3. We tend to celebrate the successful entrepreneurs and aspire to become just like them. Why? Their lives just seems to be the dream we all have. I was just at a bros place for Chor 9 and we were sitting in a huge mansion with a nice pool. No one took pics to post and to show the who’s who and that we were with the rich and famous and everyone just chilled to have a great time chatting, laughing and making fun of the silliest of things. The reality of what you do really see on social media is just that. What people want you to see. The “success” & “happy” life they are living. If you are really successful and living a happy life, just enjoy it. We don’t need to show the whole world unless it’s just a marketing tool for you to attract more followers and agents to follow you to sell what you are selling. Nothing wrong. Just know your objectives.
4. One of the most important things I learnt being an entrepreneur. If you are serious about succeeding, you have got to have a very understanding and supportive better half. Why? It will give you a purpose to overcome all challenges and difficulties as you are not alone on this extremely lonely journey as an entrepreneur. I am now blessed to have Cheryl Lim. Many want to be one not knowing and will never understand what you will have to lose along the way to get what you want. Yes you will lose a whole lot. Lose what? You will find out very soon if you do not know it yet. Well if you are cut out to be an entrepreneur then all these pain and suffering will just complete you more. I hope you have a better half that wants to do better and grow together with aligned values.
5. It will not get easier until it gets a whole lot tougher as an entrepreneur. Why? Everyone would be one and a successful one if it was just so easy. I congratulate all you entrepreneurs that have made it through many tough years especially through COVID and standing strong and continue to want to do more to make that significant difference. I am blessed to be one of them. I am excited as I continue to work on dreams that I have always wanted to achieve and now with a close inner circle of life partner, team, friends and business partners. I am grateful as I complete 20 years of entrepreneurship and move into the most exciting chapter of my entrepreneurial life for the next 20 years in Period 9 starting this year in 2024. Thank you for your continuous support and I look forward to your continuous success. 🙏❤️🔥 #ErnieChen #PORTMAN #Education #College #internationalschool #TrainingAcademy #Edtech #preschool #IPO
