Recently, I received an email from someone in this industry that was quite unhappy about why did I do my business that way and why you wanna enter this so call "territory" when Singapore market is already so small....." are u trying to snatch our rice bowl".
When I received this email, I was quite annoyed. After which I sat down and ponder how should I put my words.
I am flattered by his mail knowing that tailors seen me as a threat after a few months of entering in the business. To those tailors, I seen myself as a competitor of HUGO BOSS, RAOUL all the big brand names who
perceived quality value services as part of their core services. I don't wanna be competitors of small firms... BIG firm normally survive better in terms of inflation or say economies of scales... Small firms suffered.. I have the knowledge of running and managing a successful business and why should I think of compeition with small firms.. THINK BIG GROW BIG
To me a successful business is one like Donald Trump. Sir Richard
Brandson.. and not Mr Uncle
Mohammad that owns a small grocery, small roadside make-shift stall...
People like Mr Trump and Sir
Brandson, turning nothing to something is their meaning in life... and tats me.. my characteristic... Mr Uncle
Mohammad on the other hand,
jus wanna earn a few thousand per
mth and see meaning in life..
To those small operators, if u are reading my blog... Ask
yrself this will u become a
muti national company? or something like
Breadtalk having chain of outlets globally.. can U? If u don't have the
knowledge jus be Mr Mohammad stick with yr little stall.. Greater Power comes greater
Responsibilities... If Mr Trump were to fail now.. do u know the economic impact that his country have to
burden and how many will be jobless..DO U KNOW THAT? If a small vendor were to fail .. will the people of Singapore suffer with him .. ans NO.
It takes great leadership... to be successful... I congrats Taiwan for appointing a great leader as the President Mr Ma
Ying-
jeou. I see someone with great leadership & talents in him..
