Mothers are, undoubtedly, the unsung heroes in our lives. They give birth to us, cook our favourite meals, keep the house spick and span<\/a>, nurture us into becoming the people we are today\u2026 there\u2019s nothing they can\u2019t do. They\u2019re also willing to give entrepreneurship<\/a> a shot, even if that means potentially affecting their relationships with loved ones.<\/p>\n

This Mother\u2019s Day<\/a>, six mother-daughter and mother-son business duos in Singapore share with us what it\u2019s like working together. Who came up with the idea? How do they balance their personal and professional lives? What have they learned from each other? Here\u2019s what each pair has to say.<\/p>\n

Mother-daughter (and son) business duos on working together in Singapore<\/h2>\n

Phoebe Yang and Jonah Lim, founders of Jojomama<\/h3>\n

Working together requires constant communication and understanding. But what if your business partner is unable to do that? Jonah Lim, 22, a co-founder of Jojomama<\/a>, a social enterprise that sells resin crafts like coasters and key chains, has been diagnosed with non-verbal autism since young. After graduating from a special education school, he was placed in a sheltered workshop to work. However, Jonah couldn\u2019t cope with the 9-to-5 timing and struggled with understanding tasks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started training him in craft during his spare time and found that he learns progressively and is motivated when he sees his finished handiwork. So, I decided to start a business with him,\u201d 57-year-old Phoebe Yang explains.<\/p>\n

While everything has run smoothly since Jojomama\u2019s establishment, there are still challenges when the duo work together. \u201cDuring the festive period, or when a corporate order comes in with a tight deadline, Jonah has to work longer as he\u2019s my main artisan. Sometimes, he gets frustrated as he\u2019s on the spectrum. Jonah doesn\u2019t understand why he needs to work more than usual,\u201d Phoebe tells us.<\/p>\n

She explains to her son how adults (sometimes) work overtime to meet deadlines and rewards him with his favourite meal or place to go after he completes a challenging task.<\/p>\n

Has working together changed Phoebe and Jonah\u2019s relationship? The former replies in the affirmative. \u201cAt the start, Jonah almost ignored me when we were at home. I think he was afraid that I\u2019d give him work! He also reacted to me like a teacher more than a mum.\u201d Today, Jonah knows how to differentiate between work and home. He\u2019ll come close to Phoebe and hug her when they\u2019re not at the workplace.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, being in business with a non-verbal person lets Phoebe understand her son better. She notes the things that upset him, how he manages them, and how he relates to or ignores others because of sensory overload. From there, she modifies his work environment and how she communicates with him. Working together has also taught Phoebe to love and respect Jonah for who he is.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe may have a disability, but he\u2019s still capable of doing things. Given the opportunity and the environment, he learns well,\u201d she states.<\/p>\n

Desleen Yeo and Wenny Tan, founders of YeoMama Batik<\/h3>\n
\"YeoMama

They say things happen for a reason, and that phrase is totally applicable to this local fashion label<\/a>. 33-year-old Desleen Yeo, the daughter in YeoMama Batik<\/a>\u2019s business duo, was recovering from ankle surgery when she received a phone call from her mother, Wenny Tan (aka the eponymous YeoMama), 62. Amidst their conversation, YeoMama asked if Desleen wanted to sell batik in Singapore (\u201cok lor\u201d was her response).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn’t have any fashion design background, nor did we understand the batik clothing business and fashion industry in Singapore. It was a purely random question, and I looked at it as something for me to kill time while being immobile at home,\u201d Desleen tells us. The \u201crandom idea\u201d eventually evolved into a modern batik shop<\/a> that subverts how the fabric should be used in clothing designs.<\/p>\n

Desleen admits it\u2019s ironic that she’s running a business with her mum because they didn\u2019t see eye-to-eye on many things when she was growing up. One memorable incident involved grey hangers, which YeoMama purchased for the shop when they started. \u201cI thought they were ugly, but she insisted I use them. When she travelled overseas, I sold all the hangers and got white wooden ones that I thought were nicer!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"YeoMama

Hanger drama aside, Desleen says they’ve gotten closer after they got the business off the ground. They\u2019re able to put themselves in each other’s shoes and understand the other\u2019s perspectives on why they do things a certain way. Arguments are inevitable, but they move past that and compromise. The two also get to see each other more often now, compared to when Desleen was working in other jobs.<\/p>\n

One important lesson YeoMama has taught Desleen is that work isn\u2019t everything. \u201cThe many times she asks me to take a break and make snacks are her ways of telling me to take a breather,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for my mum, she learnt that I truly thrive on creativity and realised I dare to do everything!\u201d<\/p>\n

Haris Ahmad and Wati Abdul Khamid, founders of Kulon<\/h3>\n

Food has the power to bring everyone together. This is how (and why) Haris Ahmad, 28, and his mother, Madam Wati Abdul Khamid, 58, decided to start Kulon<\/a>, a popular eatery in Bugis<\/a> specialising in Indonesian<\/a> cuisine. \u201cWe\u2018ve always wanted to share the dishes we grew up eating with the world,\u201d Haris explains. \u201cThough we don\u2019t necessarily make a carbon copy of what you find in Indonesia, everything is prepared the way we\u2019ve always preferred.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though neither has any F&B experience, the mother-son duo figured everything out as they built their business in Singapore. They took on various challenges head-on, from working long hours to experimenting to find the right recipes until dawn. According to Haris, everything was handled through \u201cpure determination and resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking together has strengthened our bond as mother and son, especially now that we have shared business goals to strive for,\u201d he adds. Both of them have learned to use their strengths to their advantage and delegate tasks to the person who has the right expertise in that area.<\/p>\n

Haris says there have been many memorable moments working with his mother, though getting invited by the Indonesian Embassy in Singapore to represent the country in major trade expos and events in Jakarta ranks top for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a major stepping stone for us to gain valuable networks and forge new friendships with other business owners,\u201d he highlights. \u201cWhat made it more special was that since my mom was originally from Indonesia, going back for a business trip instead of leisure was something new for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarah-Eden Chan and Winnie Chan, founders of 24 Saturn<\/h3>\n

Mothers can convince you to do anything in life \u2013 that includes starting your own business. Sarah-Eden Chan, 38, the founder of 24 Saturn<\/a>, says she had bad skin and tried everything from aesthetic treatments to clinical, luxury, and even natural skincare<\/a>. Nothing worked until she started researching organic and scientific ingredients that were beneficial for skin health. Under the guidance of a friend, Sarah created a range of serums which worked wonders for her skin.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when her mother, 67-year-old Winnie Chan, persuaded Sarah to start her skincare brand<\/a> and sell it online. During the first few years of their business venture, Mrs Chan learnt a lot about e-commerce and had many ideas about what they should do with 24 Saturn. \u201cThe possibilities were endless, and because she was an experienced entrepreneur in the healthcare industry, she was thinking along the lines of an online pharmacy or healthcare store,\u201d Sarah says.<\/p>\n

Despite having an experienced person working alongside her, Sarah says the mother-daughter business duo still encountered challenges, particularly around what they wanted to do with the brand. \u201cI saw it as a passion project as I realised I like innovating new skincare products, but my mum looked at it as a business and wanted to know how I would scale things.\u201d Mother and daughter eventually agreed that Sarah would take on the brand\u2019s direction while Winnie would be the mentor.<\/p>\n

Sarah reveals the two have cultivated an \u201cadditional relationship\u201d as they work together. \u201cWhen we talk about the brand, we talk like business partners. We’re tough on each other when it comes to work,\u201d she tells us.<\/p>\n

Working with someone who\u2019s a lot more experienced in the entrepreneurial world may be daunting for some. However, that doesn\u2019t faze Sarah; in fact, she shares they\u2019ve learned a lot more about each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe discovered that I am tenacious about the business. I stick to the core values of the brand and keep innovating great skincare,\u201d she notes. On the other hand, her mum taught Sarah the mindset of keeping a business relevant to survive. \u201cShe has been successful as an entrepreneur because she always makes sure she’s up to date on consumer sentiments and listens to her customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Esmond Toon and Mary Chan, founders of Bullock Cart Coffee<\/h3>\n

When two paths converge, it can result in a beautiful partnership. That happened with Bullock Cart Coffee<\/a>, the newest caffeine spot in Chinatown. After being let go from his job<\/a>, 27-year-old Esmond Toon decided it was the right time to pursue his passion. Meanwhile, his mother Mary Chan, 57, left the corporate world after almost 40 years to join him in his new venture.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe journey so far has been interesting. There are a lot of new and unexpected challenges, especially as newcomers in the F&B scene,\u201d he explains. Coming from different generations (\u201cmy mum is Gen X and I am a zillennial\u201d) is also a factor. \u201cAs she grew up with local coffee<\/a> (Nanyang kopi), she wasn\u2019t used to the taste profile of specialty coffee. To her, it tastes a little \u2018thin and lacks flavour\u2019. I had to teach her to tell if the brew is over- or under-extracted,\u201d the younger entrepreneur says.<\/p>\n

According to Esmond, Mary typically reaches the store early and dials in the coffee before his arrival. When they started, he had to execute the process again as the shots were too acidic or bitter. \u201cAfter letting her taste and understand the nuances of a shot, she soon learned what she should aim for. I\u2019m proud to say she\u2019s able to pull a good shot of espresso now!\u201d he beams with pride.<\/p>\n

The mother and son may see each other more nowadays thanks to their new business, but their dynamics haven\u2019t changed. If anything, their conversations now revolve around the shop; they also let each other handle aspects of the business individually that play up to their strengths. The egg mayonnaise croissant available at the shop? That\u2019s specifically prepared by Mary.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if I follow the recipe to the tee, it won\u2019t taste as good. Perhaps it\u2019s made with motherly love. So I make sure she prepares enough to last me the few days she\u2019s not in,\u201d he quips.<\/p>\n

Celine and Reeyern Ng, founders of Ree and Mummy<\/h3>\n
\"Ree

Can you recall what happened in 2020? While most people would\u2019ve already blocked that period from their minds, Celine Ng, 43, remembers it clearly. \u201cI had to stop working, as schoolkids were doing home-based learning. I decided to start an online business peddling handmade earrings before selling the venture,\u201d she says. Celine pivoted to homemade toffee \u2013 initially as Christmas gifts<\/a> for friends \u2013 which proved to be a hit, and that\u2019s how Ree and Mummy<\/a> got started.<\/p>\n

How did 14-year-old Reeyern Ng get roped into the business? Well, as Celine isn\u2019t social media savvy, she got her daughter to help manage the bake shop\u2019s online profiles and raise the brand\u2019s awareness. However, she admits this hasn\u2019t been easy.<\/p>\n

\u201cKids being kids, it\u2019s difficult to ask them to be consistent. So, instead of helping me give the bake, she helped me with social media posting and writing thank you cards. I didn\u2019t want to push her \u2018cos it should be light and easy,\u201d Celine explains.<\/p>\n

\"Ree

Celine also taps into Reeyern\u2019s Gen Z life experiences and translates those ideas into her creations. \u201cIt\u2019s always the ones that are trending on TikTok!\u201d she exasperatedly shares. \u201cI don\u2019t understand why the younger generations like those, but I\u2019ll still bake them for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the generational gap, Celine admits working with her daughter has changed her. She has gained insight into what Reeyern likes and better understands her world.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we go out, we\u2019ll take the opportunity to look at what other bakeries offer and how we can get ideas from there,\u201d Celine says.\u201cI hope to have more solo trips with my girl to explore good eats overseas.\u201d<\/p>\n
