\u201cI\u2019d say you are an individual. Someone else could be doing the same thing as you are but you are you, no one else can have your perspective, so just being able to be you and bring your perspective to your brand and product, that\u2019s how it\u2019s going to make you stand out and then market your brand towards that.\u201d\xa0

I has so much fun chatting with Van! I love the idea of inviting to the show Asian females who\u2019re aspiring small business owners at the same time and have this opportunity to dive into the brand\u2019s story and mission, feature their products and support industrious and fierce females towards living their dreams and fulfilling their purpose. Did you like it too? Let me know in the comments!

Here are the takeaways:

1. \xa0It is almost intrinsic in us as humans to want to serve and give and it may require less energy than you think is needed because you\u2019re inherently receiving while giving\xa0
2. You don\u2019t need a degree to know business; it\u2019s about empathy, about how to treat your customers and making the effort to connect with them and give them a great experience
3. Be willing to learn and be a student\xa0
4. Stay laser focused on your mission and purpose behind why you started and that will help you get through the harder days that makes you think about giving up\xa0
5. The work of a small business owner requires hard work and is respectable\xa0
6. When you support a small business, you are supporting someone else\u2019s dream\xa0
7. Listen to your heart but be smart about it\xa0
8. Be okay with failing\xa0
9. You are you, no one else can have your perspective. Bring your perspective to your brand and marketing it towards that\xa0
10. Van\u2019s favorite mantras: \u201cNothing worth it comes easy\u201d and \u201cThis too shall pass\u201d
