Current Status: Busy

I am currently busy preparing and promoting for Hari Raya orders. Few discussions had been made, people to meet. I am expecting busy months ahead, July and August.

Hey, never thought there are a lot of women out there only working for a month (Ramadhan) and get paid (profit) for a year. True story. I read it here, and actually met a few people that eventually proved it right.

Currently I am promoting my cookies to bazaar seller...and if you happen to know anyone, you can contact me... :)

Home Bakery - You Won't Get Rich Doing It

As pessimist would tell us, "you won't get rich by doing that". We agree, yes we won't be rich by doing home bakery. That's the reality. You may ask, "But why you do it?". Below are the answers that I think already crossed your mind.

• sick and tired of the rat race...(the longer you live, the bigger the cage will be)
  
• bored with office politic (hehe)
  
• to escape the 9-5 working hours
• I prefer to do what I love, think about the financial rewards later
• in order to aim something bigger, we have to start somewhere, right?
• want to meet new people, instead of the same 20 person in the department
  

Home bakery is one of the Do-It-Yourself enterprise. Though we won't be rich because the income largely come from active income. But doing what you love and survive, is a bonus. Plus, the flexible working hours that most of the corporate slave envy and the wonderful (and also not so wonderful) people that you get to meet. Guess what, you will get to work at home surrounded with people that you love. This is exactly very contrast to what you will endure in office :).

Today's marketing is very different from what we had nearly 10 years ago. We are very lacking in the marketing field, but thanks a lot to the internet. Nowadays, even Hari Raya cookies are sold online. So we just tag along with the current trend. Jump into the bandwagon and see what happened although we were not very clear of what exactly internet marketing really about. When ResipiEmak first launched, the orders were very overwhelming and unexpected. Thank you very much to our first batch of online customers.

The point is, there is no harm in trying, especially if you have the support of your loved ones. And I am grateful to have such a wonderful and supportive hubby. Thanks hubby! Maybe someday all the recipes that I learn from emak (mother) can be turn into a famous branding. Who knows?

I believe it is very clear that, doing what you love and try to build wealth around it is the only way to go. No shortcut to success, so take that first big step and ignore the pessimist.

Good luck!
