Entrepreneurs Unplugged 2009




3 entrepreneurs, mr. Saeed Amidi (Plug n Play Tech center), ms. Elim Chew (77th Street) n mr. Dennis Goh (hungrygowhere.com), were featured in this "Unplugged" talk, as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week...

Short notes from the talk:
They stressed on the importance of passion...passion for ur ideas...passion for what u believe in n what u wanna change...importance of EQ n AQ...tenacity n being driven...the entrepreneurial mindset...how u tackle challenges...n wanting to prove ppl wrong...networking n building up ur team with ppl of different skillsets to complement urs...n not to focus on money when u first start, cos when u r successful, money will follow u...develop ur biz plan n think abt the cashflow...n b ready for change all the time...muz change to gain the cutting edge, n b ahead of all ur competitors...taking action n b more thick-skinned...

Enjoyed the "unplugged" sharing session...with lotsa humor from the speakers...esp ms. Elim Chew's take on "OUTside-STANDING" n "hungrygowhere=hungryghost?" lol ;p

Som ppl tend to think n research n plan for too long without taking any action..."But you have to take that big step, that step will lead to another step. If you never take that one step, you will never go to another step." what really struck me was the question tt my leechie idol, ms. Elim Chew asked..."What r u going to do after this talk?" what action r u going to take?go home n do nothing n return for another similar talk?

It was definitely time well spent...appreciate their sharing, "unplugged" style =) managed to pop ovr to ask questions after the talk...n there were ppl taking pics with my leechie idol, ms. Elim Chew...but leechie was too shy o.O" but i managed to shake her hands =) Regarding branding, she mentioned tt Macdonalds' really good with their "Monopoly" game promo...with the huge amt of revenue tt they could generate with juz $50k!!!
