Focus make Professionism
The title of this article was coted from Mr. Li-chi-ying. Funder of 2 un-parellel business - Garment and Media , a branded " Giodeno " and the notorious turn trendy " The Next Weekly " and " Apple Diary ", as I am in the first 5 months of starting my own business. it seems for last 2 months, I done nothing but complains, complain about the no media coverage, complain about the cold and crul world of relationship, complained about not room to strech my capability in developing my career, until the day Google executive recruiting firm inform me about the chance of join them, I begin the process of interviewing. then I realized I must face the reality of the true world. on my own and fighting for the unknown future. H.Han's warm advice inspired me a lot, he kept saying " Follow the correct path, even on the road, you make a few mistake, it won't hurt must ", then the KDDI founder's auto-biography push me futhure, his formula of ture life and business : Mindset multiple passion multiple capability keep me thinking for quiet a while, he emphesis on " Mindset or Mentality ", and told me only this attribution have 2 diretion, it can be a postion weight, or negative weight, depending on how you see your life and business: " Doing Good will never be wrong ", I shall clear my mind and bring myself back to where I am 5 months ago. -- Passion and Capicity is what I need to inject. I shall never complain again.Mr. Chiang wish to return and retire to Toranto this year, and hand over the foundation to a certain person or committe, I spoke with Mr. Han quite honestly, probabely that's the day I be very precise to what I want to know; H. told me he once had an idea to terminate the fundation back to 2 or 3 years ago, at that time, the overall economic situation was bad, He seems faced the delima of support the fundation or not, then he disclose the annual expense he allocate to the fundation, it's between 20 to 30 millions NT. Almost all the spending was from his pocket, not the foundation's fund raising income. and Mr. Chiang is positive about break even by June this year, which is not the case to Mr. Han. He asked me to highly selective on which business to stay and which to go, I asked how long he will keep supporting the fundation until break even, he don't have an answer in mind, but told me termination should not be an option for him, but an alternative solution to the fundation itself, Mr. Chiang is so aggrestive in changing the fundaiton to a CSR center and establishing a Social Enterprise Center for Cliff, who just step dowm from the famous Orbis fundation Taiwan. I should be prudent about every decision I made as no one committe to anything yet. Ben's advise is correct, I shall build the platforma nd trasaction period longer, since I am not 55, should not give up the career in commercial world.
Andrew offer me a no-salary CEO chance to transfer VIMA - an image serch technology company to a good performing entity, for me, this is another way to allocate time with, I may need to be in LA by end of May., Hung-Yi is kind enough to donation half a millions from his fundation for our pet project - Wutian community in Taipei, this is the aboriginal project which I promise to deliver this year, but cause a lot problem from the working level, Celine is not happy with my promise with no money, now I raised half a millins, Fung-Ga agree to put on the exhibition,and the final issue lay on the Lukai tribe, I really really don't understand them,the gap is huge from what Ceine told me, she doesn't like Bao who I am not so anger with, she have problem with Wenhow's father, the key artist to make the show rolling, I need to fix the problem I Created, but to be very frank, I can call it an end, I don't think it will jerpordise Lichum's brand name, as it don't has it yet, for my personal repution? well, this is an educational process, I deserve the lesson and the cost of realtionship.
Join Celine to the Synyi project weekly meeting, she is good, althoug I can see some leak in devleoping the detail plan, but for a company of 4, this is fair enough, I brough up the " promise to deliver , should be on time " issue with her, and she came back with " How to handle customers' torolence " and " Quality is much important then deliver on time ", I don't mind to sit and compensate for any possible loose, but to take care of the only 2 customer is quite essential this year, otherwise, I need to go somewhere finding my own venture, and leave her along deal with second tier of coustomer, and we will falling down to a " PR firm " this is what we hate to become. I need to find time to share it with her. at least, our Tuesday meeting.
