Five years ago, Russel Miller (an Amnerican citizen with permanent residency in Singapore) approached me to create an award for small enterprises in Singapore.
Other business awards tend to recognise the bigger or succesful organisations. The small enterprises are overlooked. Russell felt that it is important to recognise the efforts of more humble people.
We founded the organisation called "The Spirit of Enterprise". We brainstormed and came out with an unique approach towards recognising these small entrepreneurs and selecting them.
We also wanted to involve the student interviewers, so that they get the feel of what it is like to build a small business.
I am glad that the Spirit of Enterprise has survived five years and continues to grow strong. Russell Miller and I have now passed the baton to a new board of governors, although we continued to be informal advisers.
