A job is not enough: the journey from a wage earner to an education entrepreneur
Once upon a time, I was just an ordinary worker in society. Like many people, I doubted whether I could overcome the difficulties. Hong Kong’s education industry once made me feel that the only way to have a stable and long-term future was to follow the traditional path. However, as time went by, I gradually discovered that the idea that "working people can never get ahead" may not be completely applicable to everyone, especially for those who dare to challenge the status quo and seek opportunities for innovation.
At that time, I began to think about whether I could start a business in the field of education and look for ways to break the traditional model. In fact, looking back at my mood at that time, the biggest challenge was not the fear of the future, but how to put a new idea into practice. During this process, I have learned a lot and gained a lot. Today I want to share with you some of my experiences, which may be inspiring to you.

The transition from working to starting a business
At first, I didn’t plan to become an entrepreneur until one day, when I discovered that many of my fellow educators were seeking innovation and were even dissatisfied with the existing tutoring model. At that time, I slowly began to resonate with the idea of "starting a business early". I have seen many predecessors seize opportunities and be at the forefront of educational entrepreneurship. They use technology and innovative teaching materials to break traditional boundaries and create their own educational careers.
I also thought that maybe I could find a new path of my own on this road. From then on, I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey, facing unknown challenges and at the same time feeling the unlimited opportunities.

1. Use technology to create new situations
From my personal experience, the process of starting a business is not always smooth sailing, especially in the field of education. How to effectively improve teaching quality and solve management problems has always been a big challenge. Because of this, I decided to rely on technology to break through this bottleneck. With the application of automation systems, the operation of education has become simpler and more efficient. Whether it is teaching quality or student management, the expected results can be achieved in a shorter time.
For this reason, I chose innovative math games and the unique NASA curriculum, introduced these internationally advanced educational concepts to Hong Kong, and used technological tools to assist teaching. This approach can not only effectively improve students' learning outcomes, but also enable me to go further and further on this path.
2. Choose courses with market demand and highlight brand characteristics
The most important thing for me is to choose courses that will be valuable to students and parents. At the beginning, I didn’t know which field to choose until I noticed that unique contents such as English Mathematical Olympiad, math games and NASA courses were popular in the market. These courses not only stimulate students' academic thinking, but also help them develop innovation and problem-solving skills.
As these courses gradually gained popularity among students and parents, I found that they had become a highlight of my brand. This positive feedback from market demand gives me confidence in future development.
3. Entrepreneurship is not equal to risk-taking
Maybe you will ask: Is starting a business really that easy? What I want to say is that the entrepreneurial risk in the education industry is actually relatively low. Compared with other industries, the demand for education has been stable in the long term, especially today when parents are paying more and more attention to their children's education. Whether it is online courses or physical classrooms, the market demand remains strong. With the development of technology, entrepreneurs can use automation tools to improve efficiency, reduce management pressure, and make business operations easier.
4. Scaled operation
As the tutoring business grows, you can consider opening branches or expanding online courses, which will not only expand your market share but also increase your revenue sources.
Providing high-quality teaching materials and teaching methods allows students to see results in a short period of time, which can not only enhance the brand image but also bring about word-of-mouth effects.
5. Entrepreneurship has low risk and high returns
The entrepreneurial risk in the education industry is relatively low and the market demand is stable. As parents pay more attention to education, there is a stable demand for both online courses and physical classrooms. With the support of technology, it can be managed and operated more easily, and the returns are considerable.
Conclusion: Start your own business early and create your own education brand
Looking back on my entrepreneurial journey, I deeply realized that no matter how difficult the process is, as long as you dare to try and start early, the rewards of entrepreneurship will be immeasurable. In the education industry, the role of entrepreneurs is not only to impart knowledge, but also to serve as a bridge to lead students to explore the unknown world.
So, whether you are a teacher or an education enthusiast, if you also have dreams and passion, make good use of modern technology and high-quality teaching materials, and act early, the opportunity to start a business is right in front of you. Start a business as early as possible, now is the best starting point!
