Richard Tan, founder and CEO of Success Resources, the largest seminar organiser in Asia, has overcome many adversities in life including a failed business, before finding his niche in organising seminars. He shares his success story with Meeting Planner. Call it an accident or call it fate. It was a series of unfortunate events that led Richard Tan to venture into the seminar business 16 years ago. First, he lost his job as an engineer at an oil rig during the oil crisis in the late 80s. Then in 1990, he started a business dealing in a non-slip flooring chemical, which failed miserably and lost lots of money, sending him spiralling into a hefty debt.
