The true spirit of entrepreneurship evolves from trial and error, the courage to try new things and not being afraid of adversity. It is about doing what you love, and what you strongly believe in, and sticking by it. It is about putting all your ideas into action and do the impossible. Letting your dreams take flight.
One entrepreneur that truly inspired me is Lyn Lee, owner of Awfully Chocolate. The search of the perfect chocolate cake was a great disappointment, and as a chocolate lover, she decided to create her very own chocolate cake, her definition of perfect. And what better way to turn what you love into a business, something profitable, and to be able to share with everyone. Initially, they started out small, with a small shop that only served one chocolate cake. This may seem like an unusual marketing strategy. But it is the uniqueness that make customers wonder what is so special about their cake? Their business has been growing ever since.
She also opened Everything with Fries, a restaurant inspired by the young staff. Having worked under her before, I feel that despite her success, she listens to ideas from everyone and empowers her staff which is essential in helping the company to grow.
