Ability to Learn from Mistakes

Nurul Diana bt. Mohd. Pudzi

            In order to become a great entrepreneur, ones must have the ability to learn from mistakes. In other word, he should not give up easily. Without this traits, an entrepreneur is not an entrepreneur because able to learn from mistakes is a knowledge that you can’t never get from books. What make an entrepreneur is different from other is on how he tackle the problem, figuring out the solution, adapting with the business challenge and so on. In business environment, experience is the mother of knowledge. A student with theory on how to run a business can’t be same with people who have been in the industry for years because the knowledge he gain through it makes him more valuable than a student with the only theory of fact.

         Sometimes, even when you think you are ready for a business, but the fact is the experience you gain still not enough to manage the business. For this case, meet Nurul Diana Binti Mohd Pudzi, founder of Dian Pixy. At first, she runs a small business of cosmetic product. Until she think she is ready to start up a business, she go for it. What she expects to gain more profit didn’t seem to happen the way it is. She starts to feel disappointed. Until she met a mentor that totally change the way of how she manage her business. From that, she knows what she had done wrong and starts all over again. For the first three months, she starts to gain more than she expect. And now, Dian Floral Mask has been exported through all Malaysia and also to neighbor country.
