I challenged myself to complete writing a novel from scratch in one month’s time. And this is my journey.

A year ago I wrote an article on why every freelancer should have a website where I shared the 5 top reasons why I decided to have an online portfolio as a fulltime freelancer. One year later, my principle has not changed. In fact, I believe that the importance of online presence is an element that every business owner should embrace. Why? Because this time, my online portfolio brings in almost 90% of my clientele with at least 2 to 3 enquiries a week, that’s a total of 12 enquiries a month. How do I do it?

It was an honour to be featured as one of the INspiring personalities in QuaChee’s blog in his new blog series: What’s Your (INspiring) Story. Here’s the story I shared with his blog readers. And now, here’s where I share it with you.

If you have a grand idea but you don’t do anything about it, at the end of the day, it’s just a grand idea. Nothing more.

You have to first believe in yourself before others can believe in you. Because if you don’t have faith in the things you do, how do you expect others to place their faith in your hands?

Do you dream big, or are you afraid to dream at all? If you are dreaming, may I encourage you to dream BIG and make it even BIGGER!

Grow as a person when you need to. Don’t hold back because of the crowd in your life. Everyone needs to grow every single day; and growth bring changes. Only true friends will stand by you in the midst of your growing stage to be a better person for tomorrow.

The fact that I spend a lot of my time dazing into space and daydreaming used to disturb me because in the eyes of the world, a girl who daydreams is a girl who achieve less. And I can’t afford to achieve less. Every one of us was born to be achievers and none of us can afford to achieve less than what we were created for.
