KEY TAKEAWAYS
There was not a single part of me that was entrepreneurial until there was the need.
I find life as an entrepreneur very fulfilling and know its who I am.
For me being an entrepreneur was about having a direct connection to what I wanted to do and who I wanted to be.
The direct fulfilment loop is what makes being an entrepreneur worthwhile.
Everybody has a journey and most at the beginning will have a period as an employee.
It’s vital to invest in yourself.
The success of your business and what you achieve is a direct result of you and your world.
My success and motivation are about the contribution I can make to other people.
We are all continually evolving and the learning journey is continual.
It a learning journey for any individual to be able to speak the truth and be themselves.
It’s important to systemise, create a brand value and position yourself.
As a buyer of a business, you look at the person who is running the business.
Invest in mentorship, coaching and mastermind programs

ABOUT THE GUEST
Bingbing has many job titles, mother of two crazy boys, entrepreneur, coach/mentor, property investor, financial and joint venture strategist, wife, daughter, friend, armature yogi, keen runner... But first and foremost, she is... Bingbing, founded multi-million £ property business, passionate about teaching & supporting everyone to achieve their freedom through entrepreneurship. Yet, her journey to the business world was totally unexpected. Born in a poverty-stricken family in China during the very communist days when meals were dished out using coupons, she studied and worked her way out of China, then Singapore, The Netherlands and eventually, the UK. She always thought life has one path: study hard, get good grades then good jobs, work hard to keep your job, get married, have children, pay off mortgage... tadah, you can claim success. If life didn't throw her a curveball in the form of a child with special needs, she would have stayed in her hibernation as a "high-flying" employee forever. But life did and after paying A LOT for therapy, life's path completely changed.
