The face behind HealthOptix | Symbionat- Yongyan Liu
What’s your story?
Moving around with my family over the past 23 years, Building Sustainable Business and Home is always challenging. Many people just come and go, I choose to retain all relevant values. Now I have businesses in Shanghai, Hong Kong and just started a new company in Singapore – HealthOptix, and still have a strong connection with the Nordic circle in all local markets. The trick is to choose the right operational partners and continuously add value into the business no matter where you are. I’m in Health and Wellness industry, I lock my strength in strategy and development. Today, I fly around Hong Kong, mainland China and Singapore, working with my local partners to develop for a healthier and more sustainable world.
How & Why did you start your company/passion work?
I was in branding, working long hours, having bad health conscious, not sustainable. During the covid years, I branded a health business, and got invited to co-found this new business. I opened a blue ocean, it is a whole new world rooted in Micronutrition and empowered by cutting-edge Health-tech. That year I thought: if I can not earn money, at least I can earn health! My passion is to earn BOTH, and leave something meaningful behind me. I of course have been in many crossroad moments, constantly having identify crisis. It’s part of the entrepreneur package, you take on adventure, push yourself out from the comfort zone, reach to a new level, doubt about your capability, break through it and move on… again and again. From an employee to an entrepreneur, from a Mother to a Mother/Founder, from working alone to leading a team, from winning to losing and vice verses… Belief and resilience are your only friends.
How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER: FOUNDER: SELF?
When working, focus and get immersed at work; When spending time with family, stay away from work; Give yourself your own time. I like rowing and listening to audio books at double speed. Everyone can find her own way.
Any recent accomplishment you would like to share with us? (personal/professional)
