Helen Read always felt she was an "accidental entreprenuer". Ms Read almost happened by accident. Helen had been a clothing manufacturer since 1979, but in 1997 took a chance and asked a buyer from Jusco to give her a space in his new department store. That space became Ms Read, Malaysia's first plus-size clothing brand. In this episode, Helen and Kristy talk about: - How Ms Read started: with an opportunity Helen just said "yes" to;
- Growth is not about skill, it's about finding the courage to solve problems as you go; - Longterm thinking: even if a business is yours to start, it does not mean it's yours to finish; and
- The importance of trust and faith.
