Doubled Their Team Size, Doubled Their Revenue

Samantha Mah, Co-Founder of Love Earth Organic

We’ve dedicated 8 years to growing this business. We always wanted to start something new but feared things will go wrong the moment we stepped away.

After implementing their strategies, we revamped our team to be more goal-oriented and efficient. Since then, we have achieved 110% of our sales target for 8 months straight.

We’ve also doubled our staff force in just a year – people we can trust to do the job. This freed us up to start Mini Hero, our social enterprise which we’re very passionate about.

Expanded Into More Than 16 Countries in Less Than 2 Years

Samuel Soong & YiShen Law,
Co-Founders of Sttoke Incorporated

We were a two-man team with ambitions to take our coffee cup business international. It is tough as a product company trying to market something unique. Hiring and keeping talents was even tougher!

We are strong skeptics when it comes to training, but they proved us wrong. Their genuine love, support and being there for us is priceless.

This has enabled us to build a great team to sustain our business expansion into 16 countries and counting.

Building a Great Management Team To Continue Doing What He Loves Best

Eddie Tan, Chief Baker & Founder of Cake Tella

Cake Tella was born out of passion but recently I have been feeling miserable. For the past 8 years, I have been so focused on growing the business, doing the sales, finance, admin and everything by myself that I am no longer hands-on in what I truly love – which is baking.

The growth was there, but deep inside I was empty. After Raymond’s training, I set out to build a management team so that I could go back to doing what I loved the most – baking wonderful cakes, talking to my customers and seeing their happy faces as they enjoy the cake.

Thank you, Raymond and Owners Circle for helping me come up to this important realization in my life.

How I grew my business 5X when I managed to recruit the right people

Dr Lee Wai Wai, PetMedic Malaysia, Pet First Aid Instructor

After I joined Owners Circle, I was given a crystal-clear framework on how to delegate responsibilities to my teams - from vets all the way to backend operations.

I also made sure that I recruited people who are as passionate as I am about making pets healthy again.

As a result, my business operation and management system improved, and we grew 5X.

My teams are now highly motivated and driven by the same purpose to help animals.

From Video Production To Virtual Reality

JC Ngeoh, Co-Founder of SCM Asia

I founded this video production house together with 2 other co-founders. As the business owners, we thought it was very natural to be busy all the time because this was what we signed up for.

After we witnessed how Raymond manages his teams from his portfolio of businesses, it hit me that we were the problem - crucial decisions were not given enough attention simply because we were too busy executing and not planning!

We now know that it takes a team to grow the core business. Not only that, we’ve also successfully branched out a new company to provide Virtual Reality (VR) services. Now, we’re equipped with the tools to delegate responsibilities to our teams and made sure that we played our roles as the founders to continue to strategize the business growth so that we can continue to tell great stories and enrich our team member’s lives.

Making an 8-Figure Heritage Business Relevant in Modern Times

June Choo, Managing Director of TYT

I run a 63-year-old company with the purpose of helping mothers. In this changing world, running the company is not the same as it was during my grandfather’s time.

I wanted to grow further with the times, and I was looking for better solutions. After I found Owners Circle and Raymond, my company has now moved more aggressively, our teams are working harder than ever, everyone is aligned towards a new goal and we are growing!

The main thing is just that he doesn’t train or talk, he provides us with the tools and templates to get it done immediately. He is there to guide us while we’re working on it.

I am extremely happy that TYT is now able to continue growing and competing! I want to build this business to last for many more generations to come and impact more lives.

Delegating Day-To-Day Operations To Continue Pursuing My Creative Endeavours

Paul Morrison, Founder of Maveriq Studios

I’m the founder of a music & audio post-production facility for the past 19 years. I found myself wearing many hats and micromanaging/ firefighting many aspects of my company while trying to stay true to my first love, Music.

Even with an amazing team, I knew I could not sustain this way of running my business for much longer. I was fortunate enough to come across Owners Circle and thanks to Raymond’s guidance, I received step-by-step instructions on how to use people management tools to build leaders in my company.

With the current systems in place, I am more confident to let my key personnel lead the day-to-day operations while allowing me to strategies and plan for the company’s future while overseeing the creative directions of our projects.

With a renewed focus on the future. We are more equipped to fulfil the vision and make the impossible possible.

Owners Circle lifted us up from rock bottom and reminded us to keep going

Lok Siao Chze, Managing Partner of MyConsult

When MyConsult first came in, they were at the 6-figure revenue mark. In less than a year, they hit the 7-figure mark. Inspired by their accomplishments, they were invited to our highest-level program, the Growth Mastermind.

Despite already hitting the million mark, Siao Chze decided to come back to our Leadership. Execution. Alignment. Delegation program to learn and relearn how to manage her business better.

At one of the breakout rooms, Siao Chze opened up to complete strangers about her fight with depression when the pandemic first struck.

“I was just bingeing on chips and watching Netflix all day long. The pain was just unbearable, I didn’t want to face it. But after talking to Raymond for an hour, I lifted myself out of that state and focused on reviving my business.”

We pivoted our business quickly thanks to Owners Circle. That saved our business when the entire industry was collapsing

Micky Ng & Nicklas Ng, Founders of Above Creative Events

Imagine this: A client calls in to cancel a 6-figure project on the first day of Chinese New Year. The thought alone would have sent any business owners into a panic mode.

But Micky and Niklas, being the powerful entrepreneurs they were, decided not to become yet another victim of the pandemic.

They took swift action and pivoted into virtual events. As a result of their swift action, they were the first to pioneer in the industry, and are now the go-to events company to create virtual experiences.

In fact, they are so widely recognized as the first mover that they also won the Malaysia Book of Records!

“The calm and composed leadership of Owners Circle helped us to stay focused and aligned, to keep us moving rather than staying idle and playing a victim mindset.”

I might be successful, but I still have my struggles, just like any business owner out there.

Mandy Tong, Founder of Gather Gather Kitchen

I have been managing my F&B business all by myself for the last 5 years. Even though I managed to achieve what I have now, I still face the same struggles as everyone else.

Managing people, cash flow and thinking up marketing strategies on my own was hard. I didn’t know who else to turn to until I found the Growth Mastermind.

I never could share about my business with my family and friends, but with these people, I found myself opening up even the deepest and darkest fears I have as an entrepreneur.

The most touching moment was when a bunch of them showed up just to give me valuable insights on how I can improve my shop, and brainstormed together on how to market my restaurant. I’m so blessed to have found this family in Owners Circle.
