“I don’t share to prove I’m successful. I share because I know what it feels like to start over.”

Who I am

A Vietnamese woman who started over in Canada — and built something real.

I’m Jasmine Tran — known to the Vietnamese community as Hiền Canada — a small business owner living in Vancouver and the owner of DH Garden Centre. After more than fifteen years in logistics and management in Vietnam, I started my career again from the beginning when my family moved to Canada.

I share practical lessons on small business, marketing, AI, personal growth and family life as a Vietnamese person in Canada. My strength isn’t a perfect image — it’s the truth: real business, real products, real customers, real costs, real mistakes and real lessons.

  • Speak the truth
  • Do the real work
  • Keep learning
  • Family is the root
  • Freedom with responsibility

My story

I didn’t start from zero. I started from a real life.

  1. Before 2020

    A stable career in Vietnam

    More than 15 years in logistics, international trade and operations — including about 10 years in a management role at a Japanese logistics company. A good job, a comfortable life.

  2. July 2020

    The hard choice

    I left a stable, comfortable life in Vietnam to reunite my family in Canada. Not an escape — a harder choice, made for family and for a bigger responsibility.

  3. Starting over

    A new life in Vancouver

    Settling into a new country with a family and young children — learning the local market, the language, the customers and a whole new way of doing business.

  4. DH Garden Centre

    Building a real business

    Together with my husband Darrell, I built DH Garden Centre — combining his gardening expertise with my background in operations, logistics and trade. Plants, pottery, retail, online sales and real customers.

  5. Now

    Building in the open

    I’m sharing the real journey — the wins and the mistakes — to help other Vietnamese people in Canada feel less lost, less alone, and make calmer, clearer decisions.

What I can go deep on

Five things I’ve actually lived through.

Small business in Canada

Rent, local customers, seasons, cash flow, staff, inventory — the real pressure behind a small store.

Practical marketing

Facebook, Google Business, websites, landing pages, leads, short video and email — and how to actually measure results.

AI for small business owners

Using ChatGPT, Claude, NotebookLM, Obsidian and Lark to reduce chaos, build SOPs and plan — without empty automation.

Vietnamese women starting over

Starting again, raising children, holding the family together, and finding confidence without losing yourself.

Gardening & green lifestyle

Plants, pots, handmade Vietnamese pottery, landscaping and the green lifestyle we build at DH Garden Centre.

Why you can trust what I teach

Real operations — backed by serious training

I only teach what I’ve both studied properly and done in real life. My expertise comes from two places at once: running a real business every day, and learning continuously from strong programs.

Learned by doing

  • DH Garden Centre — running a real retail, online and landscaping business in Vancouver.
  • Amazon Canada & Etsy — selling real products to real customers online.
  • Website, fanpage, Google Business and local Vancouver campaigns — built and run by me.
  • Import–export, supply chain and operations bridging Vietnam and Canada.

Formal training & certification

  • Phạm Thành Long — business, personal-development, leadership and marketing programs, including Eagle Camp and IPS.
  • ClickFunnels Certification — funnels, landing pages, lead generation and online selling.
  • Ongoing self-study in AI & systems — AI Agents, Claude Code, ChatGPT, NotebookLM, Obsidian, Lark, Second Brain, SOP and KPI.

How I work

My method: Real · Clear · Doable

01

Real

I speak only from what I’ve lived through. No polishing, no unrealistic promises.

02

Clear

I break a problem into parts: goal, customer, product, channel, content, people, KPIs and cash flow.

03

Doable

I favour small actions you can take right now over beautiful theory that stays far from real life.

Who I serve

If any of this sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

I serve Vietnamese small business owners in Canada first — especially women who want to start a business but feel stuck between family, money, the local market, marketing, AI, staff and the fear of starting late.

In the community

Published in the Sudbury Vietnamese community’s Tết newspaper

I was honoured to be invited by the Vietnamese Association of Sudbury, Ontario to write for their Lunar New Year newspaper — “Xuân Bính Ngọ”, Issue No. 5, published on January 18, 2026 — sharing the real story of starting over and building a small business in Canada.
