Nicolai Bergmann Wows FCC Crowd in April
FCC’s Monthly Dinner was held April 24 at the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo.
With charismatic flower designer/artist/entrepreneur, Nicolai Bergmann, as the featured speaker, we had a strong turnout of over 50 participants. We welcomed several new participants and two new members who joined FCC.
Thanks hugely to Nicolai’s open, passionate and energetic character, the atmosphere of the evening was friendly, cordial and vibrant.
Nicolai gave us a fascinating story of his life and passion, including among others, his aspiration in youth, his love for Japan, and a miserable failure in his early business career. He shared the glorious success he enjoys of late and his plans for diversification and globalization.
“Making a strong business plan is one thing but I put more belief in my own instinct.”
This comment of Nicolai is the very foundation of his achievements. Not everyone is able to make his/her childhood dream a reality in such a passionate way like Nicolai. His messages through the evening resonate among us as a call for being continuously a seeker of your own belief and passion.
Thank you Nicolai and we wish your enterprises continued success.
