Week 9: Stuck again, Trial and Error, don't Give up

Posted by Han Fei

Huh? What should we do? Why aren’t they approving our letters and requests?

It was a rather running week, where our people had to run here and there to ask for the right format to write approval letters. What I learned this week was that we should had prepare much earlier and we had lot of TRIAL AND ERROR time, where we had to redo and redo and redo again and again and re-planned about our business activities, which in turn caused delay to our real initiation of our business activities, such as promotion and stuff like that.

Many things we had to redo, re-set, re-plan, re-think, one of them was the seminar pricing. This whole pricing thing was considered a little overrated in sense that it provides no certificate and the initial seminar draft was modified to suit our speaker, En. Amran Ahmad’s request. Tiring, huh?

Maybe we should have asked someone who had the experience of organizing a seminar, huh?

Eeek! Wrong! We asked, but it seemed that our former batch of IT Entrepreneur student friends, did those Format laptop seminar without any legal permission, they just rent a hall, spread the word and voila! Their business is huge and success…I think…

But circumstances for us, today, were way different. Ours wasn’t just some seminar for format laptops, ours tried to encourage people to know Linux, which proves to be the downside of this business, compare with the format laptop. The benefits weren’t apparent, and thus we had to shorten the fore sight benefits by providing Certificates of Attendance, and some materialistic goodies.

Oh well, what’s done, done, and here we were, still on our tedious way towards fulfilling our business activities: Promotion and seminar pre-requisite.

Well, then, next stop, week 10: Promotion is hard work.
