Here I Am!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Wen Liu. Most of my friends like to call me by my nickname, Coco . I started out at Baruch as an accounting major, but now I am also looking into the field of Management and more closely on Entrepreneurship. My family used to own a Chinese Buffet restaurant in Florida few years ago, and even now my dad still works with my uncle in partnership of operating a Chinese restaurant. By far, working in my family-owned business enhances my experience furthermore.

I have a dream of starting up my own business; I want to operate a small coffee shop. I know that in small business environment, especially if I were the owner/manager, I needed to be able to manage everyday operations, inventories, cash-flows, workers, ordering, etc. I have already known from experience that “managing people is the most difficult task.” Human relationship is just so complex. It just takes time and experiences in life to be a BETTER manager.

Its great that you were able to set a path for yourself based on experience provided by your family. I wish I had that kind of opportunity open to me a while back. I went through thinking about being a teacher, to being a doctor, to a business career. All these things seem very different in the aspect of how things are conducted. I didnt dislike any of them. Ive made my decision based on experience like yourself. After having tried different jobs and taken several classes, I found that business was best for me.
I can see you as a business woman and I can also see why you love cooking now. It was great to learn this about you. I never knew this before. =D
May we all succeed in whatever we choose to do. =D
