1) What kind of business do you have? What inspired you to become an Entrepreneur business owner?

Started to be involved in business namely the tours & travel industry since the age of 12. After more than 25 years in it and many other side businesses, a brand new , unknown business opens up its door in February 2009.

What started with just assisting my younger brothers , has now turn to be my major league. Initially, I have zero knowledge of t-shirt printing, no interest at all. Now, after putting in effort to learn about the materials, ways of printing, sewing, artwork , and with my husband’s never ending encouragement , I can say that Qucept Apparels has shaped me to be what I am now.

We cater to our customers need. Customise their tshirt for events, company, families, schools, mosques and many more. Our customers are free to choose their own material, colours , print their own design as all our tshirt are not ready made but sewn from scratch. And the best thing is sizes are unlimited ! We have done from 6XS to 9XL !

Through our research and feedback from customers, not many apparels companies here cater to customise tshirt for quantity less than 100pcs but for us our minimum quantity is only 20pcs. And that is our niche service.

But what inspired me was the fact that as a business owner, you can work the way that you want ! With no Boss breathing down your neck ….

2)Did you need to have a certain mindset to achieve success?

Discipline, Dedication, Determination are all programmed in my mind. Along with Positivity , Passion, Honesty and Intergrity , most importantly I wish to achieve success with the blessings of HIM. Building a good rapport with customers are important too.
Happy and satisifed customers means success too.

3)Have you noticed certain advantages to being an entrepreneur business owner?

Being an entrepreneur business owner gives you the upperhand when dealing with negotiations/discussions. You are more welcome in networking sessions. Other business owners show interest in striking up conversations with you.

4)Did you have a mentor to help you get started?

I dont have any mentor to guide me in this tshirt printing business. However, for me and hubby, getting to know and being able to attend seminars and workshops by Jim Rohn, the International Philosopher & Motivator, was a great help in getting our business on the right track.

5)Approximately how much money did you invest before your business became profitable?
We invested in registering the company with ACRA. With proper accounting from day one, we have definitely see the margins growing.

6)What ways have you found to be most effective in marketing your product or service to get sales?

Internet. We started with just online marketing and still doing it. Have tried advertisement in Berita Harian, LTA Boards, Flyers but the most effective marketing is still the internet and now, word of mouth, referrals. With our own website : www.qucept.com, we have attracted customers from all walks of life, mainstream and not.

7)What tips can you give others who want to embrace their dream but, don’t have the confidence or feel they don’t have what it takes to succeed?

Confidence come when you are passionate about your product.

Mingle with other business owners who can show you the way, share with you the right tips. I started coming to SMCCI when invited by Sis Sumira from MAK Courier Service for her talk in networking last year. Met lots of wonderful business owners there, Abang Abu included. Had my BASNEVA Sessions with EDC@SMCCI too.

Never give up! When we had a session with a consultant at Chinese Chamber of Commerce in January last year, looking at our portfolio, he said, he knows we are struggling but told us to never give up because we are on the right track.

Perservere, Patience, Pray … what you sow will be harvested.

8)What’s next for you?
Next… To have our own retail outlet, to promote our brand ‘Donut’ line of clothing. We have planned the future for Qucept Apparels, will work hard to go towards it, and then leave the rest in the hands of the Almighty.

Taking this opportunity to thank my partner – life and biz : Khairul Sukaimi for always believing in me, for putting in the extra confidence when needed, for giving me a pat on the shoulder when work well done, for giving me the shoulder to cry on and for planning the way for Qucept Apparels.

To my siblings ,daughters, personal friends , thank you for the support, care , concern and the doas.

To my new found business partners, associates may all our business prosper together!

To Qucept Apparels customers, thank you for the opportunity given.
