Full Time or Part Time Business?

-->

People always ask whether they should do Online Business Full Time or Part Time. Well, both have it own pros and cons.

Let take your situation:

Still young/study:
Eventhough you can make almost 5 digits now and you are comfort with your earning, doesn’t mean by not continue study or stop study (diploma, degree), your business can sustain or grow forever. Business always have up and down. Today, its your day, and maybe tomorrow its rainy day for you. So why must stop or not continue study?

Btw, by taking degree can open your mind bigger compare what you have now.

Some young “Internet Marketer” claim that without further his study and still 17 years old, he can earn 5 digits income every month. Well, congrats!! But, if you didn’t further your study, you still one step of those people who dare to challenge themselves to gain the degree/master etc.

Below example is from Rahsia10K. (I think I’m the only person who dare to critics them; sorry no offense, just want to express what I think, based on my experience)

Tahukah anda pendapatan Januari saya ialah RM10 ribu ringgit? Ya, budak hingusan yang mendapat pendapatan 5 angka hanya dari meja study. Pendapatan yang belum pasti bagi segelintir orang walaupun mereka mempunyai ijazah!

Does your RM10K is what you gain every month? Or is it just once a while? If you earn 5 digits every month, you are brilliant! But if not, people who working outside there and do part time online business is much better than you even though their online business profits is not high as you!

Why I said so?

1. They getting paid for their salary 4 to 5 digits everymonth. Let’s take RM3000 per month.
In 1 year, they earn RM36,000 (base income)
Bonus, let’s take min 2 month contractual per year; RM6,000
Other claims, allowance 12,000 per year.
Also with medical claim and insurance.
And lot’s more benefits.

Do you get all this from own online business? What going to happen if you have accident and need large amount of money and you can afford it? How you going to do? Setup a website to ask for donation? (No offense, I just want to give you how to look in difference perspective in our life)

What you do to earn that are:
- Write and sell ebook (What if in the ebook that you sell, you teach people to write ebook to generate income, yet they don’t have talent to write ebook as you do.)
Btw, you are not a millionaire yet. Unless you are one, then my explaination here is useless.

Setelah kehidupan di rumah membosankan dan saya rasa perlu untuk melepaskan stress akhirnya saya telah pergi bercuti bersama rakan-rakan. Kami adakan BBQ dan mengeratkan lagi silaturahim. Namun, apa yang saya ingin katakan di sini ialah bukannya keindahan tempah yang saya pergi bercuti tetapi pendapatan saya tetap masuk walaupun saya telah pergi bercuti tanpa perlu berada di hadapan komputer! Beginilah kehidupan usahawan Internet :)

Just by having a BBQ and going holiday with friends is not a big deal. I’ve been in the business whereby money works while I’m sleep, and I travel overseas (having a nice vacations, treat as VVIP) and that also a good life compare to what you have now!

What about suddenly you business collapse? Do you have qualification to work outside? Infact, people who holding degree nowadays hard to find job and need to take professional certificate in order to compete with other graduate.

It’s not a secret anymore on how to make money on Internet! If you can write a good ebook with good title, you will make money of it. So the real secret is “Write and Sell”. People who buy your ebook actually want to know the secret but they forgot that your secret is by write and sell.

Does this true?
RM67 per book, you need 100 people to make RM6700. right?

Working:
Same goes here, even though you making a lot of money every month, by working you can have experience on how to deal with others, work in a team and gain a lot of experience that people who don’t work have. And you can prove, that you can be somebody in that organizations.
Why don’t you take a challenge by working with big organization (MNC) and push your self to the limit, and see how can you go in the organizations (your leadership, position, influence and etc).

Yes you can quit working when you feel that you already achieve what you want in real job and when money is not an issue anymore.

So hope, you can make a right choice. And for team flarebiz, no offense, just your sales letter is “kurang senang dibaca” since I started to do business since I’m at University, and I’m a graduate, a degree holder and working with other company “as to kayakan diaorg”, but hey, I still doing my business part time! :)

How you look at your self differently is more important. It’s like you go to oversea, when you see other people culture, place, your mind will grow bigger. Maybe you think before this, Malaysia is great, but once you at other peopel country, you mind will think other way. Same goes here with experience that you gain from futher your study in diploma, degree, master, phd and others.

I can’t say that I’m a better person compare to my friends Azmir who had master or Hazarul who have phd. :) since I don’t dare to challenge myself to further study (because of it stress, etc). So, if you just SPM level, your mind didn’t same as degree, master, phd holder people had and way they think. But it will change if you keep learn, and associate with success people.

And same goes to working experience. :) sama je la. wat penat je mau tulis. :)

Good luck to all!
