00:00From food to business naman tayo,
00:02alamin kung paano nagsimula ang negosyo
00:04ng isang Chinese couple na ngayon
00:06ay unti-unti nang nakikilala.
00:08Tara na at ma-inspire sa kanilang kwento
00:09kasama si Diane Medina Illustre.
00:12Dito lang sa Negosyo Tayo.
00:19Dwight here,
00:20you already have a background when it comes to business.
00:23So, meron kang family business
00:24and now, nagtayo kayo ng girlfriend mo.
00:27Paano ito nagsimula?
00:28Ako mismo, very passionate ako sa business
00:31and ever since I was a kid,
00:35exposed na ako sa business environment
00:37kasi actually Chinese kami dalawa.
00:39So, usually in a Chinese family,
00:42you're very much exposed to businesses
00:43and yun, parang yun yung spark sa akin
00:46to make a business.
00:48So, this is Elia's secret own recipe.
00:52Bali is started noong pandemic times.
00:55Parang maraming free time ganon.
00:56I was experimenting with different flavors
00:59and stuff sa bahay lang talaga.
01:01Ano ba yung mga natutunan nyo
01:03while building this business of yours?
01:04May mga challenges na ba along the way?
01:07Actually, yung challenges niya
01:09is more of sa start talaga.
01:11It was supposed to be like a frozen,
01:13yung concept niya was frozen food
01:15na ready to eat.
01:15But then,
01:17nung binigay sa akin ng girlfriend ko,
01:20si Elia,
01:20ng recipe of the shrimp,
01:22na-inspire siya actually sa food na,
01:25if you know yung food na membo siya,
01:26yung sa Korean sandwich siya
01:29na may shrimp sa gitna,
01:30na finna-fry.
01:31And then, I was thinking,
01:32maybe we can sell that.
01:34But then,
01:35I tried to do it
01:36and then, parang hindi siya feasible
01:37in the market to sell online.
01:40So,
01:40inisip ko na lang
01:41to make it like an empanada.
01:42Yung filling niya was the shrimp
01:44tapos maroon siyang dipping sauce.
01:45So, right now,
01:46you're selling online.
01:48Yeah.
01:48How's the business doing so far
01:50since,
01:51sabi niyo,
01:51you started Feb
01:52and this is something new
01:53in the market?
01:55Um, yun.
01:56Maroon siyang challenges
01:57na since we just started ng Feb
01:59and since it's new in the market.
02:01So, people don't really know
02:02how to gauge,
02:03kunyari,
02:03kung mahal ba siya
02:04or mura ba siya.
02:05And so,
02:06sometimes if we give our prices
02:08to people,
02:08since it's new,
02:09mabubulaga sila na parang,
02:10uy, ang mahal ng food niyo.
02:12But then,
02:13we try to parang,
02:15pinapakita namin sa kanila na
02:17it's still acceptable
02:18kasi yung loob naman namin
02:20is filled with shrimp
02:21and sulit talaga siya
02:23and flavorful talaga siya.
02:25So, aside from that,
02:26yung challenges namin was
02:27yun,
02:28introducing an actual new food
02:30in the market
02:30na kailangan namin siya
02:32i-find nung way
02:33kung paano namin
02:34ipapakita sa tao
02:35na it's something
02:36acceptable and palatable
02:38sa Filipino community.
02:39So,
02:40kayo mismo talaga
02:41ang gumagawa?
02:42Yeah.
02:43Nung sa start,
02:44kami mismo,
02:45pero as time went by,
02:46we trained people
02:47to help us in.
02:49What are your tips
02:49or advice
02:50to those aspiring entrepreneurs?
02:52For me,
02:52sometimes kasi people
02:53are so afraid
02:54to start something
02:55and they tend to overthink
02:56and they tend to plan
02:57and they tend to overplanning
02:59na nun siya.
03:00So, for me,
03:01it's much better
03:02to just sometimes
03:03just start it.
03:04Sometimes you just have
03:05to start it
03:05and then along the way,
03:06that's where you will
03:07actually learn
03:07instead of studying
03:08before starting.
03:14Mmm.
03:16Super.
03:21Success is not just
03:22about reaching the top
03:23but about enjoying the climb.
