Not long back, I found myself in a career crossroad. After building a decent career in Sales, Training and Service Quality profession for 23 years, the Financial Institution that I worked for announced downsizing.
What was truly baffling for my family and friends to understand was, with only 2 person in the entire business unit that the company wished to keep, why did I turned down my precious offer to be reassign?
Till this day, I don’t really have a clear answer. It could be ego, or me just wanting a change in scenery, I can’t tell for certain. But the urge to come out and start a business venture has some influence over my decision.
So at the age of 40, I started a new chapter in my life.
On the personal front, nothing has changed. I am still an early riser; I am still hitting the gym and the swimming pool every weekday at 5am (and I am proud to share that my routine has entered the fourth year now). And I am still fetching my wife to work and also monitoring my kid’s progress in their schoolwork…very much the same duties that a regular father and husband would participate in. |
