Business Builder
My great grandfather migrated from Fujian, Southern China with almost nothing. My grandfather started his own business as a Traditional Chinese Medicine Physician. My father started his own ERP software company.
So it is no surprise that both my sister and I are now entrepreneurs.
This journey is certainly not easy, but it has definitely been rewarding and fun at the same time.
Here are some formal businesses that I have founded. As for the other informal businesses... I am more than happy to share over a cup of coffee - or diet coke (as I don't drink coffee) ;-).
