Dubbed an “entrepreneur extraordinaire”, my first business venture was not Fipper, but discount shops that sold a wide array of products from homeware to stationery.These discount shops were able to sustain themselves in the market for 13 years, giving me a clear idea and understanding of entrepreneurship.As a businessman, what matters the most to me is people using my products rather than focusing on the profit margin.My entrepreneurial spirit would lead me to what I believed was a new business horizon that had a huge potential to grow—flip-flops.I believed flip-flops played a big part in humans’ daily routines, and they have even gone from being a basic footwear option to a fashionable garment.
