I meant for this episode to be aired last Tuesday, but I guess God had other plans for me when I lost my voice In today's episode, I answer the one question I get asked a lot about leaving your job to start a business Having a full-time job isn't a crime nor something to be embarrassed about. Planning to leave your 9-to-5 to start your business shouldn't be that difficult either I talk about the 3 things you must do before leaving your job to start your business β basically things that I wish someone would have told me earlier on in my entrepreneurial journey. So, you lucky ladies will get to hear this on @FempreneurSecrets Podcast.

In life, there will always be people who don't believe in you and your vision. Don't let that dishearten you because you do you, lovely. Care not what people think or say about you. As long as you're true to your own personal moral compass that directs your business and life, no one else can tell you you aren't worth it. Keep your game on and strong because you have the power in you to create change in the world. Believe in yourself and be true to you. If you don't, no one else will. #FempreneurSecrets . . . . #Fempreneurship #GirlBossTips #Fempreneurs #femalebusinessowners #thebossbabessociete #bosschic #mycreativecommunity #smallbusinessmarketing #bossbabe #bossbabes #businessbabe #dreamingbig #girlboss #getsocial #growth #exposure

BRAIN DUMP kept me sane When I dropped out of school following the death anniversary of my father, doing a brain dump helped me focus on the things that mattered I focused my energy on developing a business that would help live up to my dad's legacy. There was a period of time when I had tonnes of ideas but didn't know where to begin I sat down, took a paper and told myself to write every single thing on my mind - happy, sad, ideas everything Doing this calmed me down and helped me realise that I had so much potential. I narrowed down the ideas into 2 key focus that would be the center of what I do today: legacy and education When I put the 2 together, I find myself in a place that brings me joy. Brain dump helped me create @fempreneursecrets, only I didn't know it yet then. Your support to listen in to my heart and soul every Tuesday means a lot to me. Thank you for your support, and continue tuning in to @fempreneursecrets on @spotify #FempreneurSecrets

If there's anything I've learnt over the past 8 years running my own business, it's that nothing ever comes easy. I recalled the CNA interview with @annahaotanto where she said that she had hoped any entrepreneur would have told her that entrepreneurship is hard work. Being an entrepreneur means you'd have to sacrifice so much sleep, vacation time and even time with loved ones. It also means that you'd have to see your hard earned money go out into your business; sometimes, that money just won't circle back. I have lost $5000 in hard earned money, over a bad investment decision. I have seen the collaborator I trusted, rip the idea I proposed. I have been on the receiving end of verbal attacks and abuse from clients from hell. My ladies, no one will tell you the shizz and the struggles of being an entrepreneur. Everyone wants to look perfect to the world - I mean, who doesn't right? That's why I created #FempreneurSecrets, because I believe its secrets like these that is worth sharing. Its mistakes and struggles like these that are worth learning from. Finally, there's truth in the running businesses. These episodes were created just for you, my loyal business babes. I know you're struggling, and all you need is that acknowledgement or even clarification of where you're headed.

It's been a year since our magical trip to Bosnia. Growing up, I only knew about the scary tales my parents would tell me when we don't finish our food. The kids in Bosnia have nothing to eat. Why aren't you finishing yours? That's the most amazing thing about traveling. It broadens your horizon and opens up perspectives. Travelling with @alchemyoftravel to long-haul, exotic, destinations is something I've always enjoyed. The trips are always meaningful if you come with the right mindset. Bosnia changed me, and the way I looked at life. And memories of being there still reminds me of the great blessings in life. I miss you, Bosnia. #FempreneurSecrets

We knew we had a huge challenge when it comes to rebranding and revamping @mapletreehousecom website. They have a huge inventory and there's a lot of categories. In order for the site to function well, we need to totally understand the buyer persona. With constant brainstorming sessions with their owner, we were able to understand the buyers better. Our strategy: We built a simple navigation bar for the buyers. Simple to navigate when there's a few things to focus on. Sales skyrocketted on the launch day, with a high number of buyers coming from the navigation bar alone. Flow of customers remains consistent days after launch until today. You'd love working with a Shopify Partner like us at Blissful.Asia. We are happy to support your objectives, be it revenue maximization or even higher average order value. Strategize with us today! #BlissfulAsia #Branding

BRANDED: Maple Treehouse When the owners of @mapletreehousecom approached us for a rebranding, we were so excited! I mean, I love scrapbooking and have always looked up to them since I began my scrapbooking journey. We worked for close to 5 months together to perfect the brand strategy, positioning, collaterals and an updated Shopify Store. On the 31st of August, the new look was unveiled. We're so proud to be part of this journey with Mapletree House. Over the course of the next few posts, I will be sharing more on the thoughts behind the rebrand. Stay tuned! P.S. If you enjoy scrapbooking as much as I do, you can go over to Mapletreehouse.com and shop at almost wholesale prices (: #FempreneurSecrets #BlissfulAsia . . . . . #bossbabe #bossbabes #businessbabe #dreamingbig #girlboss #getsocial #socialmedia #socialmediastrategist #socialmediamanager#socialmediamarketing #growth #exposure #socialmediatips #socialmediastrategy #instatip #instagrammarketing #instagramtips#instabossmob #instantbossclub

Everyone has a dream. Everyone hopes for something to big to happen in their lives My hope is to see more women and children across the globe have undenied access to education There's still so many women and children who have been denied education because of their gender.

KNOW YOUR WHY I was spending some time realigning my purpose these couple weeks. It's never easy to do legit self-reflection. I can ask myself What makes you special? and can stare at a blank paper for hours. Once I understood my WHY it became clearer for me. Why Allah guided me to meet amazing people that challenge and make me stronger; why He made me go through all those experiences. Then, this struck me. Lovelies, the journey you go through in life isn't a coincidence. You're meant to take that path towards becoming who you are today. The journey and experiences you went through are solely unique to you. Stories of people's lives may sound familiar to yours, but they are never identical. That is what makes you special. Dive deep into your heart and identify your why. Why are you here on Earth? Why are you doing what you do? Why those steps you took led you to these outcomes? Once you've identified your why, your whole world becomes easier to maneuver. You'll no longer be feeling like a hot mess, coz babe, you've totally got it together. Best of luck in identifying your why. And if you'd like to have someone do it with you and kick your butt every once in awhile, I'll be happy to coach you DM me now to get your Purpose Clarity Session.

When it comes to perfection, I can relate. I have been stuck in the need to be perfect since I was 8, and that trully hasn't done me any good. You see, I have a theory. I don't know if it already exists, but this is one theory I came up with. When you try to be perfect, you'll be stuck in the Paradox of Perfection. You work on one thing, attempt to make it perfect. But it's never perfect. Then, you keep amending and amending but never launch. Don't let perfection be the hindrance to your success. Launch a minimum viable product, then tweak as you go along. You have it in you to get started. So, just get started! #FempreneurSecrets

It is nice to see a fellow #fempreneur who appreciates and knows where her hard work has brought her but NEVER stopped from improving. If there is one thing I've learned is to never stop moving forward. Not because we have reach, our maybe year-end, goal we have to stop from trying to achieve more. The world is constantly changing and we have to keep up. #fempreneursecrets #improveeveryday . . . . . #motivation #mindset #entrepreneurlife #entrepreneursofinstagram #entrepreneurlifestyle #businessowner #success #savvybusinessowner #womeninbusiness

I did not find love overnight. I embraced my being, and let my personality shine. I laid down my expectations of myself and that of my future partner. When I was ready, this man appeared in my life. He was nothing like I had expected of a man to marry. But he fulfilled the most important criteria: ability to support me and guide me. Right after a month of dating with @azamirul, my dad passed on. Having lost the breadwinner to my family, I was aimless. I didn't know what to do with my life. He entered my life just a month before my Dad's passing. As I grieved, He granted patience in @azamirul to support me in my life. Amirul would always be there for me, and be supportive of my endeavors. Allah definitely had great plans for us, ensuring that @azamirul was reconnected into my life before I had to face my struggles alone. Allah blessed me with support from this man, when I was at my lowest point in my life. There's always a storm before a rainbow. And at the end of that rainbow is a pot of gold. Stay positive, stay steadfast and be grateful of your trials. Only when you're grateful will you truly understand the beauty of your challenges. Believe that your trials are temporary, and you'll survive them. Remember that every trial is presented upon you only because God believes you can overcome them. I believe that you are a survivor. And you will make it in life. No matter what you're going through, no matter your struggles. Always believe. Have faith.

There are just times when you think you're not capable for great things. Those are just brief moments of doubt that you should just chuck away. There are many times when I doubt myself. About 5 years ago, I told myself that I'm not able to survive the way I did. I was just tired of the way I was living in. I no longer want to live from hostel to hostel. I didn't want to beg for people's sympathy. I wanted to create change, and I wanted to do it on my own. One person in particular gave me the confidence to do just that. She said I have faith that you will make it. I believe in you. That person, was my mother. Fast forward to today, if I had dwelled on my misery then, I wouldn't be where I am today. I wouldn't have experienced filming in Bosnia, traveling regularly to visit exotic places, or working with notable brands like ERA, IHS Markit, Nat Geo and many more. You, my lovely, are meant to do so much great things. Don't ever allow one person's negativity cloud you with self-doubt. Let that self-doubt remain temporary, and your determination to carry on be the permanent motivation. I believe in you! #FempreneurSecrets . . . . . #entrepreneur #business #success #entrepreneurlife #struggles #mind #realization #motivation #lifestyle #womeninbusiness #girlboss #ladyboss #bossbabe #womensupportingwomen #beingboss #calledtobecreative #womenwhohustle

When I was starting out, not many people believed in me. Some thought I was crazy to not want to have a full-time job. They thought giving up stability and security is just dumb These people here are my friends who believed in me. Every single business I started, they were there to support. When I first began my entrepreneurship journey, they'd be there to support my presence at booths and buy the little things I make When I went all out with @blissfulstudiossg, they were supportive too. They'd make connections, even if they weren't always able to purchase a service. They'd think of how else they can help even if it's not through purchase That's the thing about support. It's not about the purchases, but about the willingness to go the extra mile to make a connection. With just one small spark, someone's dreams can become a reality Thank you lovelies for your support

As a couple, we have our own personality. We know each other well enough to wear almost-matching outfits despite being separated initially I picked pink because I knew he would choose red. He chose red, because he knew I'd choose pink You just know. That is love (and the result of being inseparable) πΈ: @96niji #FempreneurSecrets #hudazamtravels . . . . . #wanderlust #travelgram #adventure #instatravel #explore #tokyo #japan #travelphotography #travel #traveljapan #iamatraveler #welivetoexplore #theglobewanderer #travel #instatraveller
