I discovered a very interesting blog about entrepreneurship that discuss 10 reasons you should move to Asia to start your business. Since I’m originated from Asia, there are a lot of connection that I can make with Sean’s experience in Vietnam.
In Asia, everything is cheap compare to Canada and USA. For instance, food, drinks, even transportation is cheaper in Asian counties. This is crucial for starting a business, low cost equals more savings, reducing cost is definitely an advantage to new entrepreneurs.
Sean has another point about inexpensive talent. Workers in Asian counties are very talented; he/she has the receives higher degree of education has knowledge to help a company grow. As an entrepreneur, starting a business in Asian counties can save on employment expenses. In addition, working with different ethnicity of people around the world, is a great way to learn new things due to the diversity in thinking.
After reading Sean’s blog, I realized that I already have the opportunities to work with people around the world. UBC is a internationally recognise university, and Sauder is a place where a lot of countries’ citizens are gather together. It is a great experiences to hear each other’s stories and learn form one another.
