SPECIAL FEATURE
her first business deal by selling cosmetics in her
part-time job.
“My sister got me into network marketing when I
moved to Kuala Lumpur. The multifaceted aspects in
being a network marketer is a way of growth for me
as it inspires me to constantly improve myself.”
“I’ve sold vitamins, water filter, health foods and
etc. Everytime I’m given a new task, it is a chance
for me to learn about the industry and products.
One also must be optimistic as a network marketer.
There will be rejections and complains daily so it is
important to be driven and disciplined in whatever
we are doing.”
Jessy shares that there are more women working
in this industry than men because network marketing
is constantly seen as merely a part-time job. As
men are mostly the breadwinners of their families,
it is less likely for them to be a network marketer
as it is not a stable job so the members are mostly
housewives.
“In our business, we don’t make promises but we
show our trust and outcome through the work we do.
There is no point making promises with no actual
fulfillment so we do our part by proving ourselves.”
Therefore, from a network marketer to a
multinational businesswoman, she is keen to show
the world that anything can happen if you put your
mind into it. Just as they say, winners never quit and
quitters never win. As of now, Monspace has various
international projects and one of it is the placements
of massage chairs in main airports and train stations
across China.
Monspace also has investments in research
supplements for space astronauts and
commercialising it to the public in China. Other
than that, the company is starting their own study in
satellites for the future.
Despite her huge network and notable business
ventures, she does not see Monspace as a ‘successful’
business. “We are only a 4-year-old baby. A business
that can last for a century is what I am aiming for
so I’m laying the foundation now for our growth in
times to come.”
KINDNESS MATTERS
A company is also a reflection of the founder. From
the way things run and the various business ventures
of Monspace, Jessy believes that every decision
must be earnest and transparent in actions. After
all, ‘Monspace’ can be directly translated–from the
French word mon (my)–as ‘my space’.
To her, the multinational company can only come
through with the right people on board. “Most of the
time, I receive project proposals for the company.
It doesn’t matter if it is a good project (or not). I
will give it a go mostly depending on the organising
person behind it.”
Not only limited to business potentials, the
big-hearted girl from Malacca is also a known
philanthropist across the world.
“There are so many people that needs help in
this world. It is beyond our capacity to reach out to
everyone so I believe in destiny to show me the way. I
will do the best I can to help those that stumble upon
my path.”
You may follow her journey more intimately
through www.jessylai.com where she often blogs about
her philosophies and snippets of her life.
Understanding her love to motivate through
speech and writing, I asked Jessy to share the title
of her autobiography–if she were to have one. She
laughed and answered, “ 用 生 命 影 响 生 命 , meaning
life inspiring life”.
Interlinking with her company’s motto, Jessy
is hopeful in using one’s life experience to inspire
others. Like everybody else, success did not
come overnight and she lives in the belief that
perseverance and hard work will reap its reward.
Beyond achievement and recognition, having the
fulfillment of helping others brings peace and
happiness to oneself.
