Advice from Bryan Peh for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
“Go for it, start now. It’s never too late to act upon it. Don’t let fear be in the way, be okay being vulnerable, accept your shortcomings, work on it and strategise goals to reach your dreams. Work out the baby steps on how do you want to propel yourself closer to your goals. As my acting coach (Mr. Kamil Haque) drilled into us, “Do whatever you want, anything you can, just don’t be an asshole!”. SO, do not harm anyone in the process. Figure out the longevity of the passion, are you going to stick through it even when there’s no longer passion? Along the journey, you will understand yourself better and the answers you gathered will help you make the most well informed decision at any point of time. Also practise resilience as much as you can because you will hear a lot of noises, and in those times, remember to be open, analyse the feedbacks. If it is true, are there room to improve? If it is a false impression, disregard it.”
