NOBODY TO SOMEBODY

Hi Friends

The clock is ticking ..... in a few days time. Year 2009 will be a thing of the past. We will grow older by 1 year, the Earth would have completed 1 round of revolution around the Sun, the IR would be nearer to completion, and the list goes on....If you have read the Life Section of Straits Time today, you wo...uld have came across a young man (age:32) by the name of Eldwin Chua who has came far from a nobody 'zi char' cook to Paradise Group CEO which has 8 Chinese restaurants.I have friends who own restaurant but closed one after another. Some left with only one. Others closed all of them mainly because of the high rental. The interesting point is that Eldwin opened one restaurant at ION Orchard. You just need to speculate the rental/month that he needs to invest. So what makes him so successful? A few behavioural traits that are commonly found in all successful individuals:

1) 200% Focus on his Business - he eat, sleep & breathes restaurant
2) He slog - there is no replacement for hardwork. If you want to get-rich-quick, watch "Money Not Enough I & II"
3) He has a product that many Singaporeans crave - Creamy Butter Crab, an alternative to Chilly Crab
4) Constant innovation to differentiate his product - he hired a talented Head Chef from Pine Court Chinese Restaurant to create unique dishes
5) Empowering Beliefs - his dream was to bring his company to be publicly listed in 3 years. In 3 years time, he would only be 35.

What do you believe in? ......... the clock continues to tick ..... and I would like to wish all of you ......

A CLEAR, FOCUS AND RESULT-PRODUCING 2010!!
