At 19, University of Technology student T\u1ea1 Minh Tu\u1ea5n began doing business with an event-based social networking project. When it failed, he shifted to the idea of building a home doctor business model, aiming not only to create economic value but also to positively impact the community. The idea emerged from the belief that most illnesses could be completely prevented if people practiced prevention, maintained healthy lifestyles, and received regular health checkups. In 2009, he and a group of friends turned the idea into reality.<\/p>\n

This is Vietnam's first \u201cPersonal Doctor \u2013 Healthcare at Home\u201d model. After one year of operation, Help International raised 14 billion VND from investors. Help International's initiative to develop a family doctor system using the advantages of science and technology earned Tu\u1ea5n recognition from the British Council, CSIP and The One Foundation as one of Vietnam's 15 outstanding social entrepreneurs in 2011. Making the most of the benefits of the internet, Help International now serves more than 10 thousand customers nationwide with only a few dozen doctors and nurses in Ho Chi Minh City. Through this model, Tu\u1ea5n has helped many patients take an active role in their own care and opened a modern direction for the country's healthcare.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\nT\u1ea1 Minh Tu\u1ea5n<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(Photo provided by the subject) Looking at the resounding success of this personal doctor model, few people know that he began his entrepreneurial journey because of his father\u2019s cancer. Striving to overcome his own pain, Tu\u1ea5n wanted to do something to help people live healthier lives. \u2018Because of my father\u2019s cancer, I wanted to work in healthcare to care for and help patients like him. My father\u2019s cancer was a source of \u201cpain\u201d for our entire family. I started a business because I wanted to address that \u201cpain.\u201d This is my motivation, my reason, my answer to the questions: Why must I do what I am doing? Why must I start a business?\u2019 T\u1ea1 Minh Tu\u1ea5n shared.<\/p>\n Honored Twice by Forbes T\u1ea1 Minh Tu\u1ea5n has a distinctive view of experience and failure: \u201cExperience earlier. Fail earlier. Succeed earlier. Contribute to the community for longer. Live a more meaningful life.\u201d<\/p>\n So he always allows himself to take on challenges in different fields. Now, having just turned 30, he is chairman and founder of more than 10 organizations across fields from business to social activities. He believes each person's most valuable assets are health and wisdom. Therefore, his projects are all built on 3 foundations: physical strength, intellectual strength, and inner strength. Besides the \u2018Personal Doctor \u2013 Home Healthcare\u2019 model, in 2011 Tu\u1ea5n became President of BNI Master Chapter, part of the global business networking organization in Vietnam (BNI \u2013 Business Network International, currently the world's largest business networking organization), and the youngest chapter president in BNI's history. That same year, he founded YUP Education to train and support entrepreneurs in Vietnam. In 2013, Tu\u1ea5n founded and led JCI Central Chapter in Vietnam (Junior Chamber International), currently the world's largest federation of young leaders and entrepreneurs. In 2015, he became National Training Director of JCI Vietnam.<\/p>\n With that impressive entrepreneurial record, in 2015 Tu\u1ea5n was selected by Forbes, the world's leading business magazine, among Vietnam's Top 30 young people with the most notable success and influence. More surprisingly, the very next year, Forbes again selected him among Asia's most successful and influential young people. That same year, he became Chairman and CEO of TMT Group. In 2017, Tu\u1ea5n appeared on the list of \u2018Influential Entrepreneurs in Vietnam and the World\u2019 announced by UNESCO at its congress in France. Also in 2017, he was one of 8 global healthcare leaders selected by healthcare corporation Johnson & Johson to attend the One Young World Global Summit. He was also the only Asian representative on that list.<\/p>\n Inspiring Young People to Start Businesses Having ventured out very early, Tu\u1ea5n has profound experience of entrepreneurship and a business's development lifecycle. He is therefore regarded as Vietnam's number one entrepreneurship training expert.<\/p>\n To strengthen intellectual and inner capacity, Tu\u1ea5n founded YUP Education in 2011. Its mission was to inspire young people, help them start businesses confidently and create startup models that could not only \u201csurvive\u201d but also contribute positively to the community. On average, each year YUP helps more than 2,000 young people apply the experience Tu\u1ea5n and his teammates have gathered. This helps young CEOs reduce wasted money, time and effort.<\/p>\n Not stopping there, this young man full of ideas and energy created another \u201cbrainchild\u201d after visiting the home of Israel's founding prime minister, to spread a passion for reading and discovering knowledge among young people. That project is\u00a0hanhtrinhsach.com\u00a0<\/em>\u2013 Journey of Book (J.O.B). The project immediately received support from many young people.<\/p>\n Explaining why he created this Journey of Books project, Tu\u1ea5n said: \u201cNo one can go through this life alone. Neither can I; every journey needs a companion.\u201d To Tu\u1ea5n, books are cherished companions that offer many interesting philosophies of life.<\/p>\n Tu\u1ea5n not only brings good books to young people aspiring to start businesses, but also writes books himself to share, from the heart, his \u201csecrets\u201d to overcoming difficulty and succeeding, and to encourage them to begin early. At the end of 2017, aged 29, Tu\u1ea5n published an autobiographical book about his experiences of success and failure, titled\u00a0\u201cDarkness Always Precedes Dawn.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Asked why he wrote an autobiography so early, T\u1ea1 Minh Tu\u1ea5n said: \u201cI am not old enough to think about death. But if we are intelligent enough, we must think about death now to live as though we will die tomorrow. Who knows what will happen tomorrow\u2026\u201d Tu\u1ea5n also shared that he wrote the book for his little daughter, for young people starting businesses, and for anyone who wants to read about early success and early failure\u2026<\/p>\n Ho\u00e0ng H\u01b0\u01a1ng<\/p>\n Original article on Tu\u1ed5i Tr\u1ebb Th\u1ee7 \u0110\u00f4:\u00a0https:\/\/m.tuoitrethudo.com.vn\/bai-32-chang-trai-hai-lan-duoc-forbes-vinh-danh-n2046506.html<\/a><\/p>\n >> Great Articles on Entrepreneurship<\/a><\/p>\n >> Business Startup Course<\/a><\/p>\n >> Success Energy Activation Course<\/a><\/p>\n

\n If all you make is money, do not call yourself an entrepreneur<\/strong><\/strong>In his autobiography, T\u1ea1 Minh Tu\u1ea5n writes these poignant words for young people aspiring to start businesses: \u201cEntrepreneurs must make money, but if all you make is money, do not call yourself an entrepreneur. Starting a business must provide a livelihood, but if it is only a livelihood, it is not entrepreneurship. Your reason need not be exceptionally grand, but it must reach beyond yourself. You are great because you choose to live a great life. Whether your dream is big or small does not matter; what matters is whether you can grow while living that dream. I have observed that no country in the world taxes dreams, so if you dream, make it meaningful\u2026\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
