Business as Mission

It has been 12 days since I returned from my missions trip in Myanmar. What pushed me for this trip is the encounter with this amazing guy, whom just knew how to dig out the X-factor from people. After hearing my life stories, he pushed me to book my missions trip in Myanmar. After praying about it, and receiving 3 signs, I booked the tickets and headed off to Myanmar to see what I can do for the kids.

The 3 days in Myanmarhas been one of the most unforgettable experience for me. It brought out the WHY I do what I do. As I saw how the kids worshipped, something in my heart stirred. I started realising how pure and innocent they are are filled with such a thirst and fire for God.

Their Passion and fire for God stirs one’s heart

So i was tasked to conduct a workshop for the kids -> Unleashing your life’s dream and how to be an entrepreneur. One of the boys came up to me and say that he wanted to build his own business because by building his own business, he can help many of the orphans around him. Woww! he is already not having enough to sustain himself but yet he is already thinking for others. I felt completely ashamed with my daily whines about how tough entrepreneurship is and how hard I have to work. The challenges I face is really nothing in comparison to them.

Look at how attentive they are.

Building a tech company with zero tech background is super tough! But seeing how technology and education can help these kids to leapfrog make their own income and reach out to a bigger markets really makes all the hard work worthwhile.

The best way to help any entrepreneur wannabe, or companies is by helping in their sales. Neither my sales automation product / myself is perfect yet, we are still a work in progress, but we will keep striving to be better as I believe our solution (tech plus digital transformation training) could help them unleash their entrepreneurial dreams. Envisioning this, brought a smile and joy to me. Working this chilly Friday night has a different meaning now.
