ENTREPRENEURS often say that passion and grit are needed to see a venture through. And if there is one thing that the winners of The Star Outstanding Business Awards (SOBA) 2019 have shown, it is that perseverance is indeed often well rewarded.
“One of the major challenges when you start off is that things are always tough. You find that you are always working alone. But don’t give up. Keep on trying, keep on doing it. Eventually, you will get there, ” shares Patrick Sim, business development director of Secret Recipe Cakes & Cafe Sdn Bhd.
