Why I Choose To Leave My Job and Risk Everything?

I think the title of this post is a common question i get from my friends in the training fraternity. Especially when Moneytree is growing at a pretty fast pace and if I stayed, I could have get a taste of the fruits of labour which I planted and nurtured for 2 years. A few of my friends tried to talk me out of it.

I do appreciate all your questions and concerns, I really do. Yes, Moneytree is growing and it's growing fast. They have a dedicated team and i had fun working with them. The only thing that is not growing, professionally, is me. I am a trainer. One of the reason I left Engineering is because I want to contribute to others in the workforce, through training. In my first job, there were people of different specialities but they couldn't go further simply because of the lack life's skills; skills that you do not learn in school, at least not in those days. When my former partners and I formed up Metropolitan FM Solutions, we had the vision and every intention to move into training. When the company changed its focus, I decided to leave that company which I co-founded because I want to do training. So far, my involvement with Moneytree has been operations management and co-ordination. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I am unhappy but its just that a large part of me want to do more than just operations.


Yes, I am risking forgoing my fruits of labour by leaving Moneytree at this time. I believe Sustenance is not in the hands of mortals but decided by the Rabbil Al Amin(Lord of the Worlds). If it is meant to be mine, then it will be. If not, then it will not be. Decision on this is not mine to make. The decision that is mine to take is that I need to build up my profile as a trainer.

Its been more than a year since I been actively training. I am not sure if my ability to train has dropped. If it has, I'll ram it up again. I will need to rebuild myself as a trainer. I will take up assessment and program development projects. I would like to take up overseas assignments and extend my contribution and also to strengthen my profile.Having said that, I am not without fear. Yes, I am fearful of all the what ifs.. This road is the one less taken. Hopefully I can find a mentor.... May this road lead me to new heights and new opportunities that benefits me and everyone around me, In Shaa Allah..
