After a year from unemployment, I had noticed that I have done quite substantially much. It is worth reflecting what I have achieved since September 2010.
It started with successfully registering F&O Logistics as a legitimate business in September 2010. Then opened a business account. Our first customer was in September 2010. It was the beginning of what would be a life enhancing opportunity. In October 2010, I got a job which proved to be a blush saver to my assets. The same week (I got the job), my wife gave birth to a baby girl. Things seem to be happening in a short space of time,
F&O Logistics was beginning to get lucrative business. It helped achieve family responsibility objectives. I bought household items such as beds, wardrobes, tiling, built a wall, and other small important achievables.
By far, F&O has the ability to change my life for the better. Far better.
In the year ending October 2011, F&O has achieved a profit margin of R310,000.00
Considering it was run part time, this was a considerable sum which deserve an applaud. THEN, late August, things took a turn to what I initially thought would help advance my career and deflect the potential conflict of interest with the company I was working for. I accepted a job as a shipping coordinator. The salary was less but my thinking was that it could help me achieve F&O vision.
But it never happened that way because I ended up with a warning against operating my business. Eish!
Then I got a written warning for time management. I began to realise that things are not working as I had initially thought. I was struggling to make ends meet. Then the day came when I realised, that it's better to change course and try restart my action plan.
In November 30, 2011, I abruptly quit the job I had come to dislike. It was a great risk but I still believe that my decision would prove me right one day, soon.
Currently my focus is on building F&O into a multimillion rand company in five years time. The current plan is to have funds from business funding institute, thus we grow the company into mentioned vision.
