do you think that when woman want to succeed in career,she has to exchange for love or familly?in other words,she isn't happy in love?
It’s difficult to be successful in everything in life, but of course success in career, love and family are not mutually exclusive, and it’s about finding the right balance between all of those things, and others. It is possible to achieve that, definitely, and I’m glad that it’s something I have managed to find.
Hi Ms.Darby! Do you have time for your family? I know that the work takes too much time, so how can you spend time for the houseworks?
Family is really everything to me, and to most people. If I didn’t have my family I don’t think I would really see the point in pursuing any kind of business ideas. Of course, there are times when I have large projects on and have to burn the midnight oil, but anyone who wants to find time can. At the end of the day, people aren’t sucked into business, it’s a choice, and it should always remain like that.
Hi Karen, your ongoing successes in business are awesome to me. As you said, networking is very important. What will you advise me how to create networks that I can broaden my chances for getting a good job, good partners and business opportunities? Thank you.
The trick with networks is that you don’t need to create them, but just have to be aware of what networks are available. There are many online networks (such as LinkedIn and Plaxo) that can really help link people and will make a person’s business resource base much bigger, so it’s all about talking to people.
Hi Karen
In Vietnam, people believe that behind a successful man is a solid base - his woman, who looks after all the behind-the-stage business and the family. In your case, who is backing you?
Well, I certainly have a strong man behind me – my husband Ellis – and my children are obviously a great support as well. It’s imperative to know that you have people backing you as it gives you the inspiration to drive on and be successful. Support is key, particularly when you have to spend time away or are stuck working long hours. It can be anything from some sound advice to some good food (I qualified my husband on his ability to cook brilliantly!), so family, partner and friends are key.
What are you working on at the moment?

Hi Karen,
Just read news for a while and caught you from there. Its really amazing when see your profile and what you did recently. As I have known so far, I did run a successful buz and sell it in 06' by the price ~35mil USD. Up to now, do you run any kind of business ??? Or you just predict the upcomming crisis in all places- all countries in all over the world and just wanted to stop doing any kind of business ??? How can you do that ???

Hoang Dinh.
