How I Started & Scaled My AI-Powered Company to 7 Figures in 12 Months: From Zero to Success with Grit, Purpose, and the Power of AI

Rethink Business. Redefine Growth. Let AI Do the Heavy Lifting.

Tired of startup advice built around VC funding, long hours, and endless team meetings? How I Started and Scaled My AI-Powered Company to 7 Figures in 12 Months offers a practical alternative—one that uses AI as your co-founder, not just a tool.

Joys Lee shares how she launched Create Value International and scaled it to over RM600 million in total transacted value, all without an office, full-time staff, or external capital. Her approach is lean, digital, and deeply human: using AI not to replace people, but to empower them—starting with herself.
