A Lesson Life Taught Me That Applies to Business.



Life itself is a great and lifetime teacher. You only learn if you are attentive in the school of life.

Life has taught me many lessons, both in joy and pain.

One of them is,

“Do not make hasty decisions base on your feelings or because of people.”

Wait, I will explain.


As a lady whose heart had been captured with sweet words, I said YES to him without thinking twice.

Of course, I was in love and other things do not matter - let me laugh a little - LOL.


We kept on with our love life until I began to face some issues in the relationship. The major one is lack of COMMUNICATION.


I was always the one who wanted to have meaningful conversations with him and ask questions.

And what about the days he left my messages unread! His excuses? Sorry, I was busy!


As an understanding lover, my response never exceed “I understand.”

But deep inside my heart, I was confused, why? Simply because that was not how we started.


Truthfully, the relationship was not laid on any solid foundation - it was laid majorly on what we both FELT for ourselves, which is NOT enough.

Entering a relationship because of “love” is NOT enough because love fades! It is just a bitter truth.

I mean, if love was enough, should there still be divorce today?


Personally, I said “yes” to him because I was in 100 level. I had heard advice like, “As long as you are in the university, you can get into a romantic relationship.”

I believed it without knowing the right action to take before saying YES or HOW to make the relationship thrive. I can say the same goes for him too… we were both NAIVE at love.


As time goes on, the act kept repeating itself and one thing led to another which made us broke up.


Same thing goes for a business - loving a particular business just because you heard you can skyrocket your financial life with it does not mean you should jump into action without doing your research.

Can you handle the consequences - whether positive or negative?


Even if you have a natural passion to help humanity with it, there is still a need to count the cost:

💡How you will run the business or how to make it thrive.

💡The possible challenges you might encounter and how to solve them.

💡What you can do differently… and more.

Or do you think it is the passion that will keep you going? No!

You must have effective strategies to run your business effectively too!


EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION is also a key part.
If you cannot communicate the value of your product or offer to your audience, your belief, challenges you have faced and how you overcame them, it would be hard for you to connect with them and for them to connect with you too - which can kill your business with time just like a relationship where both partners talk once in two weeks.

Quality relationship with people is important as well - you cannot do life alone.


As from today, think well and do your research before you go into any CAREER PATH.

I hope this helps!
