The start of a jobless life. (Putting myself in Deep Shit)
It has been 4 months being jobless after my last contract. Although there is an attractive offer placed right in front of me, however, i refused to take it, and straight head start to what I have always dream about, which is to become a business owner of my own. I don’t dare to categories myself as an ‘Entrepreneur’, cause I didn’t really prepare for that. However, things that I have done so far makes me feels like one of them.
It took me quite some time to quit my job. My aim is to survive without a job. So…. i quit my job, and get myself into real deep shit situation. Realizing that I have no fix Income, I got an insurance to pay, my parents are retiring, my brother is still studying, and petrol hikes like hell within the past few months, and my savings are draining so fast. So, i have to force myself to work for my own money and to achieve the dreams I wanted.
So, what will I be doing, hmmmm…. yet to know…
