Most businesses start with the kernel of a good idea.
But how to germinate good ideas into well-run profitable companies is something more tricky. Back in the summer of 1997, I realized that the business opportunities were just starting to open up on the Internet and I would have missed the cut if I didn't seize the chance to start my own business. Fortunately, my family is also running a business in the mainland and is very supportive. I'm very pragmatic. I realized early on that I had to build my business on solid ground.
