What’s Next?

I have just three months left, and I’m facing a million-dollar question: Should I look for a new job or start my own business?

Job Search vs. Starting a Business

  1. Looking for a New Job: Given the current situation, finding a new job seems like the more stable option to supplement our household income.

    • Industry Considerations: The trending fields of AI, sustainability, and cybersecurity are intriguing, but they’re relatively unfamiliar to me. My background is primarily in sales and marketing within the Fintech (lending) industry, specifically focused on the Indonesian market. This specialization feels quite narrow.
    • Next Steps: I could either deepen my expertise in Fintech and investment through relevant courses and certifications or explore new certificates related to AI, sustainability, or cybersecurity, even though I lack direct experience in these areas. However, pursuing Fintech and investment seems more feasible for now.
  2. Starting a Business: If job hunting doesn’t pan out, I may need to consider launching a simple business.

    • Business Ideas: Options like dropshipping or trading require minimal capital and investment.
    • Learning Needs: I’ll need to educate myself on SEO, social media marketing, and identifying market needs to ensure the business is viable.

Timeline and Action Plan

To stay on track, I need to set a timeline. If my job search doesn’t yield results within a month or so, I’ll pivot to exploring business opportunities. This way, I can ensure I’m making progress no matter which path I take.

Oh God, You are my compass. You know what’s best for me. Grant me your wisdom as I navigate these choices!

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...

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.
