In the 1990s, when Malaysia was facing an economic recession, housewives took up some part-time jobs to ease the financial burden at home and support their children's education. Josephine was one of those. To earn more to help the children's education and the family expenses, she started her business by selling herbal tea. However, herbal tea was not popular among the people in Sarawak back then; the people loved carbonated drinks over herbal tea. Therefore, herbal tea could hardly be sold. The common feedback was, “We will try your herbal tea when it becomes as popular as carbonated drinks.” How demotivating.

In her distress, her father told her, “Expand the width of your business.” Therefore, she took it on and started selling herbal tea to various places and areas in Sarawak. Her husband, Andy, did a lot of preparation for her to travel to places to work. At the same time, he is also working hard in his position.
