Belynda Lee Interview Published on: 12, Jan 2021

My most cherished moments were spent with Grandpa Lee, Lee Yat Man. He thought me at a very young age the basics of how to be a good human being and show me how he ran his timber business, I still use a lot of his strategies when I run my company now.

I have always wanted to own my own business and be my own boss.

Everyone has a story and it is totally up to the individual to want to share part of his/her life with the world. Everyone has a choice to teach, inspire, and motivate someone else's life.

The simplest successful idea is the create a business that solves the majority of people's problems, if you can solve someone else's problem you will have a lucrative business.

Since the book was based on my story, the majority of my research was based on timelines of when my ancestors immigrated to South East Asia. I read a lot of leadership and motivational stuff all my life, and those materials helped me with my book.

Start with the Main Idea, determine who you are writing to, create an outline, start off with a strong chapter, and end with a memorable chapter so it leaves your reader inspired and content. Most importantly, write authentically cause any reader can pick up where it's not real. Facts are important and make sure you paint a picture as you write, you want your readers to see what you see.

Trust, Loyalty, Honesty, and Sincerity.

Try to be a focused writer, sometimes you can feel empty of words and thoughts and if you do - take a few days off to get inspired, but come back to it quick before you move too far away from your main idea.

Young professionals think that being a leader is quick and simple. Leadership is not a microwave proposition but a long and continuous process of learning and growing, with trials and errors. It takes experience to be a good leader.

By empowering women, it helps them feel that they are not alone and there are resources out there that could help them become a better version of themselves. Empowered women are also educated women who will contribute more to the economy by working hence global debts are reduced with more people earning an income because, at the end of the day, educated women are more employable than uneducated individuals.

If you are not online, you will soon be offline, and that goes with any business ideas. Make sure the business is trending with the world economy.

Born leaders led naturally. A tip for all leaders out there, make sure you take your followers to the finish line and don't lead too fast or no one will be able to follow alongside you.

Being part of multimillion-dollar acquisitions is not an easy feat, it takes planning, mapping out the blueprint of the acquisition, merging human resources between the companies, and addressing cultural differences if there are any. My experience with acquisition can be highly stressful because there are people involved, however, things always work out at the end of the day.

I am still deciding on my next book, if time permits, it will be another self-help book focusing on personal growth, being a leader at home and at work. Having leadership in life is pretty much a proven success in anything that you do.

I joined AllAuthor recently (someone enrolled me) however I haven't had the chance to experience it fully due to my schedule, what I see with AllAuthor seems to have a nice community that connects authors around the world.
