Sometime last week, I suddenly had a new business idea and so I sought out the godly counsel of 3 friends and 2 of them were for it. So, my focus for the next few weeks will probably be on doing research, budgeting, etc. When the new business idea came to me out of the blue, one of my thoughts was how I could help people who live in the neighbouring poor countries through my business. Even though I have never thought of doing this business before, I believe that it could be a stepping stone to other business ventures that I am keen to go into.

It just suddenly dawned on me that maybe God wants me to launch an e-magazine business rather than a print magazine business. Hmmm...hopefully, I am wrong. Personally, I would prefer a print magazine business. I like the feeling of being able to hold the magazines in my hands. :) Of course, I understand that e-magazines may be able to reach a bigger readership. An e-magazine business, to me, is also cheaper to run both in the short term as well as in the long term. Nevertheless, my personal preference is still to own and run a print magazine business. :)

When I start my own business, integrity will be one essential quality that I look for (expect to see) in the people that I employ. A person who lacks experience or the necessary skills can be trained. However, a person who lacks integrity is nearly impossible (or totally impossible) to change unless God intervenes.

Women are generally gifted with sixth sense. Thank God that I am a woman and that I have sharp sixth sense. Having sixth sense, to me, is essential in business and in judging the character of a person.

Incidentally, while I was chatting with a cab driver this afternoon, he suddenly said something to the effect that I'll be a good businesswoman (in the business sense) even though we did not touch on the topic of business at all. Hmmm...maybe it's a confirmation from God or a revelation from Him???
