Why Mental Health is Vital for Entrepreneurs

* The 4 signs of emotional/psychological disturbances to look out for in your team, friends, and family.
* How to support them

Boldness, Courage, and Drive – A Lady’s Perspective for Business Success

Boldness, Courage, and Drive – A Lady’s Perspective for Business Success

Dato Elaine Teh has a very interesting story of success. How she started Octopus Group in Singapore from scratch and built a Management Services company running 90 pubs and nightclubs; then selling it to a Private Equity company and pivoting to the distribution of alcoholic beverages and becoming a leader in the industry.  

In this interview, we see her ability to make bold decisions,  to plan ahead and do what is needed.  

One of the secrets of success is hiring talent from MNC's, empowering them and rewarding results/performance while at the same time setting clear expectations. And, of course, learning from mistakes.  

She also has built a practice of monthly Townhall sessions where everyone's birthday is celebrated and she bakes cupcakes for everyone! All the whole team, including the warehouse people, the drivers, etc are free to dialogue, ask questions and make suggestions.   

Her main focus of course is on overseeing the Finance function as well as business development.  

And, patience pays when she was finally invited to take up a major share in a Malaysian company in the same industry.  Now she is able to spend time on NGO work, particularly helping women in entrepreneurship.

Business Powered by Cryptocurrency - The Contrarian Entrepreneur

Business Powered by Cryptocurrency - The Contrarian Entrepreneur

in this episode, I talk to Dato Sri Joseph Lee, founder of the diversified Golem Group Malaysia. Discover how this "contrarian entrepreneur" did the reverse of most conventional businesses.   

In this interview, because of his hands-on and vast experience in this, he demystifies many ambiguities and gives the beginner confidence in investing in crypto.  

Believe it or not, he made money in Cryptocurrency first before starting his various businesses!  

By identifying and attracting "disgruntled employees" as jockeys for his businesses, he was able to avoid many mistakes and save time going through steep ( and often expensive) learning curves.   

He also shares useful tools and online resources to help you stay on top of investing in crypto.   

Plus he gives a practical example of how Musang King Durians can use NFT's (non-fungible tokens) to build customer confidence in export markets like China.   

Finally, he has 3 pieces of advice for would-be crypto investors:
1. Don't over-analyse/hesitate. It's just moving too fast to learn it all. Instead,  get your feet wet and learn as you go.
2. Take a contrarian approach. He says,  Don't follow the herd and end up Buying High and Selling Low!"" ( or as Warren Buffet would say, Be fearful when people are greedy, and be greedy when people are fearful).  
3. Focus on the Quantity of assets rather than the value at any moment.

Securing Media Publicity for Your Brand

Securing Media Publicity for Your Brand

Listen to and pick the brains of this media legend - former CEO & Editor-in-Chief of Malaysian National News Agency (BERNAMA).  

Some of the takeaways from Dato Yong :  

1) Nothing is impossible now. Go to #socialmedia for self-promotion and when you have received influencer status, it's not hard to go into #mainstreammedia.  
2) #Contentcreation is super important. As a writer, we have to remember we are acting as an intermediary. So FOCUS, know which direction we are taking and have a great memory hook to entice the media, public, and target audience.   
3) As a writer, don't be misled. Ideally, do your homework and speak to people who take time to allow writers to understand the situation before the writer writes.  
4)For any physical launching, plan ahead and give time to media to interview both VIP and writer  
5) Be a good storyteller (like Elon, Tony and Dr M!). Content Creation is essential today.
