Fund? or FUN?

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work - 

Thomas Edison, inventor and scientist

Today, as was discussing with a partner the opportunities I may have got. All I heard him ask would be....is there fund is there fund?? It's just pure consultant work, why do you need fund? They could offer 15-50% commission for you.........what do you want? I mean these wouldnt be the only jobs that he needs to take - it's on top of what he's been doing. So I moved on saying - it's OK if you dont feel like doing it, I will make sure once you share certain info, you will continue to get a portion of the commission I make. I think it's a win-win.

Why not ask if IT's FUN??? to me it's going to be super fun. haha. I want fun. I also want fund. But I want FUN more. Frankly, if the company would want to take risks to offer fund, why would they choose U? Why not another HUGE co? Just 3 little potatoes.....come on, do this and make it before asking it.

I think I will just play along with my core personality - NAIVE.

I always want to build an empire. haha. But I know I cant really do it the normal way, having a specific product on hand. Mine is soft skills. I want to utilize something I am good at, ie people want to work with me & trust me, and my intuition. With him as one of the people I would reveal rgd my projects, I am actually giving him a chance to do same as me......find a brand, a company that they trust you, then you can utilize the network too. However, I find that most people are not really concerned with the risks, they have no win-win in their mind. And they dont know what they want.

So I asked him what actually he wanted to do. He said, whatever that makes money. Ummm...........this will make money too, already told you it would not be a big sum in the beginning - it's like pocket money and to build our portfolio & credibility. And remember, you dont have to pay one cent except your time & sweat. (of coz he should specify how much money he wanted to make from any kind of project.....)

He's older than me, and more experienced than me. So I dont know who is rite or wrong. Maybe he's smart asking for fund. I am smart in thinking how to gain the fund without directly asking for the fund. He wants all the good countries. I secure the whole Asia. For me, whatever I am doing is a short term & long term strategies. He's thinking of forever getting benefits.

Do people know that there's no real eternity in your lifetime except your soul??

In conclusion, I hope by proving that he's right, he could convince someone to give its brand to Asia, using his terms. At least I did with one company and another one - most parts of Asia.

P.s.

I am not saying I am good. becoz I failed, dunno how many freaking times. One thing I learnt hard is that I relied on others but without taking charge on my own, I relied on people to supply me ideas, methods, rather than proactively find something I like & am good at. Same mindset as him- I also wanted to do whatever I could make money. Yet, I didnt make any money at all. hahahahaha................
