Over the last two days something urgent and unexpected came up in the course of doing business. Each day I was dragged away for a good half a day to the same place to deal with some matters and in the course of that, learned some new experiences. Not to mention it came with an exorbitant fee. But as some new acquaintance I met while settling the matters put it, it should be treated as “tuition fees”.
Putting it that way, I didn’t feel so bad paying the fees. It was a good learning experience and I suppose many people do learn from rookie mistakes in their own businesses one way or another, and then they get better after learning the hard way.
So far it’s been a great journey learning the ropes of handling a business, from A to Z. I never would have been able to learn as much if I were still employed by a company. I would never be learning about applying for business insurance, calling on all sorts of people and just talking to them as if we were friends, gaining little bits of insights on how the nitty gritty of some must-have business processes. My learning curve has thus far been a lot sharper than the decade I’ve worked!
Would I want to take the old path taken now that I’ve been on this new one? Doesn’t look like it will happen
