Entrepreneurial journey told by two students<\/h4>\n

Story written by, Tianyu Han Han<\/h5>\n

A freelance journalist, marketing manager, or project manager, I am a person with multiple identities, but\u00a0 today\u00a0 I\u00a0 will\u00a0 tell\u00a0 my\u00a0 story\u00a0 from\u00a0 the\u00a0 perspective\u00a0 of\u00a0 an\u00a0 entrepreneur.\u00a0 In the\u00a0 past many years, I have travelled to Southeast Asia all year round. I also published about 200 traveller journals on the Altruistic Traveller. My main aims and goals in life are to\u00a0 \u201cexplore, educate and share ways that we can bring compassion and ethics into our lives. \u201cI\u00a0 have\u00a0 worked\u00a0 in\u00a0 several\u00a0 international \u00a0organizations,\u00a0 and\u00a0 we\u00a0 are\u00a0 committed\u00a0 to\u00a0 promoting the\u00a0 idea\u00a0 of\u00a0 social\u00a0 and\u00a0 environmental\u00a0 awareness.\u00a0 My former\u00a0 position\u00a0 (2016-2021)\u00a0 was\u00a0 project manager and digital marketing strategist for Matter Design, until 2015 I had a 14-year career in retail operations, buying, and marketing before I leave a company unaligned with my value. I\u2018m never afraid of challenges because I\u2019m personally rewarded for the risks that I am taking. I trust in\u00a0 my\u00a0 intuition\u00a0 here\u00a0 and\u00a0 I\u00a0 feel\u00a0 like\u00a0 learning\u00a0 things\u00a0 every\u00a0 day,\u00a0 so\u00a0 I\u00a0 don\u2019 t\u00a0 feel\u00a0 like\u00a0 I\u2018 m\u00a0 not necessarily achieving as long as I try to do it, that\u2019s enough. Now\u00a0 I\u00a0 have\u00a0 taken\u00a0 my\u00a0 passion\u00a0 for\u00a0 social\u00a0 impact\u00a0 into\u00a0 a\u00a0 startup\u00a0 venture\u00a0 and\u00a0 founded SustainAffiliate,\u00a0 an\u00a0 affiliate\u00a0 network\u00a0 for \u00a0ethical,\u00a0 sustainable\u00a0 brands\u00a0 and\u00a0 content\u00a0 creators.\u00a0 My company theme is sustainable, and I think it\u2019s just taking that accountability as a founder and as an enterprise that it would. We will also put the customer experience in the first place. We are not just building one affiliate network, we are a warm company and a team with an attitude. This project\u00a0 is\u00a0 currently\u00a0 in\u00a0 the\u00a0 alpha\u00a0 phase\u00a0 of\u00a0 development,\u00a0 and\u00a0 I\u00a0 just\u00a0 always\u00a0 take\u00a0 one\u00a0 step\u00a0 forward and\u00a0 knowing\u00a0 that\u00a0 sustainability\u00a0 is\u00a0 still\u00a0 my\u00a0 priority,\u00a0 but\u00a0 it\u00a0 is\u00a0 like\u00a0 it’s\u00a0 going\u00a0 to\u00a0 be\u00a0 a\u00a0 longer\u00a0 journey than what I originally thought it was going to be. I will improve my plan step by step to achieve my goal.I continue to take a heart-led approach to my work, focusing on what I am passionate about and upholding my values of empathy and compassion. Passion and purpose are what drives me.<\/p>\n

I feel glad to have an interview with Bianca Caruana, who just started her business called Sustain Affiliate in Feb 2021. Through the interview with Bianca, I feel interested about the way she generates the business idea. Through the rich working experience and her inner passion for vlog shooting, which enabled her to better understand the market and customer trends. Her expertise and her motivation help her to have creative thinking and to generate good business ideas. But for a start-up business, she also faced a serious problem, which is financial funds. However, she discovered the problem immediately and decided to employ more part time jobs and utilized the connection effectively to seek more financing opportunities for herself. I feel the other interesting thing is the focus of the Sustain Affiliate, she said \u201cI noticed that user experience has not really come into the business, and that really can change customer convergence and to create competitive advantage. I don\u2019t scare of competition; it is healthy for my business to encourage me to run fast and think of other ideas.\u201d\u00a0 I was shocked when I heard that, it made me admire and respect her even more. I feel that confidence and courage of herself is more precious than knowledge, which gives the better attitude of life and likely to have the ability to put aside her fear of failure and take the next steps. Also, when I asked her about the business plan and goals, she said \u201cTaking one step at a time and working on architecture solutions.\u201d Also, when we discussed the impact of Covid 19, she took it in stride and saw it as a new opportunity as she said, \u201cit helps brands to understand there is a huge market space to consider.\u201d She gives me a feeling of an optimistic and positive attitude, which makes me realize that one\u2019s success is closely related to one\u2019s attitude. The last thing that attracted me was her motivation. She said \u201cI am easily motivated by achievement and inspiration, and tend to surround myself with people that inspire me. Also try to find inspiration and help me to know why I am doing and how to connect with people with deep conversation.\u201d This makes me understand that she is always looking for self-improvement and is not afraid of failure. She makes me understand that a person who is always looking for self-improvement enables that person to get ahead of himself and to find new opportunities.<\/p>\n
