About Me
Greetings! I'm excited to introduce myself as someone whose journey through business and craftsmanship has been diverse and rewarding. With an MBA, three published books, and several startups, I've ventured into many fields—from tantalizing taste buds with Chinese cuisine to launching revolutionary startups.
From Chopsticks to Contracts: My entrepreneurial journey began with a charming Chinese restaurant, where I loved creating flavors that delighted our guests. After that, I moved into the wholesale business, where I honed my skills in spotting trends and negotiating deals to help businesses thrive.
Fueling the Startup Revolution: My passion for innovation led me to a groundbreaking startup that transformed the handyman industry. I've worked to improve how people experience household services, focusing on convenience and efficiency through innovative solutions.
Educational Innovation: I founded the CBE Institute with a mission to make MBA-level education accessible to everyone. We're breaking down barriers to learning, ensuring that valuable business knowledge and skills are within reach, regardless of financial or time constraints. Our unique CBE learning methodology not only imparts essential business acumen but also empowers students to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams.
In today's versatile world, I've learned to seamlessly switch between roles—from business strategist to hands-on craftsman. My journey reflects my relentless passion, curiosity, and commitment to excellence.
What I Offer: Unlike other instructors who may just sell courses, I'm here to provide real value and build lasting relationships. When you purchase and complete one of my courses on Udemy, you'll receive:
Half off any of my books on my website.
A free copy of my 100-day Sales School Master Class, teaching you everything you need to know about sales to jumpstart your business.
Six months of free membership to a premium job board website.
