Making some good progress with the development of our fashion online store. Interesting ideas are starting to form, but which requires time for actual execution. Given that the three of us are all working full-time nor are we are not active on the web or fashion experts, things appear to be a little tougher than I initially thought it would be.
While I remain confident of the future for De-Stylez, I can't help but be pessimistic at times. And this negative energy sometimes translates into frequent checks if my partners find that they have gotten into a big "shit" with me, and that I would understand if they choose to back out from the partnership.
Turn out? Think too much.
I am grateful for their time, effort and belief that the business would (eventually) succeed.
A day ago, I coincidentally met one of my entrepreneurial friend. He's still on his business and when asked how is it going ("has it stabilised"). His reply was "not yet, it takes about five years, and now we are only into the third". Such patience and belief that things will turn out well - a lesson learnt.
On another occasion is about my encounter with this store - BeansTalk. Once every month on a Sunday, I would go for my facial. And after that I would make my way to this store near Toa Payoh Hub NTUC, and can't help but to get myself a cup or two of their signature item. At $2 and without the sight of a queue, why not? Often, while waiting for my order to be ready, I would think to myself, "what a waste, such great product that gets unnoticed (either because of lack of traffic and/or publicity)". But today, for the first time, I had to queue for it. This.meant.something.
Indeed, starting up is hard. But if your product is good, your time and effort will eventually get paid off. You just have to be persistent and maintain that strong belief that you had when you first started out.
While I am typing this post, I am happily eating my cup of BeansTalk (less sugar!) >_-
