I am fortunate to possess an innate passion for entrepreneurship, which has guided my professional journey for many years. Besides being as a serial entrepreneur, I am also a business developer, specializing primarily in assessing business idea, help start businesses, craft business & marketing strategies, develop businesses and last but not least entrepreneurship. One of my notable contributions includes the development of the DFSPS model (Desirability, Feasibility, Scalability, Profitability & Sustainability), which serves as a practical framework for evaluating the potential of various business ventures.

​

My entrepreneurial endeavours span a breadth of industries, including restaurant franchise, international trade, fashion jewelry, residential property development, eCommerce, app development, academic advising, and business consultancy, to name a few. I am deeply passionate about the process of creating value from scratch, and my entrepreneurial ventures reflect my commitment to innovation and sustainable business practices.

​

Drawing upon my extensive experience across diverse academic and business sectors, I occasionally serve as a private tutor, assisting students in navigating the complexities of business studies and marketing. I am disheartened by the prevalent approach among many educators who merely repeat textbook material without providing context or rationale behind key concepts, models, or theories. In contrast, I prioritize enlightening students by elucidating the practical wisdom, rationale, and implications of these principles within the real-world business landscape. At people's request, I advise them to select their academic paths and careers using the model CITSOS developed by me.  CITSOS stands for Character, Interest, Talent, Salary, Opportunity and Social Responsibility.

​

I went to English primary and secondary school in Hong Kong and Gorseinon College of Further Education at A level in Wales. For the undergraduate education, I earned BA in Marketing with Distinction in Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland. Besides, I completed the Post-Graduate Diploma in Entrepreneurship with Merit at Aston University in England and the Post-Graduate Certificate in Digital Marketing with Distinction at York university in Toronto in 2021 and 2022 respectively.  Academically, I am a digital and content marketer.

 

Besides English, I am fluent in Norwegian and have a good understanding of written Danish due to the study of Norwegian and philosophy at University of Bergen in Norway and living there for decades. I had  completed the Certificate in Legal Studies at Hong Kong University and took Contract and Criminal Law courses at London University as well. I had also studied Business Law at BI Norwegian Business School. Associated with the legal studies, I became also interested in legal English. 

​

As a hobby, I'm a content creator, passionate about translating Cantonese slang and colloquial expressions etc. to English. You may click my blog to see my nerdy passion: https://www.cantonslanglish.com

​

I love travel, reading and movies. Last but not least, I 'm an obsessed lover of Collie, Golden Retriever and Bernese Mountain. I am thrilled to be a dog walker for you if you are the parent(s) of these adorable creatures.
