Christina Ng, 29, Founder and owner of christyng.com

At the tender age of 4, Christina Ng already had a profound passion for shoes and wanted to be a shoe designer when she was older. When she was 24, she decided to materialise her dream and started christyng.com as a side business but her gorgeous shoes soon went viral on social media, and as they say, the rest is history.

The majority of businesses experiences many ups and downs, especially in the beginning, and christyng is one of them. Christina says, “One of the highest points was when we won a SME Innovation Challenge and were awarded with a grant of RM250K to kickstart our business. The lowest point we faced in the beginning was being shortchanged by our suppliers which caused us to lose a lot of money.”

Determined to make her business a success, she overcame the hurdle she faced by being resourceful and resilient. This led her to focus on networking and looking for financing to help expedite the business growth. She also learned from her mistakes and decided that the company would start to produce their own shoes instead.

“Based on my experience, a valuable piece of advice I’d give to someone who wants to successfully start a business will be ‘Cash is king’. Cash flow is oxygen. Make sure you manage your finances and keep a close eye on the accounts,” she concludes.
