“It’s never too late….. take the leap and switch careers!”

April 5, 2011 - PRLog -- He was 28 then. Today, the 37 years old runs Tim Bodycare Training Centre, a pioneer in massage trainings located in Petaling Jaya. Low said it was the determination to repay his parents, who had given him a sound education, that made him seriously think about a career change.

Despite the potentially bright future with the telecom company, he has not regretted the move. The MBA degree holder from Preston University, UK can proudly say that he can now comfortably provide for his parents.

Low didn’t make the career move out of frustration or boredom but had strategically charted out a plan. Take it from him.

“I am constantly asking myself who I am at this point in time, where I want to go and who I can be”, he said.

Like successful companies which practice dynamic planning and forecasting, he also adopts the practice in his daily life. More than anything else for Low, whose childhood ambition was to be a pilot, he wanted to challenge himself.

He observed that there was a growing demand and the potential for the healthcare industry. He chose to go into Massage Therapy and Training and subsequently enrolled with the Wat Por Thai Royal School of Medicine and Massage in Bangkok, Thailand.

His rationale was, why go into computer business (where only a handful own computers), when the human body also breaks down.

“You also have to look at what the market wants and position yourself”, said the young entrepreneur.

His advice for those who want to make the transition: “Give yourself a chance and never give up on yourself. God never gave up on you, so why
