3 Different Roles for Employees, Managers and Entrepreneurs

Contrary to popular thinking, you don't need to be an Entrepreneur to be rich. The point is not how much limit you can earn as an employee or manager, but how much limit have you placed on yourself?

Be a No-Limits Person: Expand Your Knowledge and You'll Achieve More!

Our education system prepares us for the technical skills, but we know that it is the non technical skills that will make us stand out and be successful. Such important skills include selling our ideas, inter-personal skills, how to deal with difficult people, how to follow smartly and how to be coached and be teachable.

There is simply no one that can limit your income. You need to know what what's most important in your role, which are summarized as follows:

Manager - To Grow Employees

This is about creating a dynamic workplace where the efforts you make with your employees today will blossom into success for years to come. It includes listening to them, preparing their mind for more responsibility, coaching them and guiding them to take more risks.

Most importantly, it is to duplicate your success into them so that the organization will have sustainable growth. If you cannot duplicate your success, you only your success, no team success.

Employee - To Grow Your Knowledge

Make no mistake, you don't aim to earn the most as an employee, you aim to learn the most so that you become the one that everyone wants to hire. The model employee of is Da Yu, who lived in China around 3,500 BCE. Da Yu was so dedicated in his work of flood control that he did not go home for 13 years. His boss, the Shun Emperor, pass him the throne and thus started the Xia Dynasty that lasted 600 years.

The most important skill an employee must possess is Followership. This is not blind followership but smart followership.

Entrepreneur or Bosses - To create new value and New income

No point having a business that only produces what everyone does, but have a business that creates value, like Google or WeChat.

The most important skill for an entrepreneur is business-building skills, which include marketing, selling and customer-service excellence.  The following course (listing at www.asiatrainers.com) is suitable for managers:

What an Executive Coach and Business Coach Does

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
