@Sri Govindaraju and her husband are co-owners of @Zealandia Honey in New Zealand.

Sri recently published an update on #linkedin, a very honest, open and honest and personal post, about being in #smallbusiness with her husband.

It's a ripping and wide ranging conversation about;

#familybusiness
leaving the security of a #paypacket to into business
moving to New Zealand from India in 2007
her educational background in #foodscience and #technology
upskilling in business communication
her first business (Flavours Authentic Indian Food) - started while she still had her job and her children were still young
finding strengths she didn't know she had
the start of Zealandia Honey
the why for starting - to export #manukahoney to India because India was at that time (and she still thinks) is the diabetic capital of the world
wanting to make difference to people's lives by introducing honey
the #pressurecooker of starting a business
entertaining the idea of going back to work last year, because last year (Covid19) was a pretty low point
listening to the universe's way of saying stick it out
#teamwork - understanding that not everyone who's a visionary can do the operation side, and not everyone who's in the operations can be a visionary
how the ebbs and flow of business impact my children
deciding why it's best to never getting into another business with my husband (REMAINING A FAMILY)
her lifetime ambition is to be of service to people and create #impact
#inspiration from her #dad a warehouse manager at Indian Railways who saw a lot of both misery and happiness coming through that warehouse (caused by financial pressure) that he overcame by creating an innovative financial system - he touched so many hundreds of people's lives through that
empowerment of women in my community
#businessmentors
her lessons for other business founders
