We met my wife's ex-boss during lunch today. We have a very interesting conversation. YS is a senior finance person in an MNC. He is into investments of different asset class. He invested in real-estates, REIT, shares, etc. He like us is looking for opportunity. He says opportunities are everywhere. We need the eyes for them. I am very impressed by his perpectives.
On reflection, we are like him caught in a paradigm that do not enable us to look out for opportunities. We are good at working hard, improving ourselves, increasing our skills and capbabilities the "corporate" way. That is working for an employer. We seems to lack the creative or innovative mindset or ability to undertake risks. We do extremely well under the umbrella or protection of a big company. The systems and processes are in place. All we have to do is to improve. Starting from scratch is my single largest fear. When can I overcome this fear and be an entreprenuer?
