SUCCESS IS MY DREAM
Success is very elusive. Not many have succeeded. But there are few businessmen who able to reach their dream. Their extraordinary achievements made us envy. Their life stories made an example for those who will try to follow their footsteps.
Most of us has our own ambition because we wanted for changes in our life. We wanted self-satisfaction and fulfillment of what we accomplished and what we can do more. Our desire to do something for our progress is the starting point to reach that goal.
Mr. Sia is a poor Chinese resident in the city living only in a small house. But being poor was not a hindrance to him to start a small business. He started from scratch. What he did was to buy empty bottles of all sizes. This empty bottles came from liquors, wines, soy sauce and other bottles that can be sold. It was a very simple business but it profit. The supply of the bottles are many. Although the demand is minimal but buyers are ready to buy in volume. This bottles are being recycled and put into use again. He started shipping 30 sacks via loose cargo for Cebu. then later on the volume of his shipment is increasing until it reaches to 200 sacks enough for a 10-footer van.
He hired helpers to do the collection from residents in the city and surrounding barrios and bought it with very less price. He even joined in the collection by using push cart made of wood with wheels.
Many years had passed, the same business he continued that changed his life. With this success he constructed a 2-storey building, owning some vehicles used in his business. He started another business of consumer products and other business he believed it will profit. His dedication to his work, his honesty to do things even how small is enough for him. He has no desire at the start for a quick profit. What he had in mind is to continue and then see the result. He had a positive attitude toward his ambition to grow even in small way. And all his efforts paid off. He became rich and helped his children to have business of their own.
Dennis is a man of many talents. He started using his skills by making carving methods applying a different style. This novelty is his starting point to changed his life. He is a college drop-out because of hardship in finishing his studies. He utilized his spare time to do things he like most... carving. All his items design is made beautifully. He just keep on making something that came into his mind, doing many design creatively. He did few innovation to some of the items to further improve its style.
He displayed all his craft in a small area in their house in the city proper visible to many people that pass by. He started making design by using shells, metals and bamboos. He procured materials like bamboos in the next town where it was available. His resourcefulness paid off.when his display earned him money. The people who passed by were amazed by his design and bought it for their home decoration. The demand started to rise slowly but he did not mind it because his only obsession is to create something useful.
Then a good fortune arrived without him expecting it. Three tourists passed by in his display area. They were vacationing. Seeing his works convinced them that they are beautifully made. Many designs caught their attention. They talked to Dennis. He did not know at first that this tourists are businessmen in their country until they informed him. They made arrangement to buy all available supply he had for shipment to their country and entered into a partnership to supply more all his products..
They offered Dennis financial assistance as loan in the form of funding in order for him to increase production. He was advised to have a production area, hire people, buy necessary equipment for carving rather than doing it manually. He has to rent an area with more space so that the production line is more comfortable to the workers.
This wonderful opportunity knocks once in our lifetime. Dennis did not hesitate to accept the offer he find very tempting, reasonable and convincing. Making a temporary agreement in writtem form, they agreed. The first funding arrived online to his account after 2 weeks when they went home. It was a substantial amount to start his business. After a month of preparation, he started the production. Throwing all his energy, working day and night to hit the required quota. He arranged with the shipping line for the shipment using a 10-footer van. His first shipment was realized after 3 weeks of efforts. A representative of the tourists talked to him and let him signed a permanent agreement for a long term committment and partnership that made him one of the successful businessmen. His dream for success was realized. He became rich and able to pay slowly his loan.
