One important characteristic many entrepreneurs share is the ability to be highly motivated. Amanda Wong is an example of an entrepreneur with plenty of motivation.

Today, aged 29, Amanda is the driving force behind Eclipse Publishing & Design, a graphic design business specialising in advertising, brochures, digital photography, logos and publication design. Amanda started the business in 2006, and at the time had no idea it would eventually employ 15 people and have nine overseas clients. ‘The business is successful because we offer a diverse range of unique designs not available from many other graphic design businesses.’
