Love Lokal
Let’s meet 10 inspiring brands from Singapore!
Recently, I had the privilege of attending "Crib Connect" by the Crib Society, a gathering that brought together ten remarkable women, each a founder of a Singaporean local brand. This event was not just an opportunity to network; it was a chance to be inspired by their journeys, their stories, and their passion for entrepreneurship.
Each founder shared their brand story. Their journeys were filled with challenges, triumphs, and invaluable lessons. Listening to these women was not only motivating but also filled with practical insights for anyone pursuing their entrepreneurial dreams. Here are some key takeaways:
Passion Fuels Success: Every successful entrepreneur has a deep passion for their business, and it's this passion that keeps them going, even in the face of adversity.
Resilience is Key: Challenges are part and parcel of the entrepreneurial journey. It's how you bounce back from setbacks that truly matters.
Community Matters: Building a supportive network and being part of a community can make a significant difference in an entrepreneur's life.
