The author of this book, Tan Xili, has written a legendary entrepreneurial myth through her own experiences. She has achieved more than her dreams. She began her life in Kowloon, Hong Kong, and gradually grew into an influential business leader, speaker, consultant, writer, and respected philanthropist. In her teens, she left Hong Kong alone with just two suitcases to study in the United States. She proved that success is possible even from a low starting point. In the United States, she had few connections and no small circles, English was not her native language. She did not attend a prestigious university but only a state university. In a male-dominated world of top talents, she was just one woman. However, she tells us the secret to success: leverage the conditions you have to achieve success. She has held important roles in many world-renowned companies, including May Department Stores, Britannia Sportswear, Miller Brewing, Nike, Reebok, and Avon. While becoming a renowned business leader, Xili was also one of the founders of the World Peace 2000 Network, established in 1996. She also served on the board of directors of Reebok's Human Rights Award alongside former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2000, and later she herself received the Reebok Human Rights Award.
The book shares her experiences from her tenure in companies like Reebok, Nike, Avon, and Britannia. She summarizes her success secrets into four principles and shares them with readers without reservation. She weaves these four success principles into every case of her career development, making this book practical and effective, providing lifelong guiding principles. We believe these principles will serve as a lighthouse-like guide.
