I've mentioned him so many times in my articles, and quoted him so many times in my conversations; now ladies and gentlemen, please meet my mentor and business partner, Lim Eng Hai!

If you feel like you've seen him before, you're probably right: Eng Hai has appeared on numerous interviews on Channel News Asia and financial programs like Money Mind. He has an impressive track record in the stock broking world, first as the former Director of Research in JM Sassoon, and then the CEO of SIAS (Security Investors Association of Singapore) Research.
He's widely respected in the world of investment, and generally regarded as an expert in the field.

Yet there is another side of Eng Hai that the world hasn't yet been fully exposed to: he is a coach to people who wants to make their lives better, and a very good one at that :)

I first met Eng Hai in 2002, when I was a web designer. Back then, I was a shy, socially inept young boy, and I was starting to experience burnout from my work as a designer. I wanted to do "something better" than designing, and make more money, yet I didn't know where to start. Eng Hai offered to show me how I could do "a big business with little capital": Network Marketing with Unicity.

So for the next 2 years, I followed Eng Hai closely, eager to learn the ropes of building up my networking career. And Eng Hai was a very patient teacher: because of my shy, retiring nature, talking to people was a major challenge to me, and yet that was what I had to do as a Networker. I was told, at some point, one of Eng Hai's contemporaries, who was a HR trainer, said that my case was too difficult and he wouldn't spend that much time helping me. But Eng Hai was adamant: "So long as he wants it, I will continue to help him."

As long as someone wants to become better than they already are in life, Eng Hai is willing to Empathize, Engage, Empower, Encourage, and as a result of their growth, Enrich their lives. This is what he calls the 5Es, and he's been helping people achieve breakthroughs with it. Under his tutelage and guidance, I have become a confident, driven young man - a far cry from the shy boy that I used to be! I would never have thought this change possible, as with the HR trainer. He helped me see the potential I had within myself :)

Eng Hai is generally well-known and popular with the people who knows him. In Team Rich, the team we belong to, he's regarded as one of the best trainers and speakers around. When an event requires a high powered emcee, he's always the first candidate that comes to mind. Walking with him in commercial areas, like Raffles Place, can be quite an experience: there'll always be someone on the streets, or in the cafe, or around the offices that would know Eng Hai, sometimes by reputation too! And I tell myself "Wow, I want to be popular like that too, someday."


To me, Eng Hai is almost like an icon for empowerment, and its truly an honor for me to be mentored by him. Thank you for the care and guidance, Eng Hai! Here's to many more years of fun and partnership in business. Cheers!
