Hardwork, Teamwork, and Perseverance
Joining the IFBCC 2017 was never on team to-do-list but they were very grateful that Mr. Moch. Riyadh Rizky Adam, as their Business Administration lecturer from Swiss German University, introduced the team to the event. If it weren’t for their lecturer, the team wouldn’t be standing with their heads held high as the 2nd winners of the IFBCC 2017. It was such a great honor to be chosen as the top 3 winners out of 90 groups from a variety of universities that joined the event and received acknowledgement by the renowned PT. Dyandra Promosindo. As winners, they didn’t think that they were better off than other entrepreneurs or newly established labels in the market. They still had great many things to learn, especially about the market and how to be great entrepreneurs. The title only pushes them to become even better and more open to future opportunities while also encouraging others like them to join in and believe in their creative, unique ideas. They also believe they could never achieved such approval without each ETHOS’ member’s hard work, consistent teamwork, and earnest perseverance.
