To all the entrepreneurs out there making the world a better place through the businesses that they create

This book would not be possible without the lessons and experiences that made me the person I am today. As I look upon my entrepreneurship journey, there are many people who have touched my life, and I would like to acknowledge them here. This is by no means an exhaustive list, especially since it spans decades.

First of all, I have to thank my parents and family members for making me the person Ive become. If not for the fact that I have tremendously supportive parents, I wouldnt be the person I am today. For that, Im eternally grateful.

My business partners are the most important people in my life, and whom I trust 100%. These two people have travelled my entrepreneurial journey with me and helped shape the person I am now. Thank you to: Jervis Lee, Vodien; Alvin Huang, Truegenics.

Next is definitely the team of Vodien and Truegenics. It has been an incredible journey and I thank you all for being part of it with me.

Vodien was a business that would have continued to struggle with manpower issues had our business associates not helped us find a solution through the resources that they had in the Philippines. Id like to especially thank: San Singhania, Lantone Systems; Nagender Rao Chilkuri, Travel Cue Management.

When I went to university, I had a burning desire to see the world and wanted to study abroad. Singapore Management University (SMU) was the only school that had an overseas component. Id like to thank the Dean of the School of Information Systems then, Steven Miller, who accepted my application and inspired me to make the most of my education in SMU.

Im grateful that the team at SMU has helped me so much in starting and facilitating my scholarship fund. This has allowed me to impact students and was the genesis of coaching others. This scholarship fund has, in turn, opened many doors that I could not have imagined. Id like to especially thank: Ho Kwon Ping; Sam Wu; Florence Tan; Wai Leng Chan.

My marketing coaches, to whom my career as an entrepreneurship coach would not have happened. Thank you to: Melvin Soh, X-Factor Marketing; Josiah Tan, X-Factor Marketing.

Thank you to my buddies who have supported me, encouraged me, gave me ideas, and pushed me to do more. Special thanks go to: Clement Wong; Michael Lin, Auston Institute; Rio Lim; Hong Ting Wong, 2359 Media; Willie Lee, Big 3 Media; Derrick Chew, Sight Lines Entertainment; Alan Phua, Alchemy Foodtech; Anna Haotanto, ABZD Capital.

The journey that I took to develop the 5E Scale Engine and coach other entrepreneurs would not be possible without bouncing ideas and getting trusted advice. Thank you: Amanda Zhong, AOS Bath.

The largest acquisition deal that I went through was because of Dreamscape Networks, and they were a partner whom I saw many commonalities together with. Thank you: Mark Evans, CEO of Dreamscape Networks.

Starting a new journey is always difficult. I am greatly honoured and grateful for my first batch of masterclass participants, as well as my first batch of coaching clients. Thank you all for trusting me to bring you further and giving me the confidence to continue with this new segment in my life.

Asking why is a way of thinking that I encourage people to adopt and incorporate in their lives. Its been what drove me to do everything that I did from civil society, business, education and academia, and journalismand ultimately created who I am today. This approach of asking why about the world is present in many aspects of the book that Alvin has written.
