Business Idea
Friday, November 23, 2007
Thursday went to BBG with Bb. This coming Saturday I’ll be going for two weddings with Bb, so Sunday need to go make up svc and can’t go CG.
This is not the first time I went to BBG. When I reached there, there’s a buffet reception. I don’t feel like eating that time, so I ate a little only. A point of time I was thinking how can CG members be so free up to contribute to be able to have a buffet reception like this every single week. Was quite challenged, I want to be more financially freed up to do more things and be a blessing to those that are in need.
Eng Han and Paul preached for BBG. The sermon is about walking in confidence in God. I was blessed by the message. Many times I just feel that I’m not good enough to do big things for God. Personally, it’s a big mental hindrance in my life.
I was blessed by the sermon. Towards the end of the meeting, we’re praying and suddenly a business idea came into my mind. Told Bb after the session, I was feeling excited about it. I’m looking forward to the future and the same time enjoying my life now to the fullest.
Before the CG meeting start, Bb told me Christmas church will be having a bazaar selling things. That time as I was considering whether to take up a stall, my first thought is not whether I have the time to commit. The first thought that came is that I don’t think anyone will appreciate my work; don’t think anyone would want to buy. Remembered that time when I have the shop in bugis, not much appreciate my work. Many are not willing to pay more. They expect the pricing to be about the same as the rest of the shops that sells mass produced items. Many times was quite discouraged. Subconsciously, I allow this negative thinking to come into my soul. I start to think that my work won’t be appreciated; I can’t live a prosperous life by drawing.
Thinking through, I told Bb that I don’t want to join, no capital and don’t think have the time to do it.
After the CG meeting, felt that faith came into my heart once again. This gift that I have, it’s a God given gift, why should I feel that whatever God has placed in my hands will not prosper? Now, I just need to practice more, challenge myself every time to come out with better and more detailed designs.
Many are able to draw something, not a lot can make it in great details. I want to train myself to be able to be comfortable in drawing details. When I was in secondary school, Molly and I like to draw girls wearing many varieties of clothes. Molly’s design is very detailed in her design, mine was not so elaborate. That time I told myself I don’t think I can draw something like hers. Didn’t realize that since then, I caught myself in a box, I acted what I have believed in --- I can’t draw details.
I want to have a breakthrough in this area. I don’t think the talents that God gave are only this; I believe I can move even further. I got to keep challenge myself.
I don’t believe that whatever I draw don’t worth money. I don’t want to draw till no day no night and can’t earn much. I want to enjoy drawing; I don’t want to draw because I want to put food on the table. I don’t want to stay up overnight just to rush for orders. I am tired for that kind of life. I believe I can receive breakthrough.
After Thursday’s BBG, I start to believe God that I can succeed in this area in my life. Nothing is impossible, I need to tell myself to be confident to pick up my paint brush and start to draw something.
Decided to start to draw something for my friends and for myself. I don’t want to give myself a dateline on how much I need to draw within a month. I want to keep my heart relaxed and allow creativity flow through me. Rushing is the best way to destroy creativity. Remember that time T-Shirt and Jeans design, I spent days to done up the jeans. That’s the best that I’ve ever drawn as yet. Although I didn’t win, but I’ve learnt a lot. I’ve challenged myself and have moved on to the next level.
This will be a beginning of another chapter of my life --- preparing for starting a business in future. Decided that when I start this business again, I don’t want to compromise on my pricing anymore. This is all done by hands, if people want cheap stuff, can get from those shirt that use machines to print.
As I’m typing now, ideas keep flowing in… it’s very exciting! Hee.. :D
