Be brave and be patient. Have faith in yourself and Trust in the significance of your life and The purpose of your passion. - Anonymous
In this episode, I am introducing you to Elizabeth Ellis.
Elizabeth Ellis is an award-winning journalist from the US who is now working in Hong Kong as a Communications Manager for Renaissance College. Elizabeth has over 15 years of professional experience in writing and editing for a variety of publications.
When asked what is one key thing that all entrepreneurs should know when starting a business, Elizabeth answered that people need to remember that customers are everything. Even when customers are being difficult: they are right - because they are your customers.
Key Point: Remember that Customers are Everything. Take the feedback constructively and do not take feedback personally.
Elizabeth also shared that kindness goes a long way. Kindness is totally free and it is not given out nearly enough. Simple acts of kindness like a barista drawing a smiley face on someone’s coffee cup can brighten that person’s day :)
