From visiting tea suppliers and touring a tea factory to learning about the tea industry, this trip was a major step in building a brand and growing our boba business. Starting a business is no easy feat, but as a small business owner, I wanted to share the reality of what it’s like to go from quitting a 9-5 to running a food business full-time. If you’ve ever wondered how to start a business, especially in the beverage space, or what it takes to source high-quality ingredients, this video is for you! Join me and Leon, an entrepreneur couple, as we navigate the highs and lows of quitting our jobs (previous businesses) to start a new business, balancing travel and business, and making our dream a reality. If you're interested in starting your own milk tea brand, this business vlog gives you an inside look at what it really takes! 📌 Subscribe for more behind-the-scenes content on the startup journey and entrepreneur life! ♡ Resources Mentioned: Magic Arm / Small Rig: https://geni.us/3rsfd6K FREE Trial of Epidemic Sound: https://share.epidemicsound.com/vanessalau Use Code: VANESSA — gives 50% off for two months after the free trial (valid on all monthly plans).
