Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Workers often keep going to work so they can become rich. In fact, not all of these activities turn someone into rich. A 42 year old woman from the United States, Jenny Woo, could be an interesting example. He only works 25 minutes a day, but can generate income of up to IDR 18.9 billion.
How could that be?
Jenny Woo is a Chinese immigrant who now lives in the United States. As an adult, he worked as a communications consultant at Deloitte and Cisco. In that job, he taught many company officials how to communicate. From this job, he practically earned an extraordinarily large salary. Unfortunately, the nominal salary received every month must be paid dearly with excess working time.
As a result, he was reluctant to work again and chose to resign. After that, he focused on running his own business. In 2018, with savings of US$ 1,000 or Rp. 16 million, he created a card game business called Mind Brain Emotion. As the name suggests, this card attempts to train a person's EQ to be better. All sold on Etsy and Amazon.
To CNBC Make It, he admitted that the business changed his life. Now, he only works between 3-30 hours per week. If calculated into daily time, he only works for 25 minutes a day. Usually, variations in the working range depend on the specific time. For example, when the children are at home, the working time on business is automatically longer.
Even though the working time is only short, CNBC Make It noted that Jenny's business could generate income of up to US$ 1.71 million or Rp. 18.9 billion. Of this nominal amount, 40% or Rp. 760 million is the profit earned by Jenny. At this point, he feels that his work as an entrepreneur brings great happiness.
Moreover, the total profits are not divided further. Aka everything went into Jenny's personal pocket. This happened because he did not employ other people to take care of the business.
“In the corporate world and at Harvard Innovation Labs, I saw company founders go haywire when other people got involved. However, that doesn't mean that someday, I don't want employees. The desire is still there, but only if they have the skills, ” Jenny said to CNBC Make It, quoted Tuesday (30/4/2024).
Furthermore, Jenny also revealed that this business is very suitable to be run alone. It's just that someone only has skills that support business operations. The reason is, online business competition is very tight.
“You have to really understand advertising, SEO, and stay up to date with new features on each platform. Last time I checked, there were 12 million toy products on Amazon, USA. Without these skills it is very difficult to get our business known to people, ” he said.
So, to have skills like that, Jenny advised never stop learning. If you have learned, then someone can become a reliable entrepreneur.
