I joined Elance to find new outsourcing clients several weeks ago.

There are a lot of projects posted, but unfortunately, at the same time there are too many competitors!

For one project, there could be more than 10 companies bidding on it.
Worse, because there are so many bidders, prices have gone so low that they no longer make financial sense.

If Kim and Mauborgne (authors of the Blue Ocean Strategy) look at Elance, they will say that it is a bloody red ocean.

So I quit Elance, and now currently looking for ways to get out of this red ocean and swim into the blue ocean…

When there is a will, there is a way!

I’m a hardworking man, but until recently, I never read a book except my school textbooks.

After I graduated and got into business life, I started reading business books, because I had no knowledge nor experience in doing business.

I admit it is true when people say that to be successful in business, one does not have to study business theories. Lots of people I knew, they didn’t even go to college, but they are now very successful businessmen!

But I believe this world has business schools, theories because they make better businessmen!

Anyway, I bought a marketing book titled Blog Marketing at Amazon, and that is actually what inspires me write this blog.

By writing this blog I hope to befriend new fellow businesspeople, future client prospects, or future business partners from all over the world.

Also so that I can share my technical knowledge with fellow software engineers out there.
