How Andy Albalous Won Gordon Ramsay's Future Food Stars Award & Built Drops of Heal

1. Your fear of failure will hold you back — If you’re too afraid of failure, your project will never get off the ground in the first place. Through founding his own company, Andy found value in establishing with himself that continual trial and error only meant improving and honing whatever your speciality may be — there’s value in hopeful naivety and letting yourself try.

2. Explore a niche within your niche to understand your customers — In trying to grow Drops of Heal, Andy and our host Bejay spoke about the importance of regularly going back to your consumers to improve your brand and solidify its presence within entrepreneurial spaces. ‘Exploring a niche within your niche’ isn’t as complicated as it sounds; all this means is digging deep and trying new niches within the space you occupy, and actively including customers in the process.

3. Don’t underestimate the power of knowledge; learning is a constant — Ego in entrepreneurship is easy to gain, but even more difficult to rise above; don’t assume that your learning journey has ended after you’ve found success — there is always more to mind.

4. Train yourself to train your mind — Speaking about the value of personal training, Andy highlighted the way this impacted his clarity of thought and approach to his business, particularly in being able to have the space to achieve calm and more time.

5. Find your ‘why’ — What motivates you? Understanding your vision is key to curbing stagnancy and making sure that your business survives through bouts of imposter syndrome and general self-doubt.
