ABOUT
Hi! I'm Eric Y Chen and this is my story
I am an entrepreneur who decided it wasn’t too late to quit the 9-5. After a traumatic car accident, I was left bedridden for several months, missing internal organs, and a 9-inch scar straight down my stomach. I decided life was definitely too short to be working for “the man”. While I was fortunate enough to land a phenomenal position at Google on the sales team. I didn’t find it fulfilling. Day after day, grinding on the phone talking to business owners, I discovered I was on the wrong side of the telephone.
I was making Google millions in sales while I was getting paid a small commission. My job was to provide marketing strategies to business owners and I began to notice a trend. I began reading books throughout my recovery and I had read the 4-Hour Workweek, and so many of these business owners mentioned that the book had changed their lives. They were self-made entrepreneurs doing 6-7 figures, or small teams running 8 figure in revenue a year.
The grass didn’t necessarily seem greener on the other side, but the idea to tend to your own grass, water it, nourish it, and to make your own grass so green, Google would be calling MY business. I was hooked. After a short 6 months, I gave Google a 3-month notice that I was leaving to start my own business (They decided to keep me until month 9 since I was hitting 300%+ of quota). This was the start to my entrepreneurial journey.

We're focused on delivering valuable insights from entrepreneurs who've gone through the test of time
Without direction, there is no destination. We find out the reasons WHY entrepreneurs work so hard to achieve success. We understand that it is never easy. Currently, Social Media has created a world where people like to flex their success, from their fancy cars to stacks of money, but they never show you the blood sweat and tears along the way.
What ends up happening is that people jump into business or something new without the right expectations and quit once they don’t see success in a short period of time. I’m on a mission to bring you those who’ve gone through their own trials and tribulations, whose businesses took years to build. I’m uncovering the motivation behind those people when they were about to lose their business, their home, fallen ill, but stuck it through and found a way. We discuss a purpose that is much greater than passion, I discuss their WHY. Tune in to find out WHY these amazing individuals do what they do and how they continue towards that path of success!
