Business Minded

Eversince my childhood days I am already a business minded. I would enjoy selling different kind of stuffs to my classmates. From bracelets, yema, pastillas, scoongie (ponytail ribbons), to bra and panties. I usually made them myself (except for the bra and panties). I remember when I was in grade 2, my classmates would flock into my place asking for pastillas. They really love my pastillas and they are fascinated because I know how to make one. One of my rich classmates would even buy all my pastillas to share with her family. Everyday she would buy worth P100.00 of pastillas which is really a lot during that time. Even Aling Susan, our neighbor who sell snacks in our neighborhood would envy me because of the success of my mini business. She would tell me that she cannot earn that in one day. I also tried selling my old things especially my clothes and bags to my playmates and neighbors. We called it "garage sale" or ukay ukay. It was such a big hit because the pri...

We were successful in one of our business ventures last Valentine's Day: Delivering roses and tulips during this special occassion. Read: Only tulips and roses. We chose to make it less complicated so as to avoid those blunders that we previously committed. I can say that our hardwork really paid off. From the time we organized the list of orders up to the time we deliver it to the recipient, we make it a point that everything flowed smoothly and stress free.. Just to make it easier for us to organize, we narrow down with just 2 types of arrangement: a. ROUND b. FLAT It was such a hit because the price is just cheap considering that the delivery is already free anywhere in metro manila. Two (2) days before the big day, we already turned down a lot of clients because we were not able to order enough roses from our suppliers. We just estimated that we needed this much quantity. We already set a cut-off date for pre-ordered flowers. On the next Valentine's day, we will ensure that...

There are thousands of food cart business that you can find everywhere here in Metro Manila. Just take the MRT ride or any bus / jeep terminals and you will see a lot of food cart business mushroomed in different parts of Manila. Aren't they a little crowded? actually yes..I once dreamed of owning one. I tried to research everything I could from franchising sisig, mami noodles, siomai, siopao, hotdog stand and even Mister Donut (Oh I tell you this is pretty much expensive!). But I think this is not my line of expertise and as they say this is not my niche. With my busy schedule, I don't think I can monitor my food cart business. I tried applying a space for my foodcart business in MRT station and they gave me the contact details of a certain Zenon Sorara. He works in MRT and is the one in-charge of food cart in every MRT station. Upon talking to him, he said that there are thousands of entrepreneur who are still on queue waiting to be awarded a space in MRT. It's like he is...

A lot of my friends want to put up a landry business but they do not know where to start. Read on to find out what are the things that you will be needing in setting up this business: 1. A GOOD and FEASIBLE LOCATION.. All the business is actually investing on LOCATION . You have to strategize on where you would place your business. You can rent a small space which will serve as a pick-up point of clothes. Or you may opt to place your laundry shop near restaurants, motels, hotels, school, dormitories, apartments, condo units. You also have to target those new villages, subdivision, apartments, or condo units because you have no competition here. It's better if you are the only laundry shop in this area. 2. PREPARE BUSINESS LICENSES.. Prepare your business licenses and work permit. You will be needing the following documents: DTI registration (if you are a sole proprietorship), mayor's permit, BIR and Insurance (optional). You may ask what are the requirements for openi...
