In the 22 years and 9 months of my life, i have undertaken various business ventures and gained many valuable experiences and lessons from them. I started business before i even knew what a business was. At the age of 11, i started buying pens and pencils from a local thrift store and selling them to my classmates at a good profit. I will now list down a timeline on my business ventures, the ones that really matter.
From 2005 – Online Websites (Ongoing)
My 2nd older brother was an internet whiz kid who got me started on my first real money generating venture. He introduced me to the world of internet marketing and showed me what real cash was. The earnings from the sites peaked in 2010 and is showing a declining trend. Sadly, not much savings remained from this highly successful venture as i was never a wise spender in the past.
2009 – Free Stuff Warehouse (Failed)
Started another internet venture that involved me pasting fliers with a few friends all over Sinagpore. Sadly, the implementation part failed. Our operations were in a mess and there was simply no system, and a business without a system is doom to failure.
2011 – 12 Events Website (Docile State)
Around 2011 to 2012, i got into contact with a IT whiz who is currently working in California. He taught me many things about system and showed me a glimpse of what it means to do the big projects. Unfortunately, because he had to continue working in California, our cooperation did not last as it was simply too difficult to coordinate everything. Eventually, the entire cooperation just went dormant.
From 2012 – Dlicsar (Changed)
Before 2013, Dlicsar was supposed to be a web development team that built websites for clients. Unfortunately, due to the team’s lack of technical expertise, we eventually have to give up on continuing operations at Dlicsar and it was eventually converted into my personal journal.
From 2012 – IQ Home Tuition (Ongoing)
This is currently the business venture that is showing the most promise right now. One partner and i are currently doing this together. Simply put, we try to help parents find a suitable tutor for their kid. This is something i wish to focus on as i want to venture into the service industry, which is what is thriving right now.
As you can see, i have gone through quite a bit and i still haven’t add in the hundreds of ties that i brought from China into any of these business ventures. Much time and money was wasted but massive experiences were gained. Was it worth it? Only time will tell.
