Observe honesty when dealing with customers

Mentors to pursue my dreams are my parents and elder brother. Their commitment and ability to withstand challenges in life have defined their success today.

Summary of business plan: Determination will drive me towards success

Learning from Failure

I have failed in the past and felt pain due to the expectations I had when starting out a clothes business when I was in my first year in campus. However, after the business failed to pick up, I did a personal evaluation test and realized that I had indirectly contributed to failure. For instance, I failed to conduct a feasibility study to understand the market and understand the needs then bring goods they wanted. From this lesson, I learnt that understanding the market, customer preferences, and needs contributes to the success of a business. Before starting my restaurant business, I will first study the market and position my firm to attract more customers.
