EDDY'S ENTREPRENEURIAL EXPLORATION

All the thing about registration, from business name to domain name to getting a business name card. Actually I have done all these in a couple of weeks ago and again wanting to post it here. The business name was kind of a bit troublesome when you have no name in your mind at the first place. The small business that I want to do is something related to social media consultation. Bring on the 'social media' name and you will see thousands of social media agencies from Google. After a few hours of searching, I gave up, not worth the time spending on looking for those fancy positive words that still not link to 'social' or 'media'. So the best and simplest way, use your own name. And thus, 'Media Kuan Consulting' was born.  Buying the domain name was easy and super cheap. So I bought both www.mediakuan.com and www.mediakuanconsulting.com with the intention of linking or redirecting to the main name (which I will decide later when my website can go ...

I was discussing my first business model with my future or potential co-partner and as expected there were still many vague areas which he can't convince with my idea. After that, I tried to reflect on the main concerns and here's the list.  How to exactly extract/mine the data? Who is our actual targeted customers/ who will use our product? Who will really buy our product and why they should buy it? What is the detail work flow or process flow that your product is going through and how it actually works and will it really works? What is a clear value proposition of our product offering to our customers? As I tried to figure out the answer to those concerns, I think the main problem of my initial idea proposition was that t he problem is not clear, or probably there is no problem to solve at all. I n eed to define a clear product market fit and the minimum viable product. Although, Google can give me answer about what is a product market fit and what is minimum v...

It came to my surprise that, for more than 2 years I have not update my blog here about my MBA journey, there were some visitors based on the stats. I am not sure if they are just the google robots or are real people. But I will still continue writing something on this blog.  As I might be graduating soon with the MBA from the University of Strathclyde Business School, my learning does not ends here. I will try to write up more on my learning and reflection be it in business, entrepreneurship, startup as well as relationship. For about 3 years I embarked on the MBA program (it was supposed to be ended in 2 years but due to many reasons it was dragged), the journey was extremely tiring, challenging, emotionally-disturbing but with fun, awe-inspiring, motivating, great learning experience gained. The 3 years of silence here also means that I might not be a good blogger as I find blogging requires tremendous amount of dedication, discipline and courage. Again, I hope to write...

It's been a while since started the MBA program. I always wanted to blog it some where until now. A week after completed the last first semester exam. The first sem was a long, tough and frustrating studies but ended with encountering lots of unique experiences through getting to meet with many different types of people from managers to even a high profile ambassador.  First semester modules consist of Exploring International Business Environment, Marketing Management, Financial Management Accounting and Finance Financial Management.  The Exploring International Business Environment was the toughest assignment-only module where there's no need to sit for exam and the whole 100% marks will be based on the group assignment. T his is also where the study group get to interview the country's ambassador for the country of study. The group discussion was extremely dynamic and time consuming.  The Marketing Management was the most interesting module to study as it involves ge...
