Two weeks ago on a Sat morning, I was a guest speaker at HKU Business School to share with the students on the MBA entrepreneurship course. It was about my personal journey as an entrepreneur as well as pivoting through the different career shifts from corporate to entrepreneur to venture capital to family office. In addition to sharing practical entrepreneurship concepts, practical business models (examples) social innovation concepts (examples), common startup failure issues, leadership style, personal values & entrepreneurial mindset, this cohort of smart students were eager to delve deeper during the extended Q&A session. Interestingly, the questions posed were deep. Maybe this was the last session so the students had time to reflect throughout the course. The ones I vividly recall were: * how did you manage to pivot into the different careers? * what key skills that saw you through these career shifts? * how did you decide to leave your corporate position to be part of an entrepreneurial team? * how do you define success in life? * what one big advice you would suggest before we do a startup? Thank you to the MBA class for the stimulating questions that helped me reflect on my life journey too. And a big thank you to Prof Lam for inviting me. #mba #entrepreneurship #HKUMBA
