Make sure that you set the right expectations when you come to Vietnam and manage the Vietnamese teams. For people interested in Vietnam, a great country, great food, I recommend people come here. For the startup founder out there. Try to find a good reason to start your business. Find your passion. Because if you don't, when the money doesn't come, when the traction is not there. When things don’t happen the way you want it. You might become depressed and disappointed. So find a good reason to keep fighting the fight.
