New doors?

Im excited beyond words so i need to let go and let it out.
Sherman called to tell me that distribution partnership is definitely possible and they are also interested in taking an equity position - just that the price is too expansive. Nonetheless, at least they are interested!!
Ive been praying about it - partially cos i want it, partially hoping that this is God's manna from haven. But then again i need to remember that regardless whether God opens or closes the doors, its for the benefit of us. At the moment im just thrilled. like super. Never felt any partner has more synergy than this.
I realised, when I dont work, God does. All i need to do when uncertain / insecure / helpless, is to pray. Recently God answers instantly to my prayers, even small things like helping Ely stop crying, help stabilise the plane, etc.. what am i to do without God. His hand is in everything. I can only feel blessed and just. so. blessed.
Caleb said Apex is keen to take also.. its just. Amazing.

I know this is not a milestone.. and nothing is inked at this moment. But i just cant help but to feel that the journey has been long.. and because of the people around me who has been helping me, opportunities are opening up.

God, can i stop and take this time to thank you. thank you for being with me every single step of the way.. even when there are times I dunno how to move forward, u never let me give up. i'm thankful. and so blessed. I hope that I can bless the people around me and let your love for us shine through.

Blessed with connections

so Faith did not happen. But I believe God has a better plan for me.

Anyway, siu rui introduce this guy called Sherman to me. And he's interested in bringing Singaporean products global. His partner is one of the kuok family son.. and they have global distribution arm which is super exciting. Sherman is a guy whose words are soft but super weighty. I'm so inspired and impressed. If Rui didn't tell me his background, would I still have thought the same?
I guess it all boils down to being humble. And that's what I really lack. I feel that people don't want to hear what I say hence I say it fast, and it loses weight. So much to learn about and all these I can only pray for Gods wisdom and favour.

I do hope things will go well, and the best case, an investment cos it's super aligned and strategic.
But as with everything, God knows best and I'm sure today's meeting wasn't a coincidence, it was all planned. But for what purpose, I'll have to wait and see. Nonetheless I'm super thankful and blessed to have people around me blessing me with their networks. Smth I can never work to earn..

Truly blessed.

Notes on hiring

the irony that I pen my last post on Tricia and today I felt betrayed. But I think this is actually common. I can expect the same responsibilities ownership in others. Anyway, leanings:
- have a contract (to deter them from temptations)
- trust my gut. Tricia was concerned with money and that made her leave.

Thoughts on Faith:
- good presenter but might be lazy (let me debunk it)
- wants flexible time (does that affect company?)
- a bit on the proud side (test my gut?)
- giving part time a shot - will it work out?
- did not really pass my 'in the room with her' test / may not clique with team. Let me find that out.

We'll revisit in 2-3 months time


Anyway. Invest in myself and invest in my future.
Invest in relationships.
