Sunday, 30th May 2021 is the feast of Holy Trinity.
Two days before, I had this prompting to venture to new adventure which is opening the homemade dessert which is healthier version of what the market offer.
I have been in dilemma as I am in the comfortable life right now. I have a great job with good salary, can spend time with my hubby and kids, enjoy my passion to coach and train other people, the least I ever thought is starting entrepreneur journey again.
Entrepreneur journey is not an easy path, very challenging and tiring sometimes but it's fulfilling mission as well.
On Sunday afternoon, I had a call from my trainee. Suddenly she told me "Indah, can you open PO for acai bowl?" I was shocked and didn't know what to say. In addition, she told me that to open the order on Tuesday as I met her and she was willingly to help distributing the food.
I tried to give her some excuses as I haven't bought the ingredients and even haven't counted the cost and price yet.
She persuaded and told me that we could open a small batch for 8 bowls only. I told her, alright, I will count the cost and price and let her know. After I hung up the phone, I was still stunt.
I need to make a quick decision to go ahead or to reject her request.
In the end, I decided to go ahead, it's a lap of faith. Quickly, I ordered ingredients online hoping that it will be delivered the next day as I only have 1 day to prepare everything. Counting the cost and deciding the selling price, finding the name, logo, packaging etc in a short notice.
Just before 6pm, I told her alright let's go ahead with 8 bowls as a start.
She quickly sent the broadcast message to the group and within 15 minutes, it's filled up so quickly and she paid me for 8 bowls first.
I was amazed.....
On Monday, thanks God the main ingredients arrived on time, I bought the rest of it including the packaging on Monday.
On Tuesday, I passed it to her and she helped to distribute it to her friends.
Everything happened so quickly and it really the lap of faith.
After receiving some good feedback, I decided to open batch 2 PO for other area which is Bishan. Again, I just opened for 10 bowls to test the market. Within a day, I could close the PO for 12 bowls which will be delivered on Sunday, 6 June 2021.
So this is a week of my entrepreneur revival spirit. I have mix feeling, fear, anxiety, hope, pride, joy. One word that summarises it is I feel so alive. It's like me that comes back again from the hybernation period.
