How I got here
I was 15. Working as a server at a wedding banquet, $8 an hour.
While I was running food back and forth, I started doing the math in my head.
One hour, $8. Two hours, $16.
For $16 I could get a movie ticket, popcorn, and a drink, with a dollar left over. And that's when it hit me. I was trading my whole life now,
just so I could afford a few hours of leisure later. That night I went home and couldn't stop thinking about it. So I made up my mind. I wasn't going to spend my life trading hours for money. I had to build something of my own.
Six years of trying everything. Dropshipping. Blogging. Affiliate sales.
I scraped together $1,000 for an e-commerce store. All of it failed. But every failure taught me something a classroom couldn't.
At 21, I opened my first F&B stall while serving National Service. Funded it with commission money I'd saved from sales. That was the start.9 years later, I've built 4 companies. Closed 1. Merged 2 more.
I know how to run real operations. I know how to build teams. I know what it takes to grow something that survives without you in it.
But here's what I also know.
You can run a great business and still be invisible online. I spent nine years proving that. Trust is moving from companies to personal brands, and most founders aren't paying attention.
Now I am. And Maxzn is where I'm building it in public.
If you're running something real and you're tired of being invisible online, this is for you.
