Saya seorang yang pemalu. I am a shy person. I don’t sing in
public. I don’t do public speaking. I don’t talk to people I do not know. I am
cursed with my resting bitch face. People often mistaken me for being so
sombong. I am not sombong. I just do not know how to start small talk with
people I am not close to. So kenapa nak mula bisnes yang terang – terangan and
amat nyata kita kene bercakap dengan orang?
To be honest, I was not brought up in a business minded
family. Tapi selalu rasa nak ada bisnes sendiri sebab rasa puas kalau dapat
jual barang kita sendiri. I always wanted to be surrounded with beautiful
things. I have always been interested in fashion and beauty. Although I’m far
from being creative, hence I can’t design, but as a woman who loves shopping, I
want to sell those things.
Pernah dulu pergi interview dengan FashionValet masa FV baru
sangat start. Rasanya masa tu baru setahun lebih FV started. I met Vivy and
Fadza at BSC for the interview after work for dinner / interview. Sangat chill
sebab I still remember I told Fadza I couldn’t come for an interview on
weekdays during working hour and they don’t work on weekend so he asked me to
come for an interview after work. Masa tu masih bekerja dekat GEDS and they
just promoted me and naikkan gaji so when Fadza asked me what was the salary
that I wanted and I told him, dia memang sangat truthful cakap they cannot
afford me sebab they can only pay fresh grad salary. Mungkin I should have
started from zero again tapi dengan commitment ada rumah and baby, rasa sangat
tak mampu untuk start from zero again. And look where FashionValet is now. So
proud of how far they go. Memang takda rezeki bekerja with FashionValet tapi
rasa sangat bersyukur nonetheless. Sebab along the way up until now, sebab
obviously we cannot turn back the time, so I don’t feel any regret of the
choices that I made sebab semua pun pasti Allah dah aturkan.
Lepaskan impian dengan FashionValet, terus berangan dan
berharap dapat kerja dengan Sime Darby. Sebab I do not have any fashion
background so memang tak tahu macam mana nak start in this kind of business, so
kuburkan minat and focus dekat ability and qualification yang ada. Actually
macam tak percaya je dapat kerja Sime Darby sebab process dia sangat cepat. Dalam
sebulan lebih hantar resume, panggil for an interview, within a month dah
dapat.
During the time am working, niat nak bisnes sentiasa ada. So
I started buat dropship Kaylena Beauty which I still use until now cuma dah tak
jual. Sempat betul-betul jual dalam setahun je sebab stokist yang handle the
stock quit and I sangat comfortable working with them. So bila they quit, I
decided to quit as well although I still buy from time to time directly dekat
Leuniey. Terkubur balik impian berbisnes.
Masa pregnant Aayden, I told Nally I realllllllyyy wanted to
start selling something tapi taktau nak jual apa. Lepas tu ada idea nak jual
tudung. WHY? Sebab that’s the in-thing right now and sebab selalu shopping
tudung. Nally ni dibesarkan dalam family otak business. So dia la yang sangat
sangat sangat push for me to just start. Dia dah bebel suruh start before
beranak, after beranak habis pantang baru pergi beli kain. Kene bebel dengan
mama sebab tiap-tiap hari after habis pantang keluar.
Nak jugak bagi credit to my primary school friend. Tak rapat
pun time sekolah tapi now, selalu beli baju, tudung etc dekat dia
sebab dia dah lama start her own business.
Surprisingly, dia sangat sangat sangat tak kedekut ilmu or any
information or even sapa supplier dia. Apa I tak tahu I Tanya, semua dia jawab.
She told me her experiences in starting business and advise me on a lot of
things. Bagi semangat pun ada. So thank you Putri Ereka. You have no idea how
much you have help me by giving me the strength to start something new with
your pep talk. She sells Ereka Jusoph shawls and have another business that
sells tops, skirts etc. calls Colour Cycle Boutique.
So start beli kain, that was in December. Dari mula-mula nak
buat bisnes kecik – kecik je, modal pun really small, bila dah discuss with
family members, bende yang kecik, tudung biasa je, packaging pun ingat nak
plastic bag je terus jadi a proper business with our own design of hijab, with
our own label, our own brand, own company registered with SSM, our own
packaging. It has been almost 5 months now.
Some people yang dah experience boleh start bisnes dalam
sebulan. It took us 5 months because we wanted to cater to the public something
new and different, convenient and practical. For now kami start dengan semi-instant
with attached inner and mystery added features that will be revealed soon.
Eventually we will come up with design for instant hijab (yes we all need this)
and our own abayas. Ada cita-cita, ada harapan, ada impian.
I leave everything to Allah. Whether this venture will be
successful or not, I hope I did not go against His will. Bila dah buat
everything dan tak tahu apa lagi nak buat, doa doa doa doa. Everything happens
by the will of Allah.
