Dear all friends,
Over the last 2 months, I have been approached by 10 friends, each with very interesting business proposals. Some of them have business proposals that span the globe and run into millions of dollars of income. Others are more subdue, but none of them conflicts with what I am doing now - coaching and training.
After thinking for 2 nights with some meditations, I conclude that I have to evaluate each proposal not based on how attractive they are in terms of money and business models, but what type of people that I am working with.
Without a pinch of doubt, I only can work with people that share the same values and philosophies as me. I am not interested in just making money, there must also be meaning in the way I make the money. Also, the business must contribute to mankind, and not just some ideas to take advantage of opportunities. That's why I think these 5 businesses I will never deal with: computerized trading, gambling, medicine that harms people, night entertainment and alcohol. There are 5 businesses that are top of my list:
- Education, especially those that transform people and give them a lifeline
- Sales and Marketing, anything that helps a business to do better in sales and marketing
- People empowerment, anything that empowers employees and make their work safer and easier
- Entertainment, those that are wholesome and interesting, not boring stuff
- Engineering solutions, because I believe engineering improves our lives
If you and your businesses fall under the above 5 list, I would be working with you closely. Any businesses that are outside this list, but within my values and philosophy, I will also be working hard with you. Hope this clarifies. Thank you
With love from Andy Ng, Chief Trainer Coach, www.asiatrainers.com
