Lessons from my nine year old daughter: As we drove to school this morning, she noticed the number of 'koko"(porridge) vendors along the road side. Within a 2 kilo meter stretch, she had already counted more than 10. She enquired from me if calabash was truly what was used in olden days(when I was her age), and I affirmed that. Surprised, she asked why the transitioning from 'koko' in calabash to rubber happened. Unsure exactly what to say because I have never seriously thought about it, I answered that the sellers probably wanted to make it easier for customers to take the food away rather than having to eat it at the selling point as that was the case during the calabash usage. She asked, why can't the calabash be taken away by the customers? She went further to add that customers can bring the calabash from home to buy the KoKo. According to her,it is healthier (obviously) than the rubber and can also be used for other purposes. This got me thinking 🤔 and immediately SGD goals came to mind. How about reinventing the KoKo industry with the usage of calabash? Coming from someone who never takes Koko,I must admit that I was surprised 😮 but commended her for such a good observation. And oh,coupled with a just-ended webinar by Ms. Clara Pinkrah-Sam on sustainability, I am ready to run with the SGD goals in my business, Add brand(an E-commerce platform for natural made in Ghana products 😀.

Good example of building something valuable even if you are non-tech. If you divide the sales proceed in the story by 10 years (time they spent building the biz), most of us can't make that kind of figure as annual salary ever. So why aim for a unicorn outcome when all you need is merely something 10 times better than what you have now?! This means any biz has the potential to create good and even great value, not just the tech biz. CONCLUSION: Build your 10 million dollar biz first before you aim for a 1 billion dollar biz.

The future is already here, we just have to look for the signals. To me, one of the strongest signals of 'made in China' revamping its image was when I saw a Hey Tea ad on Sydney's LRT. I never imagined a brand from a tier 3 city in China in only 8 years time would end up being plastered in Sydney's CBD with people spending hours waiting in line at Haymarket for a taste. However, this is not the only signal. There are many more. Notably: 1. Florasis leading C-beauty in global markets with its store opening in Europe 2. Baijiu brands such as Moutai rank in the most valuable spirit brands in the world (Korean Soju brands lead in volume) The speed of China playing a competitive premium role depend on the weight of its baggage. For example, Mainland China does not have the same soft power as its competitors Japan and South Korea in western markets. But it is gaining momentum in Asia. #madeinchina
