Most entrepreneurs talk about numbers – funding rounds, revenue growth, profit margins.
But for Chan Eu Boon, one metric has always meant more than all of that:
Relationships.
Because at the core of every great business, every lasting brand, and every powerful movement… is people.
Business Is Built on Trust
When Chan reflects on his journey – from scrappy founder to leading CEO – he doesn’t talk about his balance sheet first. He talks about the partners who backed him, the team members who believed, and the clients who stayed even through the rough patches.
“Anyone can sell a product. But if you want to build something lasting, build trust first.”
It’s why he still remembers the names of interns who are now directors.
It’s why vendors stay loyal even after projects end.
And it’s why his handshake still holds weight in every boardroom he enters.
Long-Term Wins Require Long-Term People
Chan believes relationships are not a side effect of success – they’re the foundation of it. In his words:
“You want high ROI? Invest in people. And stay invested even when things aren’t profitable yet.”
Whether it’s nurturing a founder in year one or guiding a young exec through failure, he shows up – not just as a boss, but as a builder of people.
Legacy Is Built in the Way You Treat Others
To Chan, your leadership isn’t measured in how loud you speak – it’s how many people grow when you lead.
His leadership is grounded in mentorship, clarity, and accessibility. He doesn’t just hire talent – he listens to them, challenges them, and lets them shine.
“If someone leaves my company more confident than when they came in, I’ve done my job.”
Final Thought
In a world chasing vanity metrics, Chan Eu Boon remains grounded in a deeper truth:
When you lead with integrity, income follows. When you build with heart, success lasts.
Because the real ROI isn’t always seen in your bank account.
Sometimes, it shows up in the people who still call you ‘mentor’ 10 years later.
