My dad once followed 3m behind me when I was doing old-school door-to-door sales three years ago. He was afraid I would get kidnapped.

My usually shy mom invited her friends to my product fair, hosted her friends and started selling products for me.

Most significantly, my two years of junior college were a constant struggle of staying afloat in my studies. This led to my desperate quest of discovery to find something that I truly enjoyed and was actually good at. I started studying powerful principles and teachings from American self-help authors Napoleon Hill and Dr John Demartini, just to name a few.

So for years, I hid my side gigs from my parents. Deep inside, I didn’t believe I could make a living from them. I decided it was time to have an honest conversation with my parents and share with them that I really want to build my own business instead of working a nine-to-five job.
