SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE / ACCESS Newswire / June 3, 2025 / At 18 years old, Singaporean entrepreneur Rayston Heem has reported building a seven-figure e-commerce business after overcoming early academic and personal challenges.
Heem's early education at Fajar Secondary School was marked by academic struggles, bullying, and being labeled as a "problem child," leading to a repeated school year. A difficult personal setback during his teenage years further impacted his confidence, but he cites these experiences as formative in shaping his future path.
At 16, Heem made the decision to leave formal education to pursue business full-time, a move met with concern by his family. Motivated by stories of online business success, he began exploring the e-commerce sector, though he initially encountered misleading information and unverified claims. He credits his progress to a structured mentorship program that provided practical guidance.
Within two years, Heem states that he established a profitable business and used part of his earnings to purchase luxury items and support his family financially. He attributes his achievements to a change in mindset and commitment to learning from credible sources.
Heem is now involved in a mentorship initiative called Ecomwarts, through which he shares business strategies based on his experiences. The program is aimed at individuals seeking entry into online entrepreneurship, with a focus on practical application.
Looking ahead, Heem has expressed interest in scaling his business operations while promoting broader awareness of alternative career pathways in the digital economy.
