You don't have money to buy food, pay rent, and cover all of your other necessities. The situation throws you off completely, leaving you scratching your head for days. Jackson Yew faced the same problem when he had to shut down his ship salvaging company within two years. At first, he thought he was living the entrepreneurial dream. But little did he know that things would fall apart almost in the blink of an eye. However, Jackson learned a big lesson in life when he was broke: expertise and management are two crucial aspects of running a business. He wished he knew this before starting his first company. Even though he became broke, he found a way to make a living by offering web development services to Malaysians. He soon approached international clients from the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia. What followed was beyond what Jackson had ever imagined.
