“The business starting path and strategic advice for start-ups aren’t easy. I myself have encountered many difficulties and challenges. Especially the first time, like many other start-ups, I felt pressured and lonely because I didn’t receive any support from family, relatives and friends. But thanks to the steel spirit that I gained from the martial arts study of my childhood, I did never mind the hardships. And my reality proves : no difficulty can make falling the brave man”- Tran Thuong say.

Because I believe that pratical experiment is the most valuable lesson. If you want to start a business, you have to go into the market and practice as soon as possible. However, I do not encourage the young people to invest time and finance in projects without the real understanding. Instead, they’ve to cultivate, explore and learn them-selves, just start their business whenever they’re really ready”.
