Mai Thi Le Quyen’s story: from lawyer to entrepreneur

Before, I did not think of myself as an entrepreneur, but I realised that my law firm operates like other businesses. I started thinking that I need to learn management skills to run the business. I think now I am starting to learn to become an entrepreneur.  

I find the HerVenture app very useful because it’s very convenient. We can learn anytime, anywhere. I find that it builds the lessons in the form of games and I learn things through those games that motivate me to pursue the next lessons. I have learned strategic planning using SMART principles, the process of project management and some financial management skills from HerVenture. 

HerVenture helped me to make a business plan as well as personal and corporate financial plans. I did not have a business plan before and did not review and evaluate results to see what had been achieved. When I studied HerVenture’s courses, I changed and trained myself in the habit of setting up business plans and monitoring their implementation. The positive result for the company is that I have planned and set a very clear goal, so my results are measurable.  

After the HerVenture courses, we realised how important it is to understand the customer. That’s one of the positive improvements from HerVenture.  

I think being a successful entrepreneur will bring a lot of positive effects to myself and to my family. I feel more satisfied with myself and my work. I think that is the source of happiness. When I’m successful, I can contribute more to the community. One of my missions is to provide legal aid to people in difficult circumstances who can’t afford legal fees.  

I think the success of an entrepreneur not only brings positive value to herself, but also brings value to her family and community.”
