18 Entrepreneurial Learnings from a Founder Who Built Businesses in the World's Toughest Markets

I learned so much about the 50% of leadership that we all know matters-the human side. The relationships. The hard-won wisdom that only comes from building something real in difficult places.

Paul Chu, Founder and Managing Director of RedWolf Airsoft, shared his entrepreneurial journey during a fireside chat. Paul's been building businesses since 1998, when he founded what became the world's leading global distributor of Airsoft hobby products.

Before that, he was a Principal at Boston Consulting Group and a Manager at Accenture. He's also an EO member since 2004, a former Hong Kong Chapter President, and currently an Adjunct Professor at City University of Hong Kong's Academy of Innovation.

He had one slide up the entire time-a list of eighteen "Entrepreneurial Learnings"-and spent the next hour bringing each one to life with stories I won't forget.
