Born in Hong Kong, Montana’s career began in Australia. At just 20 years old, Montana learned her first lesson about life: “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage (Anais Nin)” When she was a shy and timid fresh graduate, She was tasked with a door-to-door sales job in Australia promoting a new long-distance phone service, with commission as the only source of income. She faltered at the challenge and was nearly defeated when she landed no sale for the first two weeks and was thinking of quitting. With encouragement from her supervisor, she felt reenergized and forged on, believing most stars started as an underdog. Her persistence paid off and within 3 months, she became a top performer and in another 6 months, she became the team leader, which offers a great lesson on personal achievement: See it, believe it and you can achieve it.

Massively motivated by her transformation in her early career, Montana set out on a mission to do the same as her supervisor had done for others working for and with her: have good faith in people and work to empower them to be their best form.
