I was so excited to receive this email. What an honor! Aren’t you proud of me, dear reader? The “nominal fee” for this “honor” is only $1,800! A small price to pay for these “exclusive benefits.”

On a serious note, do they think I was born yesterday? It makes me laugh and cry at the same time. 😢 🤣

On a political note, this come-on sounds like something that would appeal to Dear Leader. Reliable sources tell me he likes to see his name mentioned numerous times in the usual one-page memo a la Reading for Dummies.

On a business note, this is a low-cost fishing expedition. You send this email to 5,000 “entrepreneurs” and maybe 10 suckers take the bait. That’s a good ROI.

On a technical note, guess what percentage of this poorly written email was AI-generated? Answer: 91%, according to one source.

I know. It’s too much to expect everyone to want to earn an honest living.

Note: The company’s name has been changed to protect the guilty.

Peace, MAA

Vietnam Entrepreneurs with Incredible Innovative Mindset

Vietnam has been witnessing explosive growth owing to its young, tech-savvy population and increasing integration with global markets. The country’s low manufacturing costs and strategic location are the reasons that set Vietnam entrepreneurs apart on the global stage. With their resilience, adaptability, and strong work ethic, Vietnam entrepreneurs are transforming the business landscape into a fast-paced environment unlike any other.

What truly sets Vietnam entrepreneurs apart is the way they blend traditional values with modern ambition. While they often find themselves in a predicament with limited resources, they still bring about incredible innovations by creating low-cost, creative solutions that help them compete in the ever-changing marketplace.  

Young entrepreneurs in Vietnam are embracing global trends, especially in tech and e-commerce, while still tailoring their products to Vietnam tastes and habits. Even though these entrepreneurs lack easier access to capital and infrastructure,  they are setting a precedent for others to follow by demonstrating their ability to be incredibly resourceful and tenacious.

We at ABC Entrepreneur have been closely observing the entrepreneurs from Vietnam who are at the forefront of innovation with a strong vision for the future.

We are thrilled to have Mark Ashwill on board for this special edition as the “Most Renowned Entrepreneur from Vietnam Driving Remarkable Business Transformation in 2025″ and reap the benefits of brand journalism.
