[FULL] Sha: “Contracts In Business Saved Our Lives”, Her Entrepreneurial Journey In Say What SG And The Story Of How Contracts Are Important In Businesses

If there is one thing I learnt from Sha about starting a business, it is to start it properly with legal contracts. The contracts are there to protect us during tough times. It was a conversation I needed to really get The Decode Diary up to speed and a legal business. This conversation came in at the right time. Sha is such a kind and lovely nanny, as she calls herself, but also a wonderful friend. If you listen to the entire conversation, you will find out how she left the Ministry of Education as a teacher to start her own business, tutoring kids in English and Science. The entrepreneurial journey didn’t just stop there, she started a pastry shop with her business partner, and immediately got out of the business when the numbers were in red. To that, I call it a smart exit. Listen on to find out how she started her podcasting journey and how she runs this business!
