Globalization Seminar, Spring, 2015

Starting a Business in Taiwan (April 17, 2015)

 Speaker: Elias Ek (CEO and Founder@Enspyre)
Epilogue
I think this seminar is really good for our international classmates who want to start their business in Taiwan. I feel Elias shared what would be the potential obstacles you might face when international students would like to open their own business and other hand, he also encourage us to do it whatever you like it. I like this kind of attitude: if you are doing something you really likes, you shall not give up easily until you try everything you could.
In this seminar, Elias shares his past entrepreneur experience and I could feel his passion about helping young entrepreneur from what he did in past years. (Consecutively invite government officers to exchange idea to let both sides know how to make entrepreneur resource better and better in
Taiwan.
I could strongly feel what a real entrepreneur it is from what Elias said, he thinks we should work
24 hours a day, or it really wastes of his time. I fully agree this and like this argument because if you are doing something you really enjoy, you will not think you are working even though it is not working hour. Instead, you will fully of energy to support you finish what you want to do.
From the feedback Elias answers our questions, I could feel Elias must put lots of resource and time to figure out what is the best business operation model for Enspyre through lots of failure in these years. In this case, Elias would be a good advisor for our international classmates when they met some problems here.
