I discovered that the main reason why
we may not earn as much  sales as our 
competitors is that we don’t leverage enough. 
Leverage is “ putting the efforts of 100’s 
or even 1000’s of other people behind you
so they can help you push you forward to 
do things you couldn’t do on your own” . 
Nah..That resonates deep in me.
One of the reason I am not making as much 
sales as my competitors is that I don't use the 
power of leverage. 
I was trying to do everything on my own which 
in turn taking much of my time, making me 
unproductive in some areas in life and etc..
There are millions of people around the world 
who know how to become millionaires but 
how come they're still stuck?
It's the same case how Patric's life was still 
a failure last time although he knew how
to achieve success until he discovered 
this…
For your info, Patric Chan is a Malaysian living 
in Penang, Pearl of the Orient. 
Because of what he had discovered, he
became a millionaire, an author, an 
international speaker, having holidays
around the world and happily married -
when he was just an 'ordinary' person
a few years ago.
Wow..that inspires me. An Ordinary man
doing extraordinary things!
So back to my wirename keychain venture 
online. I was struggling to get my business 
in my 1st year. 
How to become an entrepreneur?
So many of us would want a business of 
our own right? but many times EXCUSES like  lack of time,
lack of money, lack the 'know-how' stopped us from
getting it off the ground.
Many of us spend so much time daydreaming 
of a life much better than now.
Daydreaming will be just be a daydream without
ACTION!. 
When I first started,  I decided that I will start selling 
something from my lists of handmade crafts ideas.
I am quite good with my hands and the tools and
material needed for making wirename keychains is
cheap and easily available in the hardware shop.
My Secret to Wirename Keychain is ....hmm..
Actually I bought an ebook online and learn the
This is how I started in wire writing niche. 
After I learned the trade and I created
my own ways to write using wires and 
turn it uniquely mine. I decided to find 
my USP or Unique Selling Proposition.
After doing my own research online,
I discovered that most wirename crafters
are doing wirename jewelery like earings,
rings, bangles, necklace ,name pin and etc.
But I'd never seen any wirename keychain.
So  That was it! I found it..eureka!!=)
I got it. I shall make wirename keychain.
People will be able to carry it with them 
most of their time. And I will offer not only
name keychains but mobile phone numbers 
as well.
Some people lost their sets of keys more often 
than some people. So by having their names 
and  mobile phone numbers in a form of keychain tag
with their keys, it will increase the chances
that they will get their keys back if they lost it.
I decided earlier that this will not be a 24/7 undertaking.
I don't have to quit my job that I have now. By the way,
the job that I am doing now is a CALLING. 
However, regardless of our circumstances,
starting a part-time business is a good fit. 
I started my online craft business selling 
keychains because:
1. I could use some extra income
2. I would like to see my ideas works
3. I got some extra times and a laptop
with internet connection
4. I'd like to find a way that the whole youth group,
from the church-could work together doing
something with their hands and creativity.
And the result is...

To me, working hard doesnt mean long hours but how much effort and ''heart''you put into your business.
