From bicycles to Bentleys: a journey of success - Beijing to Sydney is the story of Ironfish founder and CEO Joseph Chou, the Chinese-born entrepreneur who left his homeland as a 29-year-old diplomat to create a new life for himself in Australia, only to find himself in a beat-up Sigma delivering pizzas for a lousy $7 an hour. But through hard work, solid business principles and a positive outlook, Joseph went on to own several successful companies including Ironfish, a property investment firm that has fast become one of Australia's most reputable and successful firms. In From bicycles to Bentleys: a journey of success - Beijing to Sydney, Joseph tells his personal story from Beijing in 1962 to Australia in the present-day, showcasing a humble man who always had a big dream and a clear set of principles to lead his life by. Readers will laugh at his anecdotes, be impressed with the simplicity of his business message, marvel at his dogged determination and be inspired enough to ensure they reach the goals they set for themselves. Passionate about his new country, Joseph shares his love for Australia and his desire to see fellow migrants embrace the opportunities they are given for themselves and their country, talking candidly about self belief and risk-taking. It is Joseph's hope that by penning his personal story he will inspire others that if he can do it, surely they can too.

Key messages include:

  • You may need to go back to go forward
  • Work hard, be positive, and persevere
  • Take risks and back yourself
  • Never burn bridges
  • Helping others is helping yourself
  • Seek help
  • Value relationships
