Adrian Choo is the One and Only Career Strategist in Asia and is the founder of Career Agility International. In three years, he helped more than one thousand clients successfully achieve clarity to enjoy a happier and even more successful career!
Adrian wanted to start a business again after his first entrepreneurial stint. So he sat down with friends and brainstormed business ideas. They created a company doing electronic marketing. They got funded, ran it, and engineered many groundbreaking technologies in electronic marketing, data analytics, and lifestyle marketing.
Adrian and his friends ran the business for three years. They were successful at first but had difficulty scaling it. Eventually, they decided to call it a day and go their separate ways.
You have to make mistakes to learn from them. But on the flip side of it, it’s better to learn from other people’s mistakes. If you want to go into business and be an entrepreneur, Adrian recommends that you watch all seven seasons of Shark Tank, the American version.
Adrian’s goal for the next 12 months is to help another 1,000 people get more career clarity and enjoy and refocus their lives around their careers and everything else that’s important to them.
“Stay tuned to Andrew Stotz; he knows his stuff. So, learn a lot from him. He’s the best or the worst.”
