Hello everyone! Today I'm gonna talk about this serious topic! Loll I've got this question many many times and I think I would express it better in words than talking. So let's get started.

So, you asked me, how I decided to quit my 9 to 5 job. Honestly, when I quit my job, I was really scared and I almost gave up this dream of mine,  the dream that you guys currently seeing now on the Internet,  the Twenty3 dream.

After working for 1.5 years, I finally realized that I'm not happy.  No matter how good I work, I wouldn't feel happy. I went through a lot of roller coasrers throughout that 1.5 years. I started up a few departments, involved and suceed in one of the business development projects. I was in KL, then penang, then KL. I was an ordinary employee who doesn't speak good english and try to quit after the first day of my job being a sales person, and became a sales manager at the last stop of my journey with my previous company.  I was a happy girl girl, thought that everything was perfect to a super sad girl that everything in the world seems hopeless. I was strong, then some drama happened and I was weak and then I was strong again because I picked myself up.

There're tons of things happened throughout the 1.5 years. I've learned so much. And there's this one day, I realized that I'm not myself anymore. I'm not happy. I have to motivate my team every single day yet me myself felt demotitvated worst and worst over time.

I couldn't see myself anymore.  I'm lost. I started to think about who am I and what I want to be in this coming 5 years and start wondering whether I am doing the right thing to achieve my goals that I dreamed of in the coming 5 years time.

The answer was yes! Of course yes! My 1.5 years working experience seriously taught me too much things that I wouldn't learn if i chose to work in normal companies!

I still remember the reason why I applied to this comoany. That's because I want to learn something.  I hate corperate ladder and I know I will work hard in order to perform well. And I'm seriously thankful to all the opportunity given. So what's the reason that really makes me feel like I want to quite?

The answer is the dream! The dream that I had since my uni time. I was scared, I was terrified actually. I'm not born in rich family and I do not want to get any financial help from my parents because they simply don't deserve this. They deserved a great life! My parents had sacrificed a lot just to let me finish my degree.

And there's this one day, I find it really hard to pick myself up to work anymore. I started to hate my job. I started to feel that everything seems so hard for me. And there's this one important person in my life, who is my mentor told me that I should do what I want to do. I shouldn't be afraid of anything because I've already know what I want. I told him I don't know what I want. He said I knew. The answer is my store. My Twenty3 paris dream!

These words changed my life. And after hanging for a few days time, the feeling fianlly hit me. So strongly that I know I must do it.

I walked up to my manager and told him I wanted to resign. And he asked :"then what you gonna do next? Have you gotten a job yet?" I said no. Not yet. But if there's a will, there's always a way! (I can't believe I said that).

Just like that, I quitted my job. And started the journey of my Twenty3 Paris Dream.

I do not have any advises for you guys because I felt that I'm not qualified to advise you guys yet. I'm not successful yet and there's still a long way to go. But I can share with you guys that life is short. Stop wastinv your time doing things that you don't like. Stop blaming, start acting.

You might not have the best resources. However, a big heart  is already the strongest weapon for you to achieve your dream.

Dream is terrifying sometimes. But in order to live happily in our dream, we need to be terrified. 

I would like to highlight one important thing here too. If you're an employee doesn't mean you're not living your dream.  Everyone has different dreams! If your job is what you want, why not? Entrepreneurs are not any smarter than employee! We're all human and the only different is just that we're living in diffefent dreams. 

I hope this post helps a lil bit to you. I'm not that successful yet but I willl be! Cz I must be! And I wish, I would have the chance to share my successful stories! Pls wait for me wtf hahahah Fingers crossed.
