Business-minded Vs Non business-minded
I always believe in the existence of two types of businessman, i.e. one is born to be and the other type is trained to be. My family and I do not belong to any of that. We do not know how to do business. Our personality and our brought up just deny us from being able to become businessmen.
Let me tell a story here. My mum is just an ordinary old lady in her early 70s. She is still energetic and she always psses her time by making some patch work from the left over of the cotton cloth. She is most proud of her blanket made from those patch work. The number of blankets keep increasing and upon our advice she started to sell some of them. A few days ago, a relative from Miri was very sure that she wanted 6 blankets(tampal seribu) from her. At that time, mum was in Brunei and the relative called her in order to pay her even though the blankets were still in Sibu. If mum is a business lady, she would definitely collect the money immediately. However, since she is not, she told the relative not to hurry. She can pay after the blankets are sent to her. It is only 4 days later to receive a call from her informing that she doesn't want the blanket anymore!!! Haha.... I am saying if mum has collected the money, it may turn out to be different. The relative will have to take the blanket even though she doesn't want to buy anymore.... It does make a difference for collecting the money early and late.
Businessmen are calculative but non businessmen are not.
Mum has no problem in selling the patch work. She has a lot of customers. So I need to take the blankets back from the sister of the relative to be sent back to mum.
