I wanted to say PRAISE GOD! With a heart filled with gratitude! As I am reading the book of Revelation - I realized just how great and awesome my Heavenly Father is yet He takes time to bless His child - ME! Being in business makes me held tightly to God like never before! It is a very unfamiliar, uncharted territory! Never been down this road so like a child I am following closely to my daddy in heaven!
I have always prayed - Dear Lord, please continue to bring customers from all over Malaysia & His answer is simply just marvelous! "Malaysia only my child? Too small a dream! Let's just say........... WORLDWIDE" (I can imagine His loving tone) Thank You Lord for your blessing! He never fail to prove to me when we hold on to Him and only Him, He gives and He blesses us with things our heart could never contain and couldn't think off! Over and abundant! Amen!
I was approached by my first overseas customer two weeks ago! He is from Germany! He wanted to buy not one bag BUT a lot of bags & a few wallets too! I am now waiting for his second payment as he in turn introduced me to his friends! I was a little worried about how to courier those items so far! Called up various courier companies as I wanted the most cost efficient one! DHL by far is the most expansive! I packed my items up in a box as light as possible and the weight : 1.25kgs! DHL offer me a price of MYR 522 (door to door) - the Customer Service personnel told me on the phone that it will be MYR 823 - I do not believe so I went to the psychical office to have them look through! Well MYR 522 is still that expansive though! The uncle in DHL even try to convience me that this is the best choice! He pulled out his files showing me people who courier CURRY POWDER to Italy! I mean Curry Powder that cost only MYR55 with the heavy courier fee of MYR 500! Sorry I am wiser than that! Doing business is all about cost efficiency! Even in life as well! What a wastage of money while three quarter of the world is in poverty rite!
Followed by UPS - MYR 459 (door to door) while Kangaroo & Sky-net & Nationwide with such names does not serve vicinity outside Malaysia - talking about naming yourself Sky-net & Nationwide while Kangaroo's slogan is "Your Worldwide Partner" Thank God at that time my sister is around, so the both of us rounded up the courier companies here in Johor and at the end thank God, Pos Malaysia is still the best option available.... I strongly think that despite the complaints that I read online! Well everything and everywhere there sure be someone who complains! Pos Malaysia offer me MYR 173 to sent the item through! I still make some extra from it! Thank God!
Once it was sent out with all the proper declaration done! I sigh with relieve BUT then it is always my way of doing business to check the tracking until it arrives at my customer's door! Suprisingly when the prayer goes up! Our worries come down! Papa said "He handle the rest!" The item arrived safely at my customer's door 5 days later! Amen! Wonderful! Praise be to God and by faith I claim "MORE TO COME PAPA"
