However, as he gained a substantial number of followers in the digital realm, he soon realised that his creation had the potential to be very profitable. Initially a part-time endeavour, his interest in the venture grew to the point where he devoted all his energy and resources to take it to new levels of success.
While his business expanded, Liang had to juggle his social media side gig alongside his formal studies. Things were progressing smoothly until he got accepted into the pharmacology department, a childhood aspiration. Nevertheless, he made the tough choice of abandoning that dream, recognizing that he had discovered a fresh passion that had the potential to provide both financial stability and personal autonomy.
Liang emphasised the significance of pursuing a vision that only you can envision. After abandoning his pharmacology aspirations, the entrepreneur devoted his efforts to expanding his company. In a few short years, he effectively utilised his social media earnings to establish numerous e-commerce brands in the private label and wholesale sectors.
With his companies' success, Wayne launched a venture capital firm, Liang Holdings in 2019, that he privately funded. The firm's assets have since surpassed $600 million, primarily distributed among the real estate and technology industries, with an annualised return of 9% thus far. As the firm expands its presence worldwide, Liang's goal is to continue supporting aspiring entrepreneurs and cultivating world-changing ideas.

"I aspire to inspire not just those close to me but also those who follow my journey from afar," Liang stated. As an experienced entrepreneur, he aims to highlight the importance and potential of pursuing one's genuine passions and not conforming to societal norms. "Forge a path that you'll take pride in," he advised.
