Join us for an evening of exploration and insight as we delve into the quest for clarity in our entrepreneurial journeys. As business owners, we understand the continuous pursuit of clarity can feel like a rollercoaster ride, with moments of certainty and times when everything seems “blur.”
In this gathering, we emphasise the importance of clarity in defining our mission, values, and goals. Who do we serve, and how can we best meet the needs of our audience? Without clarity, we risk wasting time, money, and resources, and losing sight of our objectives.
As a diverse community of entrepreneurs, we recognize that each of us is at a different point in our journey towards clarity. Some may have crystal-clear visions, while others may find themselves in a fog in certain aspects of their business. Yet, regardless of our individual experiences, we all have valuable insights and wisdom to share.
We invite you as ‘human libraries’ for the evening where you will mingle with other ‘human libraries’ and share your experience in supporting, encouraging and helping others find their clarity.
Meet the Special Guests
There will be three ‘special human libraries’ (three successful local entrepreneurs) who will share their experiences in finding clarity in their businesses.
Jasmine Chong
Jasmine Chong is the visionary co-founder and owner of Lab Studios, a premier wellness brand in Singapore. She has skillfully steered the company’s expansion from its inception as Yoga Lab in 2016 to a comprehensive wellness conglomerate, now comprising Yoga Lab, Barre Lab, and Flow Lab across seven locations in Singapore. Demonstrating strategic acumen, Jasmine seamlessly transitioned the business online within 24 hours of the COVID-19 lockdown announcements, ensuring business continuity. This period also marked a pivotal shift, with her initiating the creation of an academy for all movement disciplines, diversifying and fortifying the brand, leading to its most successful years yet.
Jasmine’s approach to achieving business clarity involves meticulous analysis of data trends, proactive global market research, and a commitment to product excellence, which sets Lab Studios apart in the competitive wellness industry. She prioritises decisions based on the ‘effort/payoff’ analysis, focusing on emotional fulfilment and long-term sustainability over short-term financial gains.
Her strategic leadership was further exemplified by the decisive closure of the online operations post-pandemic to refocus on enhancing the physical studio experience, underscoring her emphasis on focused resource allocation. Lab Studios thrives as a self-funded venture, showcasing resilience and a steadfast commitment to core values.
