Folks,
Today, I would like to call it as my First Day at Work.
I am now working at a small company called AUDECOM who is an authorized distributor of TM Sdn. Bhd. products. So, if you are in need of any products from TM and wishes for special pricing, I am your man.
Why is today so special?
It's because I have a valid work permit and a visitor's pass to stay in Malaysia for a year.
Perhaps one day, I'll share my story of how difficult is was to get my work permit.
So now I am officially back in the working force, earning an income: paycheck-to-paycheck and I am answerable to a boss.
It is like going backwards on my road to success where I wanted to be an entrepreneur and earn a living by my means but after several years of it, enough is enough isn't it?
Especially if I am not making the kind of income that I want.
What is the income that I want?
Based on what was Singapore's average income per capita, it was SGD3,600.00/mth an that was information gotten from 2005 census.
So if I want what an average Singaporean is getting in year 2005, in Malaysia, I should earn: RM8,600.00/mth or USD2,300.00/mth.
Is that possible? Let's see....
Another thing I want to do is that I am not giving up on my Internet Based Business(W4$3) and that I still want to make it a possibility to earn as above.
But, the first thing that I am going to do is to go to my house precinct(kampung/Taman), and get everyone there to sign up for STREAMYX Combo.
I hope that my April, I would have Internet service in my house and I can do IM stuff after work.
After I got the Internet Connection solved, then I'll start building my list by giving away a free e-book and it's accompanying mp3 audio file, so that folks who have no time to read, they can take the mp3 file and listen to the book.
Rather than gripe and bitch about my current situation, I think that I need to take charge of my circumstance and make thing go my way!
Cheers!

Day 163.0: Very Frustrating!
Folks!
I feel like I'm a man on fire but there is this wall in front of me that I find difficult to climb.
Strangely, I seem to feel that there are people who want to help me BUT like the help is either behind the wall or up on the wall BUT just too far for me to reach!
I'm frustrated with a lot of things because I want to make my business work (W4$3) but I'm still not getting the results that I want.
I think I know what to do but when I want to do them, I hit a wall like:
Like there is no internet connection that I can use to have access so that I can do the business activities for my W4$3 business?
And when I do find ways to get some internet connection, the speed is horrendously SLOW!
Or, when I have the opportunity to go to a Cyber Cafe to access the internet, my spouse would want me to do something else and I have to do something else, instead of my W4$3 biz!
Which leads to point 2 where when I have the time, I don't have the opportunity!
AND, now that I have just gotten my Work Permit, I'm going to have even more of a struggle to find time to get my W4$3 going!!! Because I have to go to work and when I've finished work, I won't have the time and/or energy to access my W4$3 business.
Like think about my daily routine:
And how much am I getting from my work? RM500 + Commission.
That is not a lot of money for the amount of work that I am doing BUT I am still going to do it because it was my prayer that got me that job.
So?
So, if my on-line activities only grant me USD100.00 a year (2008) and my off-line is going to give me at lease RM6000(USD1,600) a year plus commission, I guess the later is better isn't it?
It doesn't make sense really as I had a perfect work/biz model where I can stay close to the family and have a lot of time on my hand and have the potential to earn a comfortable income. But now, I have to go back to getting a job, work 12 hours a day and get 1 day off or sometimes none at all and get less that what I aspect.
The one thing that REALLY BUGS me is the lact of Internet Connection at my own home!
At least of there is one, I can still spend some time like after 11:00pm or 12:00pm to do some internet business based activities, right?

- Start work: 9:00am
- Work: 9:00am to 10:00pm
- Reach home: 10:30pm or 11:00pm.
- Want to do my W4$3 biz: How? No internet connection at home nor at Mother-In-Law's house! Go to Cyber Cafe? At 11:00pm?!
