My lunch at Pikapita,KL.

My lunch at pikapita cafe

I dropped in for lunch at KL  and meet two SYT, my two nieces.  They are joint owners of the cafe. Business life is not so easy and I could start to see the strain on their faces.

I have the experience of investing a business long time ago. When a business open their door for business , there a cost to it just to breakeven. If the business closed for one day for any reason, the cost will be incurred and you have double the business the next day to breakeven. To be a business owner is never easy.

For those people who have been working for other people, they do not know how the business will affect them. At the end of the month, they do have to responsibility to pay the wages, rental and all the dues. The boss will  have to take care of all these problems.

For my two niece, they are very eager to do their business when they are working for other people but when they are into business, they will regret initially for all the trouble of doing a business. For business, it needs a different breed of people to do it. Not everybody can stand the hard work and stress.

It is almost a month now and everyday is a test for them. They will have doubts whether have make the right decision or not. All the hard work and stress and whether it is worth it or not.

It is like starting to do Yoga. All the stretching and pain at the  beginning . You start to feel that you are torturing yourself and other exercise easier. After more training , you will start to feel less pain and stress and you look forward to  the class and to improve yourself more. You body and mind gets stronger everyday and you start to enjoy yoga. This is the same process of doing a business.

Never give up and learn to control  your mind and  the response from your body. Tell yourself ,you want to do it and doing it right. Your inner demon will try to scare you and create fear in you. The question of giving up will keep poking at your weakness and making it stronger. Tell these negative thoughts to stop and go away. Enough is enough, Stop re-acting to it.

If you keep at it. You will get stronger by the day. You may not recognize it but it is surely getting stronger. It will surprise you how stronger you have become one day. That is the day you will be proud of.

Namaste
