Chinese New Year 2014: Which Zodiac Sign Makes You Your Millions?

Chinese New Year 2014, the Year of the Wooden Horse, marks a fresh start for those who follow the tradition and according to two Anglo-Asian entrepreneurs, there is a lot that can be learned from the new calendar cycle.

According to John Lee and Vincent Wong, co-founders of Wealth Dragons, investors and business executives can learn a lot from Chinese New Year through cultural beliefs.

"The Chinese New Year is such an auspicious and spiritual time, setting the tone for the rest of the year – I am really excited," said Lee.

"Whilst 31 December is best known for partying and starting afresh on 1st January, for Asian communities, how the New Year starts will dictate how the year continues thereafter, setting a precedent for the rest of the year.

"For me, both personally and professionally, I have experienced a great deal of change over the last two years and am grateful for the lessons I have learnt. This New Year is all about moving forward with strength and grace, like the Wooden Horse".

According to Lee and Wong, the year of the Wooden Horse will impact entrepreneurs born under different years.

Dragon: good year and no major setbacks

Horse: this year will challenge those born under this sign and individuals should be well prepared

Goat: a positive start to the year although watch for challenges at the end of the year

Monkey: this sign has the opportunity to achieve a great deal

Rooster: this year will be steady without dramatic ups or downs

However, the duo say that since it is the year of the horse, which is known for its speed and grace, investors have to stay grounded and alert. They also add that a natural competitive spirit is "healthy as long as ego doesn't override" your life.

"Ego can be the biggest downfall for any business leader. Once we think we know it all, this is the first sign of slipping down the ladder for any business leader," say Lee and Wong.
