Check out my Guestbook!

Thank you for visiting my blog! My name is Jamal and I live in Perak, Malaysia with my wife and 5 daughter. I’m a factory worker with 10 years experience in working with factory, and I absolutely love my kid!

While I love my job, it was only a matter of time before I realized it wasn’t going to be enough to cover the needs of my growing family. Besides, I’ve always wanted to start my own business but shied away because I had no formal business knowledge. I always thought I’d be a lousy business person, until I came across Strong Future International or SFI.

Now I’m a part-time entrepreneur, but in three years I plan to go full-time with this opportunity. In fact, I plan to send my daughters Syafiq and Syamira to college from my new source of income, and after 5 years I plan to start my own business. That way I can still see those lovely faces but this time around I’ll be the boss!

This blog is a little about my life, and a little about my journey in SFI. Here’s where I detail each step of my entrepreneurial career. When I first started this blog, I was making $20 a month in SFI, but as of December 2007 I’m maybe making a cool $1,500 every month. By 2010 I expect to make about $12,000 monthly.

How did I do it? Well it’s a long story and I doubt you can get everything from just one visit. So just click here for instructions on how to subscribe to my blog, and as time goes by you’ll be able to read my latest achievements and even participate and give me your opinions.

Starting a Small Business
So, you're thinking of starting your own business? Well, you're not alone. Last year thousands of
people across the United States decided to exercise their independence by creating their own small businesses. It's the American entrepreneurial dream to take a business idea from the concept,research and planning stages to the day when you open your door, hang out your shingle or go live online.
Whether your target market is the entire world or just your neighborhood, the U.S. Small Business Administration has valuable information to help turn your entrepreneurial dream into a thriving new business.New business owners often have the same concerns as new parents. Will I be successful? Who has done this before and can advise me? Where will I get the financing? What help is available, and how much will it cost? All those concerns seem to hit at once.
Most of those who succeed in starting their own businesses have planned for every phase of their success. Thomas Edison, the great American inventor, once said, "Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration." That same philosophy also applies to success in business.

To enhance your chances for success, first generate a little bit of that perspiration to eliminate the most common mistakes new business owners make. According to the experts, most novices should spend a great deal of time researching their potential businesses and the marketplace.
Developing a workable business plan can help smooth over the bumps in the road to your success.
