The Big Decision

6 and a half years of working for Sim Wong Hoo and I finally made the big decision to quit!

Those around me will know, it juz sound so crazy to give it up at this point - a comfortable pay, a leading position for my section with no one ahead of me that might hinder my promotion opportunities, supportive bosses, things going so well with building my team, better positive attitude from the marketing team, ...etc. ...plus the fact that I have a house, car and tons of monthly bills to pay for...and a wife I have to take care of.

Well... I juz couldn't resist taking on that dream of mine to build my own business. Some already telling me that I'm not doing my maths right, giving up all that I have now. The cruel fact that I'll be getting a big pay cut for this move is not helping to back my decision up.

All I can say now is - There's never a good time to decide on any change, I only knew I had to leave that comfort zone and go rough it out a bit. I do acknowledge the fear for failure, but most importantly, I actually BELIEVE I can do it. Whether it's ego or juz pure optimism, that's the life I choose, so give me the support I need or leave me alone...

Now, it's time to control my spending and say goodbye to that extravagant lifefstyle of mine...haha.
