0.5 Million And Bad Eye Infection
What does 0.5 Million and bad eye infection have in common?… ok.. ok.. bad joke…
Bad joke aside, my total sales so far has reached 0.5 million (I purposely write 0.5 million instead of 500k, hopefully it seems like I am selling a lot!). So… 0.5 million in 8 months, that is LAME. Let me spell it for you.. L . A . M . E… lame. That means my average sales per month is less than 100k.
Enough said, now we move on to ‘bad eye infection’. The past 3-4 weeks I was not selling a cent!, none! ziltch!, nada! nil!, yilek!.. Why? well.. here is the ‘interesting’ part, I caught a very bad eye infection that made my left eye zombie red, it didn’t itched but it was watery. How can I zip around town meeting clients with infected eyes? no way!.. so I was stranded home for 2 weeks!. [this is excuse 1]
After I recovered, I spent about 1 week doing some mundane programming tasks for an old client. The programming part was easy but it requires focus and time. So I spent the entire week hammering the keyboard and I didn’t make any sales call at all. [this is excuse 2]
The fourth week, I attended some entrepreneur talks by cradle, and doing ’some research’ (ehem) online and pondering about the next big thing that I am about to invent (and get filthy rich in the process). [this is excuse 3]
The fifth week (I know I said 4 weeks earlier, but just read this dammit!), it is already puasa month and I was carried away with some programming work (personal project). When I caught the eye infection, I couldn’t go out, so I did some programming just for fun. I like what I did so far and I may just continue developing it. [this is excuse 4]
Wow!.. 4 excuses!. I think I am good at making excuses…, I can always come up with all sort of excuses for anything!. Now.. how do I make money out of this skill… hmm…
