Hello, everyone and welcome back to our weekly #GEMChats! This week, we'll discuss the results of the poll on whether #celebrities make successful #entrepreneurs!

Let's begin, shall we?

#startup #womenentrepreneur #business #showbiz
So recently @KylieJenner sparked a heated debate on how celebrities are successful at entrepreneurship when she was announced to become the youngest self-made #billionaire ever.

cnbc.com/2018/07/11/kyl…

#KUWTK
Some feel strongly that she only dethroned #MarkZuckerberg from that position because she is part of the #Kardashian and her #entrepreneurial venture has multi-level of safety net and it allows her to #scaleup at an exponential rate.
However, @KylieJenner #KUWTK seems to be directly involved and #invested in her #business ventures. She personally promotes her products and while there are safety nets in place, it can be said that she has innate #entrepreneurship skills.

So let's look at more examples.
@jessicaalba co-founded The Honest Company, a USD$1-billion company which recently secured a USD$200 million investment.

Fortune: "Since Alba founded the eco-friendly Honest Co. in 2011 (sic), they expanded from selling natural baby products to home cleaning and beauty items".
#Male #celebrities like @RyanReynolds, George Clooney and @Drake have been known to venture into the #alcohol industry with Aviation Gin, Casamigos Tequila and Virginia Black Whiskey.

All three show #Entrepreneurship talent in addition to being #superstars in #showbiz.
Some #superstars also display #Entrepreneurship talent from investing in #startups and #tech. @JaredLeto is one such celebrity who has been found making well-timed bids for companies like Uber, Snapchat, and Spotify.

And @JaredLeto isn't alone. Scores of celebrities have done the same. @LeoDiCaprio recently invested in @MindMazeSA and @iamwill is also a keen investor in #tech #startup!

variety.com/2017/digital/n…
Ashton Kutcher @aplusk once wrote a piece on how and why he invests in #startups. You may read it here:

techcrunch.com/2018/05/23/how…
Locally in #Malaysia, a few #selebriti have also been known to have a knack for #business

One such example is Dato' Rosyam Nor, who is the first and only #artist to own and run a grocery store, ST Rosyam.

astroawani.com/berita-hiburan…
Other #artist #tempatan have been known to show #keusahawanan and #entrepreneurial talent through #businesses ranging from #clothing like @altimet and @SazzyFalakCLPT as well as show companies like @REALFAFAU and @faizalfbi76
Want to know more about #Malaysian #artists and their #entrepreneurial ventures? Tune in to eFM for the morning and evening BMO slots with @NanaMahazan. Tomorrow, Nana shares her own #entrepreneurship venture with #beauty products.

So while we can say #celebrities may have their #Entrepreneurship journey easier than others, most show genuine interests and aptitude for #business. Some even take it up a notch by becoming #investors to other companies.

If you ask if there are more of such stories in #Malaysia, there are!

Let's discuss this thread for our #GlobalEChats!

So what do you make of the wave of #ecommerce these days? Come delve into the ins and outs of it with us!
So #Entrepreneurs out there, what is ecommerce?

It just refers to electronic transactions done in the name of #sale and #purchase.

In simpler terms, you buy and sell things online with the #internet! That's it!
But to whom and from whom can these #transactions take place between? Surprisingly, it's not just between #business (B) and #Customers (C)!

It can take place between:
1. B2B
2. B2C
3. C2C (or P2P)
4. C2B

Let's start our #GlobalEChats on #music!

Among our #discussion topics: 1. #Stakeholders in music and what happens to them? 2. #Production of music 3. #Consumption of music 4. New #technology out there!
Firstly, let's talk about how scary #technology and #advancement can be to #music.

Some stats:
The US lost $12.5 billion a year in total sales due to pirated music.

71k jobs were lost; $2.7bn in annual earnings; $1.1bn of that would have been earned by the industry.
Source:

But as with any #tech #disruption, there are always negative externalities.

In the #music industry, most of the bad press came from #piracy. Sites like Napster and P2P torrenting were rampant back in the day.

Let's start our #GEMChats this week. The topic of this week is #student #entrepreneurship!

We'll discuss these three factors in the poll options below as well as replies to the poll 🧐🧐🧐 Let's take this forward!
#Students? And #entrepreneurship? Is that even a good combination?

Especially when you read that the famous student entrepreneurs like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are all dropouts!!!

Can students not only run a #business while studying but also be #successful at it?
Taking a different perspective at this is that while these billionaires are college dropouts, the #idea for the #business all came about when they were in #college! As a young #student, your ideas have a chance at being fresh and can be developed through stringent planning!
