Singapore has its fair share of entrepreneurs, right from the early days of modern Singapore (think Tan Tock Seng) right up to today – we read storied about high-profile men and women who, through hard work, shrewd business acumen and a little luck got from nothing to making millions. Of course, making millions is not the hallmark of being an entrepreneur – hard work and perseverance is. Edward Williams shares on Good Morning Yesterday a story about two entrepreneurs who came from the kampong in Sembawang Hills – Mr Lim and Joseph.
Edward writes:
Both Mr Lim CE and Joseph hailed from our local kampongs, had no formal education, yet were very successful. Their successes were inspirational for me and many others. What were the ingredients of their achievements? First and foremost let me state the obvious – hard work. Nothing succeeds like hard work. They worked hard, had foresight, business acumen and seized opportunities they saw in their own ways. Mr Lim went into real estate while Joseph chose the transport business. They had ideas and an action plan, and most important of all, they acted on their ideas. They lived exemplary lives and were good role models for those who knew them.
What did they do and how did they build up their business? Read on in Good Morning Yesterday – who knows? You might have encountered them in your everyday life as well.
