Greenergy was announced top 6 in MoneyTree YES Challenge! It was a mixed emotional moment, somehow we felt that the coming challenges will be flooding us all over. But definitely one of the memorable moments in our lives. The presentation made on the day was in my opinion a normal one, though we heard lots good comments from friends as well as from Brandon who was one of the judges during Q &A session. Maybe it was because of the insomnia on the previous night, seemed to have fidgeted during the Q & A session. But overall, we were still very confident in getting through to the top 6.
ChenChow even SMSed me right after the presentation that our team was asured of the Top 6 spot according to his predictions.
Behind the scenes.
On the night before, we were rushing our heads off with the financials and also the presentation speech. Michael added some points to improve on the day before which we immediately drill in to accomplish it. Anyhow, after looking on teams presented that day, we had a wake up call on how much detail and depth on what we could have done on our presentation on saturday.
Despite completion of the presentation speech, I end up waking up at 3am (heart beat out of control) rehearsing the speech over and over again. Had a few moments of doubt 6 hours before the presentation. But finally I manage to pull myself together and work it against the negative emotions.
What I have realised
During times of despair, our minds somehow enjoys creating drama and predictions on how bad things will turn out to be, while in reality everything is just fine!
It is through our determination and believe to ignore the self made scenario and continue our efforts towards the ultimate goal.
Believe in what the mind tells you? End up giving up hope and eventually leads to a poor result.
The Road Ahead
The road of Entrepreneurship has just begun for us. We do have a stated plan on how we are about to realize our business idea. But hey, there are so many links and pieces yet to be assembled to get the engine started. Honestly speaking I have no idea regarding how we are gonna put those pieces in place. But with all the supports from our mentors and friends, theres no reason whatsoever on how we can't make it. I have high hopes on our business idea and team. Anticipating lots of fun and surprises to be unfold among us.
Read on this metaphor the other day:
Imagine a car driving through the night, and the headlights only brightenes 2 meters forward.
If you wanna make it all the way from Johor to Kedah driving through the darkness, all you have to see is the next 2 meters.
Thats how life tends to unfold. You just have to trust that the next 2 meters will unfold after that, your life will keep unfolding, and it will eventually get you to the destination or whatever it is that you truely want.
Next up will be the Big pitch where we will pitch for money from the investors.
Brandon noted that for the way we presented on saturday, it was not even worth RM2 invested. Lots of works to be done to convince the investors.
Will be actively meeting with our mentors right after my Final Year Project. Cant wait to uncover the next 2 meters ahead!!
