About Yein Jee
Born in Ipoh, Malaysia, in 1979, and stayed happily in the small town for 19+ years before moving to Kuala Lumpur to further my studies, and staying in KL ever since.
Graduated as an industrial engineer despite hating most of the stuffs I studied… in fact I almost failed to graduate after skipping too many classes (I even missed a couple of exams) and had to take another extra semester to finish my courses.
Worked as an assistant engineer in a Japanese company after graduation… but the job ended shortly after realising that engineering was really not my cup of tea. I then became actively involved in network marketing… didn’t make it big though, as I was lacking some needed characteristics to succeed in the field.
Started working at home in some online ventures after that; took me quite some time to learn the tits and bits of online business… I was first involved in freelance projects; and later became a middle man, finding good deals from the rich countries and outsourcing it to cheap programmers (and designers etc.)
There was a good period in my business before it went wrong a couple of times and I had to pay hefty compensation for it. Besides, I also began to realise that I was not building a business, but just working as a self-employed… the moment I stopped working would be the end of my positive cash flow.
So I started to work on passive income instead; building websites of my own and make money with it through various sources. It was around mid-2005 when I started working on my passive income… and doing reasonably well these days.
I am not making more money than my peers, but one good thing is that if I stop working from today onwards… I’m likely to maintain the income level for the next 6-12 months while doing nothing. Quite cool isn’t it?
One of the major reasons for me to work on passive income is my love for travelling. My biggest dream is to travel around the world, but I knew that working on a 9-5 job won’t achieve that… I knew I have to try on something else, and I am on the right track at the moment.
That’s basically it… thanks for visiting YeinJee.com, come back again.
