Mikel Yaw is a normal person but he thinks and believes differently. He always tries to do his best to create the best values at every moment. Even when exhausted and tired, he will stay quiet and composed to bring his energy back. He always says to himself, “You can rest but don’t quit”.

Throughout the years, Mikel has achieved many goals in his life. He always believes that “one can achieve many good experiences without using a lot of money to buy it.” This will make the difference, as money is not top priority in his life in designing the best suitable life.

Mikel loves to learn through reading, attending tradeshows, meeting people and watching webinars, forums and industry talks show. He does so to keep himself updated and engaged with present business trends and landscapes. He loves sports, long jogs, mountain climbing and especially partaking in martial arts. He has practiced Capoeira Brazilian martial arts for more than 6 years.

Despite his tight business schedule he always presents himself in an energetic spirit after a weekend rest with beloved family and friends. He practices what he preaches, ”You can rest if you’re tired but most importantly you don’t quit.”

As a successful young entrepreneur, Mikel believes that, “When you achieved goals, you feel rewarding and you know well you are on the right track.”
