5th Year 2015 Jason at 32 years old
I am a business man now. It had been three years since I stepped out as an entrepreneur and I never look back. Sometimes, I still feel the uncertainty as an entrepreneur, with tight cash flow and competition. However, I am at the control of my life, this gives me the tremendous satisfaction which working as an employee fails in comparison. Back then when I was an employee, I was always fearsome of the next promotion, pay increment, office politics, and job stability when I turn 40 years old. Now, I am the only person who can take away my job, determine my pay, and set the path that I engage on.
I am now working as a ship broker in my own firm. The company name is Jason Offshore Pte Ltd. I have one fellow colleague and one admin cum account assistant. My fellow colleague is in fact a working partner in my ship brokerage firm. Apart from my brokerage business, I have a joint venture in a marine deck stores company. The company name is Jason Marine Equipment Pte Ltd. I am looking into securing some long term deals with a few oil major companies and if those charter parties are signed, I will go into the market and procure vessels to feed the deal. I need to calculate the ROI and the financing factor.
The money that I make from the ship brokerage firm and the marine equipment companies are bringing in S$100,000 per month. However I truly desire to become a ship owner is my life time dream and I will look forward to the day of stepping on my own vessel. I hop onto my BMW Z4 and zoom down the road back to Tembeling Courts in Joo Chiat.
The door opens at my apartment and I am welcomed by my wife who was the pillar of my life. I thank her for the understanding and the support that she has shown me. She is holding our new born and this is the inspiration of life. They are the reason why I need to work hard for.
