"Getting Rich Or Die Trying : Part 1"

The movie cast by 50 cent. However, i'm not gonna write bout that. Its about the meaning of the phrase. It's bout u trying hard to accumulate wealth, end up, either u getting rich or vise versa.

When i'm 15 years old, i set one target which @ the age of 30, either i will be somebody or i will taste my 1st mill. To me, nothing is imposible except Al-mighty interfearence. How i'm gonna do it? @ that time, i dont know how.

After SPM, all according to plan, got the 'U' i wanted, got a lovely aweks (yum2). put my best effort to achive the excel.I did received my scroll. thank god for that. then the journey began. at this time, all i think is to get a job with high paid, and saving as much as i can to archive my goal. hehehe, however, what do u expect from a fresh grade. i start my career with RM800 as a so called 'application developer'.
The job not last long, when i jump 2 another company where i did my freelance job. Started with same post as b4 but better pay.much2 better.Within a year at the age of 25, i've been promoted to ast. manager with increment of course.But what do u expect from a sme comp..although as ast. mgr, i did almost everything in software dev. cycle. that point of time, what i can think is only work. Work like 'kerbau'. I rarely taste my own bed .Office couch is my bestfrenz.

When i look back, i've wasted almost 3 years for that job.People said, u must gain something in that 3 years. Yeah, they right. 'Never,ever work in a small company, always aim for big fish', that what i've learn.

Now, at the age of 26, the preasure become bigger. I quit the job coz the condition become worst.My salary like shit.Evening i got my paid,at night i have to loan it to the company owner. The comp didn't pay my epf.Not once.Fuck them. New thing i've learn.'Always protect your interest eventhough from ur frenz'. I make a decision, If i stick to normal people routine, it wont take me anywhere..., so i start my own bizz.With capital rm78, i've registered my company. An internet services company. For a newbie like me my early start kinda good. With my techy skill, team up with my partner, we got 2 account with quite a good figure.Good interms of beginner like us. However it just the beginning. 'Nothing come easy in bussiness'. My 1st account is Italian company & 2nd account is an Indian company.Both of them, were foreigner looking for bizz oppurtinity here.

At 1st everything went as plan.I counter my 1st prob, with this Indian comp. 2 many job at the same time.Yes, that good coz it gave more money but it become pain in the ass when ur client asking 2 much for the price they pay. Yeah 'people management bla,bla..anthony robin stuff.'.I did all my best,but at last i have to label that account as a failure. However i manage get half of the payment though. 'Never ever do business with Indians'. No offence, but i learned from my experience. They good in what Malay called 'putar-belit'.

During the process, i've learned a lot..'Everybody can start a bizz, but not everyone can maintain it'. I don't want to be a loser. It's all bout passion.Everyday i slept only 2 hours,never complained.My office is everywhere.Cybercafe, frenz house, kedai mamak.I barely sleep at my own house.Never complained.. Everything u do is all bout passion..

To be contiune...
