Unit four business blossoms as she spoke
John ewa put her hands behind her back to hide
That they were shaking
She couldn't however hide the line of sweat running down her forit
Which was caused partly by the heat of the television studio
But more by fear of the four people seated in front of her
They stayred back their blank faces giving no clues to what they would say next feeling dizzy
Januia took a deep breath
If she struggled to finish her presentation
And that is why i need your help in turning my new and exciting business into a successful one now chair woman of her own company
Januia is fond of saying the early bird catches the worm
The place
Where this happens is a valley a world away from any television studio
Moving carefully through the darkness
She passes row upon role of rose plants in an hour
These fields will be full of people working quickly to pick the flowers before sunrise it has to be done
Then says
John
These flowers are delicate
Jhng never thought that
This was something she would end up
Doing surrounded by roses as she was growing up
She paid them little attention
It was only after graduating from university overseas
And returning to visit her parents
That jang realized the potential conditions are ideal here
She says
This is a place where roses grow wild
Jang therefore decided to return to her hometown and grow roses
Which surprised many people
I wanted to experience the freedom of being my own boss
She said
But i also wanted to give something back to my hometown
As people say it takes a village to raise a child
She is not the only young person to have been bitten by the startubug all over the world
An increasing number of enterprising young people are thinking of starting their own businesses
As the growing economy creates more opportunities like jhang ang
They present their ideas in the hope of getting investment and advice
And they have the same passion and devotion
The majority meet with rejection a few like jhang ea find themselves lucky enough to get investment and the all important input and support for more experienced business people
The road to their success is however still a long and difficult one with many challenges along the way as someone who grew up in the country
Yang already knew about growing plants however like any entrepreneur who was just starting out
She still had a lot to learn
She has overcome a number of obstacles in nursing her business to the success cities
Today the biggest challenge at the initial phase was to persuade people to work for me
Which was totally outside my experience few in the village
Believed i could create a multimillion un business from flowers says shaang
After i went on tva major asian manufacturerr of cosmetics was willing to purchase my product and help with its distribution
It was only then that the locals began to believe me now my product is one of the best in asia
This year i can pay all my fellow workers at decent bonus seeing her peers who also dream of success and independence
Jann has mixed feelings
Though she welcomes the new entrepreneial spirit
She advises that people be realistic and seek guidance from expert consultants before rushing into things
I love running my own business
But it's not for everyone says shaang to succeed in business
You need more than a good idea
Hard work and determination
What really matters is a sound business plan access to capital and good management and negotiating skills
Most of all don't be too ambitious
You should know your own limits and those of the people
You work with for young people who have little life experience
That can be a challenge
What's mine is yours we've been told
Since we were toddlers
That it's good to share parents and teachers
Keep reminding us to share toys
Snacks
Books
Happy memories and sometimes even sorrows with others
When we grow up
We share photos
Life stories and opinions with people around us
And with those we don't know via social media
Taking it as an objective study psychologists have published various papers stating that the behavior of sharing is beneficial to setting up positive emotional bonding
Today
The action of sharing takes on extra meaning
It's not just about sharing sweets or frustration
It has expanded to almost every aspect of our lives
The whole world seems to be into sharing
We are using technology to reduce the money that we spend on goods and services
Or to make money out of those
That we don't use ourselves all of the time
These vary from car shares
To home shares and even to pet shares
The sharing
Economy is taking off in all sorts of areas
It is creating new ways of thinking
And is providing services to people
When and where they want them
This wealth of ways of sharing is a response to our increasing demand for quality goods and services at competitive prices all delivered at the click of a button
Whether it's an online shop
Where we can hire designer clothes at rock bottom prices or a platform from which we can rent out our flats for a couple of days
It's out there
Whether we're a lender or a borrower
It's a win win situation
Everyone makes or saves money
We also make connections
And sometimes even make new friends
What's more sharing encourages us to reuse items thereby cutting down on waste and set ups
Such as bike and car sharing do a further favor for the environment
By reducing the number of polluting vehicles on the road
But the sharing economy is not without its problems as is often the case all over the world
With new areas of economic activity
The sharing economy is developing faster than existing regulations or ongoing supervision
Some companies are taking unfair advantage of this situation to expand their share of the market
Often at the expense of more traditional and established companies in addition
The sharing economy is subject to abuse of trust
Some people have experienced damage to their properties whilst renting out their homes and others have found themselves
Victims of deft or attack while sharing rights
Finally
Personal data the heart of the sharing economy is not yet secure sharing platforms collect personal information about almost every part of our lives
Including our names
Locations
Bank information and individual preferences for goods and services
Yet the technology to prevent such information from leaking or being stolen still needs in provement
And the awareness of potential risks is low
Among both service providers and users noneless
What is in no doubt
Is that the sharing economy is increasingly relevant to our daily lives
As well as to the global economy
It is expanding at such a rate that we can only imagine what it will comprise in the future
What will we be sharing
Next who will be sharing and how and the most interesting question of all what type of society will all the sharing take us to
