James Sun, host of Channel NewsAsia’s Sun Tzu: War On Business
James Sun whose business insights and strategies that made him a millionaire at 22.
James is the first Asian male to land a spot on Donald Trump’s hit reality show “The Apprentice.” The show aired for 14 weeks on prime-time television, and James made it all the way through 14 weeks as a finalist in the competition. James was the first Asian finalist in the history of the show.
From a 6-figure income Sales & Marketing Executive to an Entrepreneur.
James wanted to start his own Company and take the risk and initiative to solve a problem. "There is definitely a risk factor in starting your own Company and going out and leaving a comfortable salary. But you what, in life you only live once. And if you don't take risk, what's the fun in it?"
James on Apprentice: "The whole show is about leadership. It's about showing your business acumen in a leadership position and so if you look at the previous winners, they've all had winning records project managers."
Arnold Schwarzenegger: "It's about being Hungry. It's all about how willing are you going through your pain barrier. That's what it's all about."
James: "I'm the current CEO of Zoodango.com (currently known as Geopage.com) and that is a company I started from concept all the way to what it is today. So I'm the visionary, I'm the strategist and I actually align all the people to do the details so yes I can do both details and I can see the bigger picture."
James speaking on Class 95: "Failure is part of life. It builds character. Don't dwell on failures! Get up right away!"
"Just like dominoes, if they are far apart, and 1 tip it won't hit the other. But if they are close together, when 1 tip, there will be the domino effect and all will tip. So Practise the Thought of Daily Success. Think Positive and Optimistic Daily for 365days and you'll have a great year!"
