January 6 ------ Enchong Dee shared what made him decide to venture into entrepreneurship. In an interview with Bianca Gonzalez in the TFC show BRGY, the Kapamilya actor relayed: "At first it was more of, when I was growing up we don't own anything. I don't own my clothes, I don't own any toys. We don't own anything. I grew up in a very simple family life." He went on: "And then naalala ko na kapag may nakakasama ka na ka-edad mo, 'Ah yeah we own that,' sabi ko parang ang sarap naman ng feeling na masabi lang na, 'We own that.' So sabi ko when I have enough money, I want to be able to say na we own something so dun siya nag-start."
The Kapamilya star added that he also decided to become a businessman as he realized that showbiz is not forever. "Pangalawa, I have this fear na habang nagta-trabaho tayo, nare-realize ko wait sandali, 'yung mga kasamahan ko nung nagsi-simula ako unti-unti silang nalalagas, not in a bad way, pero 'yun talaga ang reality ng showbiz industry eh," he pointed out. "At one point people will be moving on from showbiz industry so sabi ko I want to take care of this. Nandito na ako eh, gusto ko siyang galingan but at the same time the reality is, once you reach a certain age, mababawasan at mababawasan 'yung mga projects na darating sa'yo but I want to be able earn the same way as I've been earning in my peak. So sabi ko, okay I will invest with the things na dumating sa akin."
Enchong highlighted that while he has been investing, he also evolved as a businessman through the things he learned along the way. "Habang nagi-invest ako, natututo din ako," he said. When it comes to his mindset now when it comes to business, Enchong shared: "I'm in the page right now wherein I want to invest only on the things that will be a billion-peso company. If it won't reach that, I don't think it's worth your time. I don't think it's worth your effort to market it so nandun naman ako sa point na 'yun. Nandun din ako sa point na 'yun na I won't be investing on a lot of things but rather on the quality investments." He added: "Ngayon I would just want to focus on quality more than the quantity of your investments."
