From a challenging startup journey to “Reaching the golden dream” – The inspirational story of businesswoman Hana Ngo

There are dreams that start from small things, but are successful enough to change a life. For Ms. Hana Ngo - CEO & Founder of HanaGold, that story does not stop at building a pioneering enterprise in the journey of digitizing the gold, silver and gemstone industry in Vietnam, but also a journey of daring to dream, daring to do and daring to turn aspirations into real values.

On the journey of building her career, she chose to record her own journey in her first book “Reaching the Golden Dream”. Without any pretentiousness or embellishment, the book is like a true diary about determination, faith and aspiration to reach success. At the same time, it is also an invitation for every young person to dare to step out of their comfort zone, courageously reaching for their own “golden dream” no matter how small the beginning.

The entrepreneurial journey of a woman who dared to dream in the "territory" of gold and silver

Not coming from the jewelry industry, Ms. Hana Ngo began her journey with a simple but different belief: gold is not only the accumulated asset of the rich, but should be the asset of everyone.

From that mindset, she has brought a modern, safe and accessible investment method through the model of “gold accumulation from only 100,000 VND.” A journey to help bring the concept of gold accumulation closer to young Vietnamese people, who may not have much capital, but have a strong desire to accumulate and take control of the future.

When it first appeared, this idea was considered “unrealistic” and too bold in a jewelry market that was familiar with traditional thinking. Starting with many doubts, Ms. Hana Ngo faced a series of challenges from pressure on capital, human resources to customer trust. 

“There was a time when I almost lost both my confidence and finances. But at that time, I realized that the most valuable thing is the ability to stand up after each fall,” she shared.

And that spirit has become the "compass" throughout her business journey as well as her view of life values. She has led HanaGold to become a pioneer in the journey of digitizing the gold and gemstone industry in Vietnam. HanaGold has affirmed its position with more than 350,000 customers, 5 branches nationwide and more than 400 strategic partners. That effort has been recognized through many prestigious awards: Top 10 Strong ASEAN Brands, Top 100 Leading Brands in Vietnam, Outstanding Innovative Enterprise at Techfest 2024, ...

Not stopping at the achievements, Ms. Hana Ngo continues to inspire with her journey of innovation and considers each achievement as the foundation for sustainable success in the future.

“Dare to dream, dare to start and persevere to the end because only when we overcome fear and doubt, will dreams truly take shape.” – Ms. Hana Ngo shared

“Reaching the golden dream” – The journey of turning aspirations into values

“Reaching the Golden Dream” is considered a special milestone in Ms. Hana Ngo’s career. The book not only recounts the journey of a young woman starting a creative business in a volatile market, but also depicts the spirit of dedication and perseverance of the young generation of Vietnam.

This book is not simply an autobiography, but a combination of real experiences, real inspirations and real values. Author Ms. Hana Ngo said: “I wrote this book not to tell my own story, but so that those who have ever been confused and afraid to start can see that anyone can reach their dreams if they dare to believe and dare to take steps.”

With a close and sincere writing style, the book evokes in readers the feeling of being accompanied, of seeing themselves again in each page: from the first days, the stumbles, until finding the light of faith and perseverance.

Not just an inspirational publication, “Reaching the Golden Dream” is also associated with activities of profound community significance.

On the occasion of the book launch, author Hana Ngo responded to the project "Library of Joy" launched by Tam Long Viet Fund - Vietnam Television (VTV), with the desire to contribute to building 100 libraries for children in flood and highland areas.

Accordingly, for each book sold, 50,000 VND will be donated to the Fund, and 10 books will be donated to each community library within the project framework.

This activity not only demonstrates the spirit of "spreading golden values", sowing seeds of knowledge and aspirations for children across the country, but also expands the book's message that the most beautiful dream is the dream that brings value to the community.

Connecting inspiration – continuing the journey of the golden dream

The launch of “Reaching the Golden Dream” marks a turning point in CEO Hana Ngo’s inspirational journey, from a brave young businesswoman to a storyteller, a transmitter of positive energy for the young Vietnamese generation.

More than a book, this is a message for anyone struggling at a crossroads in life: success does not come from luck, but from effort, perseverance and belief in one's own worth.
