He said to me,‘when I die, son, don’t shed a tear for me because I have led the life of 3 men’.  \nBuilding a chocolate business is a beautiful thing. At the start, I didn’t realise it. But it truly is. It gives me pride when I tell people what I do. It has taken me on such a journey. I’ve met and hung out with a billionaire on his yacht. An ex-primeminister has been introduced to me (it should be the other way around, right?) . I know of a number of Hollywood actors and famous sports stars who have eaten my chocolate. I’ve travelled to China, Japan, Malaysia, USA, Europe and Dubai . I’ve been on live TV, the Bake-Off Professionals, done other TV shows, radio and media demo events . All because of chocolate. And the adventure continues.  \nWhen I told my father I was starting a chocolate company, he asked me,‘who on earth is going to buy your chocolate son?’Well dad, I too have led the life of 3 men and it’s all because of chocolate.”  \nSTEPHEN TRIGG – LAUDEN CHOCOLATE  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)","cbCailDnJ3oEsiYT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailDnJ3oEsiYT","pdf",64374807,1,659,"English","en",105,"# Preface\n# The Contributors\n# Lead With the “Why”\n## Your purpose: why would your business be relevant to people?\n# New or Existing Business?\n## Taking over an existing business\n## Continuing an existing (family) business\n# Understanding Your Market (Potential)\n## Research your market\n# Create Your Brand\n## Shape your brand identity\n# Marketing Strategy\n## The 6 Ps of marketing\n# Your Finances: Budgeting and Cash Flow\n## Tool 1: Budget plan\n## Tool 2: Cash flow (projection) plan\n# Funding or Savings?
