Posted by Fione Tan, internet marketing coach in Beijing
I’ve just flew in on Friday morning to Beijing to participate in a chinese entrepreneurs global forum in Beijing, China. This morning, i have received the women entrepeneur award and had a chance to share my award acceptance speech below. As i was not well-versed in Mandarin, i was given the opportunity to give my speech in English, followed by in Mandarin.
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a great honor for me to stand here today. My name is Fione Tan, and I am one of many women who were nominated for this award, and I can tell that each of them is worthy of this award. I am really excited that I won the Honour of Outstanding Chinese Women in Entrepreneurship for 2009 and want to thank you for supporting me. Your support means a lot to me. It is the recognition of my hard work.
After graduating from USA, I returned home to Malaysia and started my career in the financial service industry. After 2 years, I finally woke up and realized I hated my job. Why? I kept asking myself. It was then I learnt that I have not been following my heart and at that point I decided to quit my job and follow my passion.
To share a quote from Napoleon Hill, “A goal is a dream with a deadline”. I realized my passion was for the Internet, and there will never be a better time than today. Thus I started an Internet Marketing Company. That was how www.eOneNet.com was born in 2000 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Today, eOneNet.com is the No.1 Internet Marketing Coaching company. We have regional offices in Singapore and Hong Kong while we self-own 2 offices in Malaysia.
Let me share with you a story, my customer Ryan was taking photos of his products at a park in Hong Kong, and two little kids approached him and asked, what was he doing? Ryan simply ignored them and continued to snap the photos. The 7 year old boy immediately said, “Well, I know what you’re doing. You’re taking photos of these items and will sell them on the Internet!” Even little kids love the Internet and by choosing an Industry that the Young generation is already using, our business will surely excel!
Since my early years I was sure that the Internet will change how the world do business. Not only am I talking about creating websites, but also the tremendous new opportunities the Internet can give to individuals or small business entrepreneurs to actually compete with bigger companies. Now, anyone can sell their merchandise to global customers with just clicks of a mouse.
China is now the World’s No.1 Internet population. In 2008, online shopping in China increased 128%. While ecommerce spending has been increasing by leaps and folds since its launch, most companies have not really made money online. As an Internet Marketing Coach, my specialty is to help companies increase online sales and improve ROI of their company marketing campaigns. I am sure that a business owner, particularly should look for ways to improve the company branding and use effective techniques to gain more customers.My story of success was started when I decided to become an entrepreneur at the age of 21. Most people was shocked to see such a young girl as a CEO. This award today is an addition to my other business awards, including one of which is the 2008 Malaysia Top 10 Women in Business. In the Internet world, I was sometimes referred to as the Queen of Internet Marketing. Being the youngest recipient, I was excited to win the award that was presented to me by a real Queen, The Queen of Malaysia.
Nowadays, I traveI between my homes in Malaysia and Hong Kong. I am very glad to announce that we, eOneNet.com are now starting our CHINA operations and will soon be able to help more China brands and Chinese manufacturers improve export volume via the Internet. Since 2000, over 30,000 entrepreneurs from all around the world has attended our internet marketing seminars and we have created many internet millionaires from Asia. Our upcoming seminar in China will include a session in Beijing in November and I invite all of you to participate in that event too.
I believe that one should work hard and play hard. Therefore, one of the main benefits I’ve derived from running an Internet business is that I can work anywhere, anytime. However, in all businesses, it takes team work, not only from the company team but also a supportive environment from loved ones. I am also very grateful to my family, and my caring husband.
I also want to thank my customers who demonstrate me that I have much to strive for in my profession. I am always glad to help entrepreneurs and business owners, improve their Internet income. I like to share the joy in them when they see their brand ranked No.1 in popular search engines like Baidu, Google and Yahoo, or when they tell me how many new orders they have received after doing Internet Marketing.
I am sure that each of you can say the same – we often have that extremely pleasant feeling of satisfaction from helping people to improve themselves. Though we all live in different cities, we have something in common: it is our striving for better. We work on it and we succeed. Before ending, let me share with you a quote from Napoleon Hill,
“Success has no limits. A truly successful person will never stop pushing themselves towards their goals. The “ladder of success” keeps going, and your success keeps growing with every new step you take.”
And I am glad I can say this: Let us all create new ideas, new opportunities and make the world better. Thank you!
