Appreciate people in your life


Maybe not everyone can think like what you think in life, but I personally enjoy coming into work each day and appreciate the opportunity to continually learn new things. From a newspaper boy at 12 years old to a business consultant at the age of 40 years old, I have seen through many things in life and basically there is nothing much for me to achieve. What I hope to do for the next 10 years is to nurture new talents, regardless whether in entertainment, marketing business, technology, property and insurance industry, to groom them into the next leader and boss of a company and help them achieve something great in life.

Why I want to do that? Well, I had been wasting my time, building something alone without much guidance from any of the mentors and friends, and I do not wish to see my friends and partners wasting their times building and end of the day, they fail because of wrong direction and wrong timing. If I know the way to build a success business, the next step is to find somebody suitable to impart my skill and knowledge to him/her. But how many of them are willing to learn the steps and techniques that I have on hand? 

Seem like nowadays, young working executives and youngster with a dream, do not believe in hard work, rather than believing in very successful people's stories, but do they really share their way to their success, or it is just another marketing stories to get consumers know about their product and branding instead? Maybe some of you succeed in using another successful businessman's strategy, but how many of them can successfully use the same method?

If you ever meet a mentor who want to impart his/her knowledge to you, helping you to become successful in life, you should invest your time to learn and try it out for at least 1 to 2 years. Nothing come over the night, and remember that whatever you spend years to built in your life, can also be destroy over the night. Learn to invest your time on the right mentor. 

If you ever meet a investor who believe in your dream, do plan carefully and work accordingly to ensure every steps that you take, is safe and correct, so as to ensure minimum risk in your new business. No doubt investor's money is not your money, but once your investor lose the confident in you, you will also get into trouble as well. Use the investment in the right way and work with a team of professional who are confident in your dream. 

Recently I build a team for a new set-up, with a group of new staffs with no knowledge on what we are doing, plus a group of experience staffs who understand what we are doing. A mixture of new and old staffs can be disaster if we do not manage properly. In every business, there are risk if you want to see success within the shorter period, so I m trying out now to see what is the result end of the day. 

I hope to see new staffs able to work independently and old staffs can improve them continuously. I know it is hard, so if I do not have a choice, my only choice is to recruit new staffs and remove whoever that is not performing up to standard or those that is not keen to learn. My theory is always the same: "Talk is cheap, action is more realistic."

Hopefully new staffs and old staffs can improve and be independent, work on new solution and ideas that can bring the company to another highest level. Lastly if you want to be a successor of a company and business, you must impress me with your knowledge and commitment, otherwise it will be hard for me to even share and teach you further. Nowadays I give up on people and things more easier than anyone out there, as my patience is very limited as age is catching up. 

If you keen to be a artiste, a property agent, a insurance agent, a business consultant or aiming to be a young entrepreneur, do contact me accordingly via email at williamsoh2009@gmail.com and I will fix an appointment with you once I get your resume and remember to share with me on what you want.
