"We’re still working hard to bring it to another level. We go for courses to learn how to manage a company better, and how to improve our brand," says Mah. — The Star/Anis Abdullah

Samantha Mah did well on her first business venture but suffered a loss on her second. However, failure did not deter her and her two partners from moving on. They gave it another go until they could see the fruits of their labour.

Mah’s first business received an investment of RM10,000 from her sister, Natasha, 37. She and two investor-partners started an online boutique targeted at young women. After one-and-a-half years, business picked up and was quite good.
