Deng Xiao Ping: “It doesn’t matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.” So it doesn’t matter if you are a man or woman, just as long as you can meet your deliverables.

Women have been meeting and even exceeding expectations that the bosses and peers have on them. From an entrepreneur point of view, I invested so much time in my business  and forgot to love and pamper myself. Time for spa, massage, getaways are always at the back of my mind. Someone even shared with me in my earlier of my careers that I have not worked hard enough and I do not deserve to rest. At that time, I am working 7 days a week and still do not deserve a break. That’s pathetic! Some of the businesswomen I met  have lost their feminine touch because of how the business world has shaped them. Before I started True North Asia, I made a promise to myself that my team will be built with strong women who will be working and pampering themselves at the same time.

Today, I met with one well known photographer and artist, Jen Siow. He impressed me with his vast understanding about women. Jen spent 30 years perfecting his art and craft and in doing so creating his personal style of Art Portraiture. When I am admiring the photos of the woman next door in his gallery, I can feel that every woman has a story to tell and a personal brand statement behind it.

At the very moment, it reinforced the thoughts that I always have in my mind. Women must learn how to appreciate and love themselves. Just like in Sex and the City 1, Samantha broke up with one of her boyfriend by telling him, ”I love you but I love myself more. I have loved myself for the last 49 years.”

Through your own self portrait, we make a statement of own success and a legacy to pass down for generations. My desire and dream is to create opportunities for women to discuss business over wine and leisure and create your own investment wardrobe of alternative investment. Building financial and time freedom of doing things that we love is the belief that I have.

I will be holding a wine and arts appreciation session for women only. Ladies, stay excited for the event to be held soon by True North Asia and Jen Studio.
