Ticket to entrepreneurSHIP
Same person.
TWO different lifestyles.
One Breakthrough.
Wake up at 6am. Reach office at 9am. Busy till lunch time. Sleepy after lunch time. Praying time will pass faster. Knock off at 6pm. Hate Mondays.
Does this look familiar to you? Well, it certainly does to Daniel as this had been going on for 5 years when he was working as a Sales Engineer.
Daniel has graduated from Mechanical Engineering and has been working in a lighting house as a sales engineer for 5 years. Just like most people, he believed that to work in a field that he was graduated from was the only way to have a stable career and income.
However, things get very routine and he has nothing to look forward to in his job everyday. He has lost his motivation to work and his performance had been hit badly.
He figured that he needs to change the environment by perhaps, finding a new job. But then, he was caught in a dilemma between changing a new company and still work the same job scope or changing a new industry and get a salary cut. He felt stuck and hopeless in his current situation.
One day, Daniel saw a Facebook post about a mobile app training program offered by Set-An-App. He was very familiar with mobile apps mainly through the games but he was curious on how businesses are starting to use mobile app to improve their sales and marketing. Hence, he brought a couple of friends and went for the business preview.
During the preview, the speaker has showed him the uncapped opportunities one can get in this market. The demand for mobile app development is increasing but there are a shortage of developers. The 5 days training program will equipped him with the necessary skills set that enable him to seal a deal and to earn some decent income. Out of desperation of wanting a breakthrough in his career, he signed up for the training program without any hesitation.
In just barely 2 weeks after the training, he has earn $47,000 from developing mobile app! He was very optimistic that it will be going very well if he continues. Soon, he left his job as a sales engineer.
Now, his typical schedule will be as such:
Wake up at 8am. Have breakfast with client at 10am. Collect payment from client at 1pm. Bank in the cheque before 4pm. Hang out with friends in the evening. Watch soccer at 2am. Love every single day.

EXCLUSIVE Interview Highlights
Conducted by Get Real Business Group
GR: Get Real, D: Daniel
GR: Do you think that its too risky to have a career change?
D: Well, if you want a breakthrough in your life, I think there is certain decisions that you have to made to step out of your comfort zone. Most people are just too comfortable with the job that they are doing and forgot that there are plenty of opportunities for them to explore.
GR: What are the challenges of stepping out to be an entrepreneur?
D: The number one thing to do is to overcome your limiting beliefs. Most of the time, our mind is too cluttered with all the negative thoughts that are stopping us from being successful. We got to stop telling ourselves that 'we can't do it', 'other people are luckier than me', 'I am not a boss material' etc.
Afterall, if we don't believe in ourselves, nobody will.
GR: So why mobile app business?
D: I came to know that well-known local brand like Pastamania had pioneered mobile app ordering to improve in their business. And true enough, the trend is moving from website to mobile app. Businesses will need a mobile app to connect with their customers more closely. Hence, I felt that there is a huge market for mobile app development.
GR: Does the business profitable enough for your to quit your full time job?
D: Oh yes. The current market rate for a mobile app is between $10k to $15k. I can earn a huge margin out of it. Of course, I am not saying that everyone should quit their job and do this business. But if you are going to do this on a part time basis, wouldn't it be good to have an extra of few thousand dollars in your pocket every month?
GR: How does the SET-AN-APP mobile app training program help to kick start your business?
D: The beauty of this training program is that there is no coding or programming needed. People who do not know a single thing about IT can still learn through their easy-to-understand training classes. Not only they teach me how to build a mobile app, they also provide a comprehensive sales training for me to successfully close a deal.
