Wilson Ng started helping the family business since 9 years old. Since then, he had dreamt to be a successful entrepreneur, one who starts great businesses ( he has started 7) from scratch with insight, guts and initiative. He keeps his focus on growing the business by creating value-- not on politics, or wasteful distractions. He brings the same focus to community service, teaching, life and family.

What does Entrepreneurship Mean to You? (EntrepreViews) Prof Jeff Cornwall, director of the Center for Entrepreneurship in Belmont University, chaired last week the 50th annual meeting of the International Council for Small Business, for which he has shared also the highlights of the convention where over 600 attendees exchanged ideas on entrepreneurship. He shared speech of Dr. Naughton in which the speaker shared about the different approaches we take to regards to how we view our own business. Is our work a career?

The Changing Tech Scene (techdrivenlife) I gathered some stats that shows how technology is changing the way we live. Apparently, for the last few years, video games is becoming a big bet compared to Over 41 million people have downloaded Skype, and over 150,000 more people are doing every day. Over 10 million people blog, and over 5 million have signed up with Microsoft's MSN Spaces in just a few months it was launched. Digital cameras now outsell traditional cameras, and cell phone now outnumber computers. China based Lenovo just bought IBM's PC division, and just recently Taiwan-based BenQ bought Siemen's cell phone division. Sale of anti-spyware products expected to grow from $50 million in 2004 to almost $300 million by 2008, according to IDC group. 2:02:21 PM comment [] trackback []

Happy Father's Day (on business) As a businessman, and at the technology arena at that, it has always been a hypercompetitive industry. You need speed, and moreover, creativity and innovation. I have always prized those who use imagination to stand out of the crowd.... On this day when we celebrate Happy Father's Day, the advertisement of Durex Condoms stands out as one that is particularly innovative. I have seen other blogs carry it, and numerous emails and text messages that commented on it, and thus, with imagination, they were able to get the best bang out of their marketing and advertising dollars. Simple, direct to the point, delivers the punch, creates buzz. What an ad in today's information overloaded society should ideally be. 12:12:24 PM comment [] trackback []

LinkBlog 1 (Reviews) I am starting to include in my reading reviews also reviews of links -- effectively what industry would call a linkblog( first here, but soon only in my readings/linkblog category). Here I share some of the great web sites I read and track, which I have not had time to put into my blogroll, or those sites which needs to be initially explained why the site is so compelling. First is you should try to check out the site, Ask Dave Taylor. This is a great site where an industry guru answers( and he has answered over 500 of them) common questions on using technology, from windows xp, to ebay, to blogs, to playstations, to web design, and the like. To get started, you might want to check out his specific questions to the most popular questions he has been given, which many will also be of interest to you. Another great technology news site, in which the author presents a neat summary of updates is LastRider's blog. Pls. feel free to write me if you want to be included --- no promises.... Please note that my linkblog is very subjective. It has to be a blog I like, and it has to talk about issues that I am interested on, and consistent to my Bizdrivenlife tagline, ' a technology entrepreneur's take on winning in business ... and in life.'
