I began my humble career journey as an Auditor for one and a half years. It was a natural choice as I studied Accountancy.
Yet, no matter how hard I worked, my pay increment and promotion were slow. I was quick to realise that this career path would not be able to fulfil what I wanted to achieve in life before 30 years old:
- Own a car
- Start a family
- Finance my own house
I asked myself one question. "Why continue in a job that would not be able to fulfil my aspirations in 5 years no matter how hard I work?" I always believe in the importance of how we spend the 10 years of our life (Between 20-30years old, when we still do not have any commitments), and I no longer wanted to waste my youth away.
Inspired by the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, I knew I would be trapped in a 'Rat Race' forever if I did not get out of that corporate job fast.
The spark to know more about a Career in Prudential came from a fellow auditing colleague. Honestly speaking, joining Prudential never crossed my mind when I was young but being open-minded, I thought that there was no harm in finding out more. I submitted my resume and soon after, I was called up for an interview.
Just like any new business start-up, there were concerns: Lack of sales experience, Limited network, No stability in pay, "Friends" might avoid you, "Challenging" industry. However, this was an opportunity that I could potentially achieve what I wanted. I did what most would not have dared - Got out of my comfort zone and took the Leap of Faith!
"You have no idea what you are capable of until you give it a shot."
Planning the Financial Portfolio of my clients and Mentoring Individuals who believe in me are core aspects of my business that I enjoy. With Hard Work, Perseverance, Willingness to Change, Positive Attitude, Strong Mentality to handle countless rejections, fueled by my huge Ambition to have a Team whom I can guide and help to get out of the Rat Race, I achieved what I set out to do before 30. My Career Advancement Track Record - In 5 years, being promoted every single year till I reached my Directorship, is a testament to my abilities.
If you are keen to find out more about being an Entrepreneur, or you are just not satisfied with what you are doing, it is time we go for a cup of coffee. :)
