Ever wondered how a small business can turn a major setback into a groundbreaking opportunity? Let's dive into the inspiring journey of Must Love, a dairy-free ice cream company founded by Hannah Hong and Mollie Cha. Their story is a testament to the power of resilience, agility, and the sweet taste of innovation in the face of adversity. Starting with a shared love for sweets and a personal need for dairy-free options, Hannah and Mollie launched Must Love, tapping into the plant-based trend. Despite early success and securing deals with major retailers, they faced a significant challenge when their largest distributor discontinued their ice cream line. Instead of seeing this as the end, they pivoted to producing graham crackers, leveraging their entrepreneurial spirit and lessons learned from their initial venture. Their journey highlights the importance of staying agile, focusing your message, and the critical decision-making process when facing business challenges. With a new vision and optimism, Hannah and Mollie are now focusing on making Must Love cookies a pantry staple, emphasizing better snacking options without added sugar, sweetened 100% with dates. Their story is a powerful reminder of the importance of profitability, differentiation, and resilience in the face of challenges, offering valuable insights for businesses looking to navigate tough times successfully.

During the pandemic, I took the initiative to support my community by launching DELIVEZ0.1, an online medicine, grocery and restaurant food delivery service. 🚚 With DotPe, I created a website and sent links to customers via WhatsApp, making it easy for them to shop from the safety of their homes. This platform not only provided convenience to customers but also helped local shop and restaurant owners sustain their businesses during challenging times. Proud to have contributed to my community and honed my entrepreneurial skills during such a critical period. 💪 #Entrepreneurship #PandemicInitiative #FoodDelivery #CommunitySupport #Innovation #DigitalTransformation

When you first dive into entrepreneurship, it’s easy to feel lost and overwhelmed. That’s exactly how I felt transitioning from being a doctor to founding Spice Basket. Amidst the chaos, certain books can serve as guiding lights, and Jim Collins' "Good to Great" has been one such beacon for me. Here are the key lessons I’ve learned, applied directly to my journey with Spice Basket: 1. Level 5 Leadership: Leading with humility and determination has helped me stay grounded and focused on our vision of bringing a food revolution. 2. First Who, Then What: Building a passionate team that believes in my mission and not only understands the importance of pure, natural food but also prioritizes quality has been our foundation. 3. Confront the Brutal Facts: Being honest about our challenges, like market competition in the FMCG industry with corporate giants catering to the majority of the market has driven us to innovate and improve our products. 4. Hedgehog Concept: Focusing on what we do best—providing washed, naturally dried, authentic, chemical & additives free food products—has given us a clear direction. 5. Culture of Discipline: Maintaining high standards in sourcing the best quality products and our production method of washing and naturally drying spices and other food products has ensured the unbeatable quality and consistency of our products. 6. Technology Accelerators: Embracing e-commerce, digital marketing and online community building has expanded our reach and connected us with spice enthusiasts and health conscious people across the country. Embracing these principles has transformed Spice Basket from a mere idea into a growing enterprise. "Good to Great" has not just been a book; it’s been a blueprint for success. Here’s to striving for greatness, no matter where you start or where you end up! #GoodToGreat #Entrepreneurship #LifeLessons #FromDoctorToFounder #SpiceBasket

To sell doughnuts to local grocery stores. But here’s the twist: the smell of those warm, sugary treats was just too irresistible. People started knocking on his door, eager to buy them fresh from the oven. So, Vernon did something clever—he cut a hole in the wall and started selling directly to passersby. And just like that, Krispy Kreme’s famous walk-up window was born. Today, Krispy Kreme has become a global sensation, with that iconic “Hot Now” sign lighting up to let us know a fresh batch is ready. All because one entrepreneur seized a sweet opportunity to share the joy of warm doughnuts with the world. Curious to see how a single recipe turned into a worldwide doughnut craze?

⏰ DAY 25 Business Idea - ‘BETTER FOR YOU PASTA BRAND’ 👇 💰 PROBLEM - Kraft Pasta sells more than 1 million boxes of its pasta each day in the UK. It tastes great and has achieved mass market appeal but it has literally no nutritional benefit in it what-so-ever 💰 IDEA - A better for you pasta brand. Same tasting, easy to cook, high in protein, and available in a range of flavours. 💰 BRAND NAME - SuperMac.co.uk (available via GoDaddy). 🚀 P.S - My main channel for these short-form videos is @MrFounder on TikTok but I thought there would be value in sharing them here on Linkedin - everyone here loves business, right? #businessidea #entrepreneur #mrfounder #startups #business #digitalmarketing #innovation #d2c #directoconsumer #online #marketing #startup #buildinginpublic #newbusiness #contentcreator #betterforyouproduct

They wanted to serve something different, something with more flavor, and that’s how the iconic Whopper was born. But here’s the twist: Burger King didn’t just follow in the footsteps of other fast-food chains—they took risks, focused on innovation, and made their mark by challenging the competition. From their cheeky marketing campaigns to their bold product ideas, BK wasn’t just about selling burgers; they were about creating an experience. As entrepreneurs, what can we take from this? It’s a reminder that standing out in a crowded market means doing things differently—and sometimes that’s exactly what it takes to go from small grill to global success. Watch the full story of how Burger King went from a small Miami operation to the flame-grilled giant we know today. 🍟🚀 #Entrepreneurship #FastFoodSuccess #Innovation #BurgerKing #BusinessStrategy #InnovationsMastery #InspirationForEntrepreneurs

"Sometimes a blessing doesn't look like a blessing... but it turns out to be a blessing" - Robert Kiyosaki Case in point, I turned up at 8am to a market yesterday and NO one was there, no other stands, no customers. It was just me, in an empty car park. I started to panic as I'd been up since 5:30am baking my sausage rolls, I had all of these perishable goods in the van, potentially going to waste. I called the council number who put the market on, no answer. So I waited... When a shop opposite opened, I went and talked to them. They told me that there was a market, but it's dwindling and it looks like there's no other stands today. I had no choice but to set-up and sell my heart out. And... it worked. The local residents of Cromer could not resist my baked goods, and by 1pm I was sold out. I'm in sales, so I'm wired to be driven, tenacious and used to rejection, but sometimes when you think you're going to fail, maybe you won't. You've just got to go for it and see what happens. Will I do this market again, of course I will! p.s. I wanted a picture of my empty stand after I sold out, to document this moment in my journey.
