My past and present experiences with business management are very diversified.
I am a very unusual guy with ISTJ personality type. I write about business on daily basis. I teach business management for a living at one of the international schools in China. I manage my own online business. I invest family money in different asset classes. Also, I am also a vivid collector of business and economics books having a few hundred positions in my private library. I am not a businessman, I am a business, man!
You can find more details in the AUTHOR me section. You will perhaps easily notice that you do not know many people like me, but let me assure you, I know a lot of people like you.
Personally, I enjoy value investing, outdoor sports, drinking cold Coke, eating Burger King hamburgers and playing with my two small children – YangYang, the boy, who is almost 4-years-old and AnAn, the girl, who is almost 2-months-old.
Now, let’s take about the money.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
When I was a teenager, I used to observe my father who was an entrepreneur developing his own business. I was working with him occasionally during weekends and summer holidays to help him out while earning my first money. It was a valuable lesson of both hard work and seeing first-hand how the service business works from the inside.
BUSINESS EDUCATION
Regarding my education, I graduated in Beijing from one the TOP20 universities in the world. I hold BA Degree in Business Management, MA Degree in Business Journalism and a bunch of Postgraduate Certificates in international Business Education.
A. STUDYING BUSINESS MANAGEMENT IN COLLEGE
After graduating from high school, I studied business in college and received double bachelor’s degree (Honors) in Business Administration and in Management. I took a vast range of business courses covering all four business functions such as Marketing, Finance, Human Resources and Production (Operations) plus many more credit-level classes in Mathematics and Statistics, Politics, Ethics, Business Law, Philosophy, Creating Writing, Art, etc.
B. STUDYING BUSINESS JOURNALISM IN GRADUATE SCHOOL
In my early twenties, I went to graduate school to study journalism where I earned my master’s degree. You can find my memories of studying business journalism at Tsinghua University in this article.
BUSINESS WORKSHOPS PARTICIPANT
While spending six years the various universities, I was invited to participate in multiple workshops, seminars and conferences on business management. These events were organized by world’s leading multinational companies such as General Electric (GE) and Procter & Gamble (P&G), or a management consulting giant McKinsey & Company.
TEACHING BUSINESS FOR A LIVING
In my professional career, for over 15 years, I have been living in China with my family of four where I teach business management and business studies in China at one of the international schools.
I work with people from different cultures for someone else’s company as a full-time employee.
EXAMINER IN BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
Additionally, I work as a business management examiner for someone else’s company as a contractor.
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF BUSINESS MEDIA
In addition to theoretical aspects of business education, I have hands-on experience owning my profitable online business as the Founder and Editor-in-chief of Super Business Manager (SBM). I write about business management for my global audience, teaches business on daily basis for a living at one of the international schools and managers his own online business on the Internet.
It is a small but fast-growing project that makes business education accessible to everyone in the world. I provide quality business resources while writing for the global audience. I am also a published author as my news articles on business education and business management were published in both international and local media including China Daily or Warsaw Business Journal.
WEALTH MANAGER
Personally, I have been managing my family finance as a private wealth manager for the last 15 years achieving approximately 20% growth year-on-year. When it comes to investing money, I have experience in purchasing shares of public limited companies listed on the stock exchange in the US, investing in residential real estate and buying banking products.
COLLECTING BUSINESS BOOKS
As a hobby, I collect business and economics books out of passion to establish my own library at home. I am a vivid collector of business and economics books – I currently have a few hundred positions in my private library.
I like this quote from a Jay Z song: ‘I am not a businessman. I am a business, man’. Jay Z speaks like this about himself as the owner of the clothing line, the bar, sports brands, etc. I like using this quote to describe myself when it comes to my personal involvement in a variety of business areas – working in business education, practicing business journalism, conducting business research, developing the online business, etc.
Well, I assure you that I know a lot of people like you, but you perhaps do not know many people like me.
