Diary of a CEO

The debut journey of starting up

「I take the road less travelled, although we are not hand in hand; how happy I am to know that I am not alone, and you are the shadow next to me, a giant shadow much taller than me, a shadow with faith, confidence and commitment」, it all came suddently, the push and pull of the trigger project " International Youth Travel " turn on to me my regination signal, it echo to the voice deep in my heart - don't be scared, be positve and go your own way.

On Sep.8, we started our first journey of " Side Project " start up discussion, in order to make the trip a good space for discussion, we give up the idea of venture route - even I purchase the Ping-Shi side-tract train, instead, we take the MRT to Tamsui - where we can easily spend a day talk and share. I brought her to a few places in Tamsui where she never visited before, such as the Red Castle - where we structure our schedule, the Black Shop restaurant- where we enjoy the famous deep flied spare rib bowl, the sea shore cafe - where we clearify my uncertainty of join CTS / PTS.

The long day meet and talk came out with 10 project in first year, we take Sep. the launch month to ink our partnership - Fair and Continuely is what she addressed yesterday, I tried to take note, obserb her feeling / thinking and draft the schedule according to our discussion. On Sep. 9 planing trip schdule came out at Champain K-Reading house - where I compline my MBA essay , a place whre I can concentrate in thinking and writing, where my productivity and efficiency were high and strong.

Sep. 9, I delivered the drift to her and discussed a few concept about presenting the IYT with her. she is sharp and she is professional, I witness her decisive and determine way of conceed her will, he worked and educated the govenment staff with a firm and strong attitude. and it get things done so quick. I am impressed.

Sep. 10, jointly visit Kororo, a vendor I introduct to take up the project and at the same time to let her experienct and conduct an accessment, checking if Kororo is qualify to be our vendor or production house in the future. she is professional, at the presence, she is fine , after the meeting, we continue our second part of discussion. she was strong and asked if we can change our vendor for doing this project? I am not shocked but explained to her why doing this is because of learning curve and some financial arrangement we must take. she accept it and share with me , the money we allocat might be totally waste, but she is fine with it.

I share with her my ture inner part -- chicken shake ; afrain of death, what if our entrepernour turn out to be a fail project? I told her to me, this is my last and only chace to do something on my own. and how about her ? she responsed, the chance of failure will never come, even if it happend, there will be no sorrow, no regret. then she told me that she never wanted to maintain any long relationship with anyone. Ma is her husband, this is what she need, her mother is the personal mutually independent with her and.... to start something together, this is the best of the best...... I am touched again, the rare occasion she shared, and I fully understand now... I thank her with all my heart.

I told J. and J yesterday that I make a decision already, March 31, 2006 will be my last working day at S. the day can only come earlier. the integraty in my heart told me I should reveal it with Tokyo no latter than Dec. the driver in me lead me to everything but current company, I have lost my heart in what I am doing now and fully focus on new venture, new company and new project.

I treat it my only and last chace to show off in the world, but with the social capitalist in mind, we are not alone. we will re-distribute the social capital for those who need it and from those who have too much.
