Pearlin Siow, Book Mama of Boss of Me, Singapore

Today’s episode is with an entrepreneur, author and book publisher from Singapore, Pearlin Siow who calls herself the Book Mama at Boss Of Me.  Her journey is a little unusual in that she started writing her bestseller book first and her business came after when more and more entrepreneurs started asking her to write their books.  Pearlin started as a journalist at Singapore Press Holdings upon graduation. In 2000, she left to found an online barter site (which she talks about in this episode) and later, entered the corporate world when she became the business development manager for CNET Asia. This journalist turned entrepreneur published her first book - a bestseller - in 2002 - when she was inspired by Tim Ferriss’s 4 Hour Work Week.  Soon after, she wrote three more books - Sleep & Get Rich, Secrets Of Asia's Most Successful Internet Gurus and Do You Have What It Takes To Be Boss. Before long, she was getting a steady stream of clients who wanted to get their stories told and written. Eventually, she moved into helping them publish their books by setting up her own team, working with book production experts such as designers, printers and book distributors.
