was an apprentice then, income was really little for a small family like ours, I didn't dare venture into a business that requires several thousands to start off a small scale online retailing business.
However, this remains as my goal that I will be working hard towards and shall fulfill a dream and make it come true.
This year, 2010 seems like a great start for me. I started a new career with an MNC offering me a pretty neat pay check every month. It seems like an ideal opportunity for me to soar in my new found career. Little did I know, a twist of event actually made me start on working on my dream that has been shelved six years ago.
I was admitted to hospital due to chest pain. It was so bad that I could barely walk straight and was always breathless and panting had. Doctors are unable to tell me what was wrong as all the cardiac tests carried on me seems normal. One thing noted from the tests though, I get tensed up very easily. Hence the cardiologist asked me if I am willing to change my lifestyle like stop work or do something that is less stressful?
This was like a wake up call. It made me brush away the dust on the Mompreneur dream.
"Shall I start a business that I had been wanting to?"
Family support at this point of time of time is crucial. Both Hubby and Mom supported my decision without a doubt. Plucking up my courage, I finally typed my letter and tendered to my boss.
I shall not go into details for this, but this definitely is a start to my current status as a business owner.
