Additionally, Roger is a co-founder and the chairman for XL Results Foundation, the largest entrepreneur network in Asia Pacific. "XL Magazine" is the first magazine of its kind. It is published by XL Results Foundation and is dedicated to social enterprise.



Roger hasn't always been rich. He's both made and lost millions. The difference between Roger Hamilton and most other entrepreneurs is that he believes there are lessons to be learned from mistakes. He doesn't give up. He specializes in building new Asian businesses as a serial entrepreneur, and he even chose the Asian Crisis of 1997 as a time to launch his very first one.

Wealth isn't everything to Roger. Passion is what drives him. Passion is that little voice in your head that makes you want to jump out of bed rather than hitting the snooze button. Getting started on the day ahead is so much more rewarding when you're doing something you truly enjoy whether it makes you rich or not.

Roger has a unique way of looking at the relationship between wealth and passion. Wealth isn't defined by how much money you have. It's defined by what's left after you lose all of your money. If your passion is money, you're left with nothing. If your passion is something else, you're left with something that will allow you to build wealth again.

Life is made up of one choice after another. Roger Hamilton learned that lesson well while attending Cambridge University. He went to school to study architecture, but he had a passion for rowing. He enjoyed practicing with the team. In addition, he had friends who encouraged him to get a job to pay for a fun trip to Greece with them.

When faced with more than one choice that is equally important to you, Roger believes the easiest thing for you to do is to make them into one long question. That way you can combine your answer. Think of it like multitasking or killing two birds with one stone, as the saying goes.

Roger needed to fill his architecture portfolio, make money, and row at the same time. He decided to make and sell drawings of famous places like King's College Chapel. The drawings made him money, filled his portfolio, and didn't take up much time, so he was able to participate on the rowing team. Problem solved!
