After cracking my head. Thinking whether I should carry on this part time business or not, at the very last, I have decided – “I SHOULD” go on with it. I feel like I rather die trying and know the result. Doesn’t matter I Succeed or failed! At least I know! Rather than I die for not trying at all! That, my friend. Even worse.
I know, it’s not easy. Even this is only part time aka small business. Right after this idea pop up, I faced two obstacles!
- Is not easy to get support from your friends/families. I remember somebody told me that when you’ re trying to do something new aka businesses, the one you hope the most aka your friends/families, not all of them will show the liking to your ideas. Some of them will encourage you to go for it – Which is good and they can consider as your true friends/families and they’re not holding you back! But most of them. Hmmm….they rather “die” (I think) from encouraging you to proceed with your ideas or etc etc etc..You know what I mean…
- Start up capital – which is my main issue now!, since we just bought and moved to a new house on December 09, almost 98% of our savings streamed to the house, renovations, furniture, etc etc..I do not dare to withdraw any more bucks from the saving. We have to have if for emergency.. Knowing that ...shit happens! I have to find ways how?? My husband does not like the thought of “mortgage” from the financial institutions. Even me to! We have enough commitment to pledge on (the house, the car, the credit card, kids school/baby sitter fees, etc, etc) my last option, is, to borrow some money from my mum – which she has turned me down! To my disbelief! How could she? Or maybe my business proposal was not really convincing? I was like OMG…it hurts me…A LOT! But it’s okay. (It took me almost a week to recover) .I take it up as a challenge!
Okay, so what I’m gonna sell?
- Hm…some baby/kid stuffs. Since my $$$ is not consenting me to purchase variety of stuffs, so I guess I will focus on selling cloth diaper. It’s not a branded one..Like Happy Henys ka, Bum Genius ka, Growbaby ka, Bitti’ Diish ka, Bottom Bumper ka etc.. It’s actually just an ordinary CD - made in
- My review, I tried Happy Henys, Bottom Bumper, Bitti’ Diish, Dream Eze, Tiny Tush..It performs the same quality/standard as the made in
- In line of the concept of diapering your child saves our $$$ I think buying these non-branded CD is much more worth every penny spends. I spend almost RM 1000.00 to get those branded CDs whilst I’ve spend RM 200.00 to get 12 pcs of non – branded CD that carry the same quality as the branded CDs. For mothers out there, do not feel offended on my review. This is what I’ve experienced. Well everybody has their on thoughts right?
Okay, How to get it/do it?
- Found my suppliers. 2 of them. Quite a good wholesale price though. Already place my order anyway.
- My start up capital?? Let see…have to dig in & out la...for sure it’s my own money...
- How to sell? Let see, at the moment I only can think two ways , mouth to mouth, flying brochures to my neighbors inbox..
Okay, where I’m gonna do it/ sell it?
- Of course, this is part time. So I’m gonna sell it from home to home, hand to hand,
- On line store. But this is to be KIV. Since I do not have a lot of stuffs in hand, I do not want to publish and promotes my web to public/people. It will embarrass me!well..1st impression is important!
Okay, Who is my customers?
- Strangers?
- Neighbors
- Relatives
- Friends
Okay, when to do it?
- Anytime if I received order la..
- Or if I go to kenduri kendara ka, family gathering ka, will bring few stocks in and promote cloth diapering.
Okay, last but not least, WHY I want to do it?
- To sustain my family income of course.
- To have extra money for my own personal use. So that I can shop my own personal things, going to spa-ing my self without having a 2nd thought that the money i have in my bank account is for household, bills, etc.
- I wanted to buy sewing machine! I want to gain skills in sewing so that I can make money out of it.
- I wanted to have my own extra money to buy things that I want without asking it from my husband. (The thing about me is that, when I want something and asked from someone, I don’t ever like to be turned down. It really makes me soooooooooo…frustrated.)
Hmmm…what a long write up ah..I feel somewhat relief though! I wish my self all the best of luck! May I be success..and let my business grow and grow…
Till then..
