Declutter !

As I've been approaching the last miles of my career, I feel that there are many opportunities out there that looks lucrative. However, I am not sure which ones are really meant for me as I only can see the top of the iceberg.

Currently, I am taking sustainability course with BCG Rise as I want to dive deeper into this. It's not because of the trend, but more on personal advocate to create social impact to the people and environment.

Meanwhile these are some opportunities that I could see :

1. Work for people

- Joining competitor whom I respect the founder from his own story, insights and sharing that inspiring me

Pros : I can adapt quickly as I know the product roughly, tap into my networks and have a chance to grow their business faster as I could see that their products are simple, less complicated and suited to the market

Cons : I can't join directly as I have non competition clause for 3 months and it's more on the ethical point of view that the earliest I can join will be end of Q1 and update my LinkedIn after Q2.

- Joining marketplace apps whom I know the founder and it seems that he needs help to grow at Indo market

Pros : Early start up, things can be tweaked and pivoted according to market needs and tap into my network and knowledge, I may be able to help the business grow faster 

Cons : As it's an early start up, I am not sure if they have budget to offer me as the current company pays

2. Venture into new business (sustainability and circular economy related)

- Set up company branch/holding from existing Indonesia partner's entity (Reverse Vending Machine or 2nd hand furniture business)

Pros : Exciting journey, something that I always want to do, exponential personal growth and learning curve as I will learn a lot during the journey

Cons : The stake is high, need to have cofounder who is more experienced and the same value and mission, a lot of planning and preparation that will take my time and energy

I really want to go into stage 2 as that's my dream to have something on my own that I can contribute fully all my knowledge, experiences, network to make a social impact.

The question is am I ready ? or shall I work for early start up first to see how it goes before jumping into the ocean and start swimming there ?

Let see how the things unveiled.

A Burger Date

It feels like it's been ages to have a date night with hubby, thus before my parents going back to Indo we decided to have a couple date over burger as I have been craving with Hans I'm Gluck burger. We went there, enjoying the burger and companion of each other and talking about anything, something that we are used to have but no longer anymore after I took a new role in the company. Then, I accompanied him to shop at H&M before heading back home. It's one of the best burgers I ever had since I am in fasting the whole day for a week. The perk of fasting is I could appreciate the food and enjoy it.

Jubilee Year - Year of Hope (2025)

Year of Hope: A Personal Reflection on 2025 The year 2025 has been declared a Jubilee Year, a  Year of Hope  by the Pope—a time for peace, joy, and prosperity. For many, entering a new year brings feelings of happiness and optimism. However, I find myself on a different path, starting the year with anxiety and uncertainty rather than joy and hope. For me, 2025 is a year of the unknown. It marks the first time in four years that I will not hold the title of a working mom. Transitioning from this identity feels daunting and unfamiliar. It is also the year I plan to embark on a new venture: starting a winter rental business. This endeavor excites me but is fraught with challenges. There are countless pieces of the puzzle yet to be solved, and I pray for wisdom and the support of "ordinary angels" to guide me through. This is also a pivotal year for our family. Two of our children will face major exams. While I know the journey matters more than the results, I hope they develop s...

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving. Your internal dialogue—questioning the value of public shame and your perceptions of the situation—demonstrates a mature self-awareness. It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...
