Quest - On the cross Roads

Been quite busy for the past few months and couldn't make time to pen down my thoughts or experiences. Kept myself busy most of the time with Quest - A promising MLM business. I started the venture along with my close friends Raj and Chandu and built a good team of around 20 members. I achieved calculated results too. The business kept my mind occupied most of the time and my thought process revolved around it.

Even while at office, I was multitasking with all the plans, phone calls and discussions. I had proudly discussed my business indulgences with Dad, mom, sisters and friends. The confidence within was immense - courtesy the numerous meetings we had and all the support from various Business leaders. I made two business trips to hyderabad and attended a number of parties and meetings in Chennai. Notable among them was the grand training cum meet of the Ocean team at Chennai trade Centre.(India's numero uno M/s Padma convened the event) Quest became a part and parcel of my routine. Responsibilities grew day by day but I was enjoying them as I could visualize my success. It did bother me sometimes because my leaders always insisted me to take this up as a full time work sometime down the line, but I wasn't up for the idea. I wanted to balance it along with the regular job.

At this juncture when my efforts started paying off and success seemed unstoppable a heavy hindrance blocked my road. I had waited for months to gain confidence in the entire setup and to invest on behalf of somebody else (with the obvious assumption that they would pay back). I received my first token of reward, a check of eleven grand, the second was on its way and the third was ready to be despatched. Due to a few ambitious people's wrong business methodology the company stood exposed and media played the evil monster to degrade its reputation.

Initially, it was looked down upon as a passing cloud. The leaders gave assurance and cited a previous incident in Banglore which subsided eventually. But this time, one event led to the other and even people who have benefited from the company stand ready to complain. My mentors have belief that Business would be back and everything would be normal.

Now, all I can do is just hope that things would recover and expect the Business partners across to have a reasoning mind and not just panic. Thirty grand is on cards and 10 grand stands to be delivered.

I sometimes feel frustrated - why were my dreams nipped off in the bud !!! Or is this a testing time ??
