When they close down a business after 42 years It was heartbreaking to see my usual tea shop closing down. Both sisters have been running this together for 42+ years and decided to take a break for good. This has been my usual place to go for my favourite Hot Honey Lemon, Coffee Si Siew Dai, or Hot Milo whenever I am working from the office. There has been so many short conversations and memories with these two sisters over the last 15 months. When asked why they had been doing this business for so long, they mentioned they enjoyed serving people’sfavourite drinks. When asked why they decided to close down, they mentioned they haven’t taken a break for many years except for the Chinese New Year holidays; and margins went down recently with so many new drink shops around now. When asked about what they intend to do next, they mentioned they just want to take a break for a few months, see the world, take good rest, and decide later on their next adventure. While I am sad that my favourite shop will no longer be there for my favourite drinks, I am grateful for their service and decision to take a break before they take the next big step. Entrepreneurs keep on inspiring at every stage of life. Reflecting on their journey and decision, I thought about what they could have done: 1. Add new drinks like bubble Tea, Fusion drinks to the menu that the young folks are willing to pay for and consume more of. 2. Expand the outlet to another location and diversify for future growth, step by step. 3. Move to another location where there is demand and not too much competition. 4. Train a younger generation of staff who can take the legacy forward. I shared few of these with them in recent conversations. It seems they are pondering these suggestions. SMEs have been badly hit in the last 4~5 years, despite government support.

The Success Story behind the House of Pops and the founder Mazen Kanaan One of those stories that started with : "You are not good enough to do that". And replied: "Watch me". House of Pops began six years ago with a simple idea: to create delicious, all-natural popsicles. The founder Mazen Kanaan and his now wife Marcela Sancho faced challenges, but their commitment to quality and sustainability paid off. Today, their brand is a #success, proving that with passion and perseverance, small ideas can lead to big #achievements. Starting House of Pops was driven by a deep desire to create something #unique and #meaningful. Despite beginning with a traditional 9-to-5 job, the founders had a vision for healthier, natural popsicles that filled a gap in the market. The journey officially began with a partnership that merged personal and professional lives, turning a shared dream into reality. In the early days, juggling a full-time job with building a new business was challenging, but their passion kept them motivated. From crafting pops in a small kitchen to selling at markets and eventually opening a store, each milestone was a testament to their hard work and belief in their product. Even during tough times like the COVID-19 pandemic, they adapted, moving their business online and continuing to grow. Today, House of Pops is a thriving brand with a presence in supermarkets, hotels and events across multiple countries. Their team has expanded and so has their product line, now including plant-based gelatos. The journey was filled with challenges, from managing cash flow to entering new markets, but their perseverance paid off. For new entrepreneurs, the advice is simple:  *Success is not a straight path.* You will face setbacks and rejections, but don’t be discouraged.

At the core of every thriving community are the small businesses that infuse life, character, and passion into our neighborhoods. Today, I want to shine a spotlight on these unsung heroes who continuously enrich our lives and local economies. Small businesses are more than just storefronts; they're the embodiment of dreams, hard work, and dedication. They're the cozy café where neighbors gather for a cup of coffee and a chat, a sushi restaurant your friend always dreamed of, the boutique where every purchase tells a story, and the family-owned restaurant where traditions are shared and memories are made. Amidst the challenges of recent times, small businesses have shown resilience, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to serving their communities. They've pivoted their operations, embraced digital platforms, and found innovative ways to stay connected with customers near and far. Now, more than ever, it's crucial to rally behind these local treasures and show our support. Whether it's choosing to shop locally, dining at a neighborhood eatery, or spreading the word about your favorite small businesses, every action makes a difference. I would love to celebrate the entrepreneurs, artisans, and visionaries who make our communities vibrant and unique. Together, let's champion the spirit of small business and ensure that they continue to thrive for generations to come. 💼🌱 #SupportSmallBusiness #ShopLocal #CommunityStrong

#Founders - Don't get stuck trying to build the right thing from day one!🐘 I've seen too many startups waiting to "get it right", then "failed to launch". Very few successful companies ended up being what they set out to be. The market wants what the market wants, and your job is to read the tea leaves and adjust! Early success and revenue gives you time and options!🕰️ It also gets you customers and reputation to leverage!🤩 There are a ton of stories about companies like YouTube, which started as a dating site....🙃 Or companies like AirBNB that were focused on conference and event housing...🏠 Or Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, etc... But I didn't know the Marriott story I read in The Hustle and I love it! From a 9 seat franchise to ... well... MARRIOTT! https://lnkd.in/g7ABqMNr ➡️ Don't sit around waiting for perfect. Start something. ➡️ Don't focus on big. Focus on customers. ➡️ Don't focus on your exit. Focus on your business!

🌟 ¿Qué vendes realmente en tu negocio? 🤔 Esta pregunta me la hizo un cliente cuando recién iniciaba mis primeras aventuras emprendedoras, en este caso una cafetería. Mi respuesta fue sencilla y literal: vendo café de calidad y buenos productos con un servicio que marca la diferencia. ☕✨ Pero él me corrigió: "No, no es solo eso lo que vendes. Lo que me trae aquí cada día es la experiencia completa. Es la suma de todo lo que ofreces, más esos pequeños grandes detalles que hacen única tu propuesta. La atención, la conversación, el ambiente, la música, los cuadros de fincas cafeteras que tienes en las paredes, etc. Por eso elijo tu cafetería y no la de enfrente." 🎨🎵 Este consejo fue un punto de inflexión para mí. Con el tiempo, he comprendido que los clientes buscan más que productos o servicios; necesitan soluciones a sus problemas o satisfacer una necesidad específica. Si la experiencia que ofreces resuena con ellos, eso se convierte en tu verdadera propuesta de valor. Así que mi consejo es cuidar cada detalle de la experiencia que proporcionas. No se trata solo de lo que vendes, sino de cómo y porqué lo vendes. 🌟👌 ¿Y tú, has pensado en qué experiencia estás vendiendo en tu negocio? 💭📈 Te leo en los comentarios. #ExperienciaDeCliente #PropuestaDeValor #Emprendimiento #Cafetería #NegociosExitosos #InnovaciónEnNegocios #EmprendeConPropósito #CulturaDeEmpresa
