Running a business overseas from Australia with Chris Edwards

You don’t exactly plan to have a business in another country but that’s how it panned out for Chris Edwards, and it’s working well.

Chris followed her husband to Singapore as a “trailing spouse’ in 2008 during the global financial crisis. She struggled to find a job that matched her strong marketing background, skills sets and pay expectations, and instead found herself stuck between jobs that didn’t excite her.

Chris is the person everyone asks for recommendations on everything across Asia - and that's why she started Honeycombers - a digital lifestyle magazine in Singapore, Hong Kong and Bali.

This serial entrepreneur is not only the founder of Honeycombers but also Make It In Media, LaunchPad, and a business coach.

Chris talks about going into business with co-founders and picking up the pieces after they left, her company values, hiring staff, and how a business coach helped her through a scarcity mindset. 

There are so many take away nuggets for business owners -  ‘If it’s not fun and it doesn’t come easy and it’s not bringing you joy, stop doing it’.

Meet my friend - and business coach - Chris from Honeycombers.
