The first year of teaching and running a business at the same time was a great challenge. It was a great challenge for someone who has never been into any kind of business.....do you count selling insurance as building up a business...well if it is, it lasted only for 5 months. I think when I was 19 someone approached me for Tupperware Selling....well, I didn't even start to do it. I was always bad in trying to sell something. I didn't have the heart to take people's money that way.
When i first had a parents' meeting, i was shivering all the way. If i were one of the parent, I'd not believe a word i had said. However, 12 parents were there and all signed up. That's how it all started.....12 students for 3 months. After that it went up to 30 for the next 9 months. From the business point of view...the business wasn't growing well!!!!
However, from day 1, my fascination was more on meeting new faces, and looking at the little ones. 4 times a week I'd wake up in the morning feeling nervous about the day's challenge. When I say nervous, i meant really nervous, like I'd skip breakfast, and would lose sleep the night before.
NOw.....I can't wait to go to the centre!!!!!! to face the day. It keeps me going.
