Re: Full time or Part time Entrepreneur
 

well, personally i feel quite inspired by a book written by adam khoo, he wrote thatone of the factors that could contribute to success is to put yourself on the line...

of late, i find myself comtemplating if i should quite my full time job, take up a part time one and manage the business at the same time? i find it tough to do both, and do them WELL at the same time. i'm no superwoman lah :laff:

Re: Full time or Part time Entrepreneur
 

I had just found a shop, and am looking for goods for consignment and also any 2nd hand display case or anything suitable for selling fashion and accessiories. Anything to minimise my startup costs as I hv little capital! Much appreciate! This is my dream..I was hesitating becos of the recession and worry..but someone told me.."thinking" means no action..u will just "think"..u need to DO IT! So I did...scare of failure ? of course..but at least I can tell myself I TRIED! No regrets...wish me luck!

Re: Full time or Part time Entrepreneur
 

Hi Shuimu i am very curious where is yr shop?I am very interested to have my accessories as an consignment in yr shop...

Re: Full time or Part time Entrepreneur
 

Shuimei, good on you for taking this first brave step, we should try to live life without regrets! :clap:

do share with us your shop location, i'm intending to sell fashion bags :)

Re: Full time or Part time Entrepreneur
 

It is in a wet market! Why becos I rent direct from NEA therefore cheaper rental. After much consideration, I think that mall is not where I want to be even though there is a crowd. The rental and competition is too high. With the recession, I figured that people will shop more in their neighbourhood shops. With the right products that target at the right market, also I believe that building relationship with customers is even better than walk in. The location is in Holland Drive market :) and I intend to work half days only..haha..I already have accessories, if u wish to consign bags would be good. Nothing too fashionable and young looking though...maybe chic and practical?

Re: Full time or Part time Entrepreneur
 

i see! hmmmm... i'll let you know if i decide to consign my bags in your shop. wishing your biz a great success! :clap:

Re: Full time or Part time Entrepreneur
 

Doing as a side line for many years from 2003 to 2008, 2 sisters have been selling from mainly apparels, some accessories to bags (pouches.. etc) at SG Yahoo Auction, until it is closed down last year.

As my sis holds a regular full time job and having hectic schedules,
I'd switched venture partner in year 2009.
Now me and my cousin worked together we run about bazaar for selling apparels.

And as a middlemen supplies for interested parties as wholesale
and consignment with workable agreement. As quite a few number of
people is asking for consign or wholesale supplier for their
sideline, push cart and retail at times, instead of manufacturer as
they charge high quantity produced and quite a amount needed for the stocks.

Passion in fashion is one of my dreams. We also seek that we will be able to help anyone out there for their shared dreams in this passion too.

Recently I just quit my full time job to do my online business and I can say that it is quite a brave move of me and you need to think carefully whether it is worth it.. Cos of my online business I normally go and sleep about 2am and wake up at 6.30am for my work(as my workplace is super far away from my house). Everyday I can say I am late for work and colleagues had been complaining about me and I think it is time to give up my full time job to complete my dream which is my online business.

Re: Full time or Part time Entrepreneur
