As easy as A-B-C? Not exactly. Working from home, especially the start up stage is really more tedious and challenging than what I perceived to be.
As my suppliers are generally from US and UK, I would always make use of the day to do research and send emails; at night, I will stay online and and waiting for the suppliers to revert. I would say most of them are very prompt and very helpful!
One of the suppliers, knowing the reason behind my home business, is willing to accomodate my orders even when it means not meeting half of her minimum order quantity (MOQ), whick I truly appreciate her kindness and willingness to accomodate.
At times, I would still be working when both kids and Hubby were snoozing away. Though I do feel tired, those positive responses from the suppliers kept my spirit up and most importantly, I gained more confidence as I move along.
Eventually, I felt my hands were too full and needed another pair of hands to help. Some friends are not ready to join me as a business partner. Who would when they are drawing a steady pay?
I waited and spoken to a few whom have the same interest. Finally, my sis felt she is ready to join me. Never mind about her shortage of capital, I know she will have the same passion as me! A business partner who can understand you and having the same vision is really important.
I never look back since my desicion to start my own business.
