Share Your Motivation

Hi all!

I think i've got this real great idea, and wanna start my entrepreneur career with the pushcart medium. Seems like a good way for many of us without big capital backing. Wondering if anyone would like to share how and why they started out with pushcarts.

Me, i've got a 9-6 jobbie right now, but I don't feel I got what it takes to be an employee. It's just too much compromising for ultimately a meager lifestyle and hope for the future...unless you really love the work or prospects are predictably good, like what I think of for lawyers, accountants and doctors. Typically i'm easily addicted to gaming, and putting those hours into learning hard skills outside my 9-6 for the sake of my career is a tough battle against temptation of double-clicking my game icon to stimulate my mind. BUT, I realize that creating my own business is such an engaging activity. In fact, all my life through schools and all, I've adapted to think a certain way...the employee's way, which might be thinking about how bad the job market is now, thinking about resume techniques, interview techniques, on-the-job best attitudes...etc. Breaking away from it just opens a whole new world of perspectives.

I had this sudden insight : Capitalism is great, as we already know. And moreover, Capitalism works for entrepreneurs! Not for workers. Workers would be better off under a more socialist state of affairs. And without getting all academia-ly, Singapore is, after all, a capitalist country. Places like SPRING Singapore and EnterpriseOne are encouraging entrepreneurship cos new businesses is what the country supports and needs. Good workers are impt, but they can be (in fact, ARE being) sourced overseas! Sure, don't expect the government to bail you out if you fail your venture - they'd probably leave you to die - but they sure ain't working against your success. I don't know I can say the same thing of employees when their salary purchasing power pales so severely compared to other countries.
