Looking for right business partner

It's about time to split my business mind to another person. Not that I get tired with my own business, but I really need someone's opinion. Other's creative thinking about how to increase our sales, managed the business passionately as much as I can. The 'one' that I can share and talk 100% about business.

Husband. Yup I do have a husband. My life partner. But I never seen him as my business partner since I started this business last year. His own work matters was never ending story. As a project manager I can't even talk about my business in our daily life. We do have different kind of thinking. Different kind of conversation. Even tho he's the one who gave me the capital for this business. But I guess he never interested in business. He was like a potential investor who never interested being a business partner.

*Sigh*

How to find the right partner?

Though I enjoyed doing the business alone, which I can make own decision, use our business money sesuka hati, but in the end I still need to discuss, talk, and have a serious meeting with someone called business partner. You can't be 'syok sendiri' in business line right?

A good friend? Acquaintance? Co-worker? Sub-ordinate? Family? Would or would not make a good business partner? He/ she obviously will effect my livelihood and also I will spend more time with him or her more than I spend time with my spouse!

I would love to have someone who have high standard (business thinking) and good energy that will allowed us to conquer the world together. A very high expectation in what are we going to give (the best) to our customers even we need to work until late night without any complaining. Yup.. This is what I can see now at my business area. Staffs will start complaining about how difficult their task is. How much will they earn if they work overtime.

Honestly, I am not the one who likes to fight with others (except husband). I will rather being silence and fired them once they out of control. I have too much ideas in my mind but to analyze everything I will get exhausted and become sleepy head. In the end, I will stand still in the same spot. No movement. No changes.

But rather than serious criteria that I'm looking for, I will pick someone that I can have fun more than anything. Work is serious. But when it come to play part, I will choose to be fun.

We are going to spend more time at fabric factory. Went oversea trip together. Arghh..

Happiness is fun. Work is fun. Challenge is fun. Pray is fun. In the end, I will pick my business partner rather than my spouse. Ok.. Just kidding.

Now, let's start hunting. Let's move on. Let's have started!

Random thoughts on weekend

I was browsing some information regarding Business Sales Analyst through Google.

Marked 9 months of my Butik Roses business since last August we've started offline business.

It was not easy as we thought it is. We have been convinced by previous boutique owner that the sales will incredibly high as KLCC tower, but in the end only God knows how much we earn monthly if we only rely on boutique sales.

Yes we had non-stoppable made-to-order customer, but to be frank I will blame the Giant location itself. I mean. If I can give you a picture of the current situation at Giant Hypermarket now, you will understand why our sales never achieved our target every month.

Everybody knows that the location of our Giant is isolated from congested area. We are in haunted area. Where only nearest area of this Giant that can only afford to come and buy groceries here. They won't come here for leisure. It's kind of emergency exit whenever you need something ASAP.

Sigh.

But thank God I'm willing to learn how to increase the sales. We are tying harder to sell everything through online too. Like the old days story. Bla bla bla..

I take this as a challenge tho.  I'm just started with little capital. And I just have to learn and try harder. There won't be a shortcut to become rich and happy ever after. Waaaaaaa

Our latest product. Jubah or Abaya in duchess satin material. Luxe and of course covers Aurah 100%

But after handling this business alone for the past 8 months, I believed that there are few things that I have to trust and apply in order to achieve sales target every months.

No 1 - Never forget Allah S.W.T. Allah is always number 1 for me. The more you make Du'a to Him, the more He listened to you, the more He will help you. InsyaAllah. 

Never leave Solat Sunat Dhuha in your daily basis. Yup. I just started with the Solat Sunat Dhuha. The power of it? MasyaAllah. It was un-spokeable. I was shocked with the outcome. Alhamdulillah Ya Allah.

No 2 - Never make excuses in everything you did. 

Lazy. Tired. Negative thinking. These are all the poison for your failure. Plus, if you are the owner of the business, avoid all those bad attitude. Yup. There will be a day you become lazy. You became so tired and you can also avoid all negative thinking. But, please give a very deep thinking what will happen if you fall into all those bad habit? You won't get any advantages. In the end you are the one who hurt. 

No 3 - Customer always right

There's a situation in our boutique last week. Which is I think it is too hard to accept. Fussy customer. Yup. There are a lot of fussy customer in this world. We are as always trying our best to best giving our services without fail. But Allah knows best. There won't be any hardship that Nabi Muhammad S.A.W people can't avoid. There will be one. At least one. You can;t be happy all the time right?

I always stick to customer always right. Because with that quote, I know that I can avoid fights, greed and dissatisfaction between my staff and customer. Indeed. when it happens, Sabar or patient is the only cure for us as a seller.

Allahuabar. Actually there's a lot. But, I need to go somewhere. I have to do a lot of things today as one of my staff are day off.

InsyaAllah. I will come back and write about my journey to the business world. 

Even tho deep in my heart I always missing the safety boot. Safety helmet and safety vest. Allahuakbar. 

Till then guys.  

Assalamualaikum.
