Change

My change starts the day I left my world of employment and embarked into the world of entrepenuership. Yes, to some, it may sound scary and many people thought it was crazy of me. Infact, it is scary when you realised that you no longer have a fixed salary but rather faced with uncertainties of business sentiments and income.

What business do I do? I am in the business of protecting one's life from life's uncertainties. I am in the business where I speak on behalf of the widows and the children. I am in the business where the moment the bread winner of a family leaves, I am there to provide a cheque for the living. It is truly a beautiful noble business.. I am in the business of life insurance!

Being in this line has changed my whole perspective about the working life. I was in the corporate world once where I was a marketing manager in a property development company. I thought that I would spend the rest of my life in this career and that I will slowly climb the corporate ladder just as I did from just a clerk 10 years ago to a Manager. Now looking back, I realised that 10 years is a long time and that I am not getting any younger. If I am lucky I will
probably be a Senior Manager in another 10 years?? The thing about the corporate world is, your future is not really in your hands but rather in those above you (ie. your boss).

I had the privilege of exploring into the world of entrepenuers. Believe me, it was not easy to break the boundaries.. the boundaries of fear and worry. It is not easy to clear the mental garbage that you have collected over the years. Right now, entrepenuership is about being daring, about taking risk, about challenges and about perseverance! This is a totally different world. No one tells you what to do. Basically in this world, if you fail in this business, you have no else to blame but yourself.

Becoming a full time insurance agent for the last 4 months have taught me a lot. It has taught me strength, it has shown me love and patience and it has also shown me who my true friends are. 4 months in life insurance has taught me so much more than my 4 years in the corporate world.

How am I doing now? I have still a lot of fears to overcome and so much more to learn. I will move on and on as there is so much life to protect and care for. I am there to continue to propagate insurance and to convert as many people as possible into the religion of life insurance! Now that is life!
