Business Partner, halfway back? 😅

This happened 4 months after GASM Chocolates started.

A partner... halfway back out, in Singapore, flying in and out every month, leaving me to build this brand alone. Do you think it's fair?

We put down hundreds of thousands of money ourselves.

Are you tired? All recipes and kitchen knowledge are with him.

But luckily, a girlfriend quit his salary.

Come to help... despite having never caught the kitchen before

How's the word "wade"?!!

... Read moreสำหรับใครที่กำลังคิดจะเริ่มธุรกิจหรือมีปัญหาเหมือนกับผม คือ พาร์ทเนอร์ถอยออกจากการร่วมงาน แม้จะท้อแท้ในบางครั้ง แต่ผมหาวิธีจัดการกับสถานการณ์นี้โดยการมองหาแรงสนับสนุนจากคนใกล้ตัว อย่างแฟนที่ไม่เคยทำครัวมาก่อน แต่ก็เต็มใจมาช่วยทำให้ธุรกิจเดินหน้าไปได้ ผมอยากแนะนำว่าการทำธุรกิจนั้นเต็มไปด้วยความไม่แน่นอน โดยเฉพาะเมื่อต้องพึ่งพาพาร์ทเนอร์ ผู้ประกอบการควรเตรียมใจและวางแผนสำรองไว้เสมอ เช่น การเรียนรู้สูตรและวิธีการทำเอง เพื่อไม่ให้ธุรกิจหยุดชะงักเมื่อใครคนใดคนหนึ่งถอยออก นอกจากนี้ การสื่อสารที่ชัดเจนและเปิดใจกับพาร์ทเนอร์เป็นสิ่งสำคัญ หากรู้สึกว่าเกิดปัญหา ควรพูดคุยเพื่อหาทางออกร่วมกัน และถ้าเขาต้องถอยออกจริงๆ ก็ยังเหลือทีมที่พร้อมสู้ไปด้วยกัน ในส่วนของคำว่า 'ลุย' สำหรับผมมาถึงตอนนี้หมายถึงการไม่ยอมแพ้และสู้ด้วยตัวเองอย่างเต็มที่ การมีคนข้างกายที่พร้อมสนับสนุนช่วยทำให้การเริ่มต้นธุรกิจเป็นเรื่องที่ท้าทายแต่ก็สนุกและคุ้มค่า ไม่ว่าคุณจะเจอปัญหาแบบผมหรือไม่ ขอให้มีความกล้าที่จะก้าวเดินต่อไปครับ
