Hi beautiful Hive friends, peace and blessings. Have you guys ever felt a sense of boredom in doing your daily activities, and you want to get out of there? This is what I want to tell you today as I crossed the boundaries of my comfort zone, and in the end, this decision became better for me.

In 2022, I graduated from university and worked at a psychology bureau as an assistant child psychologist. I earned a salary that was enough to support myself every month. However, the work I had been doing made me bored. I tried to explore more from my personal experience. I tried to become an online seller.

I was hesitant at first, so I asked a friend who is also an online merchant. She advised me not to go directly into business. So for a while, I just became a reseller and drop shipper without having to leave my job. Two months on, the business as an online seller is making a pretty good profit.

I used the profits as capital to sell clothes online and offline. However, this business interfered with my work because I spent a lot of time promoting sales. At that time, I was in a dilemma, choosing between staying at work or quitting for the sake of the business. I thought about this for three days. I finally chose to run my business and quit my job at the psychology bureau.

But the thing about doing business is that my income is not fixed. Sometimes I get a big profit, and sometimes my capital is pent up because sales decline. But this is quite fun and a challenge for me. I use my friend as my business mentor because she has experience. Getting out of our comfort zone sometimes requires us to be ready to take risks, but it's fun because it's full of challenges.
