Dull Sales

Everything starts at zero when you decide to have your own business. Of course, when it comes to a newly opened business, people don't know about it. What type of business you are opening or what kind of service you are serving? Includes the location of it where it is located. There are so many disadvantages to opening a new business. However, it's not how dull the sales are, it's about working hard for it.

It's almost a month since I decided to focus on selling street foods. Recently, I bought a franchise of its name for a mere name only. No products or items were included when I bought them. I spent thousands of pesos just to build this small cart. I knew the risk of spending money on building it but I was confident that somehow it would work out.

Skipping the money I spent in building this cart and the money I bought to start selling. There were times that I rarely sold well enough to do a living each day. Sometimes there's a good sale but most of the time there's not. Most especially when the rain continued pouring for almost a week. It's understandable that people are tired of going out because it rains. There's that reason as well that the people in our small village don't have enough money. For now, my only customers are the people here. Not like when the people in the town know that there's a certain cart selling the food they love.

I was disappointed of course with low sales or income with my small cart. Although, it doesn't mean that I'm thinking of giving up and shifting to other plans to earn money for a living. Just like the weather, it's not always sunny. There are times that it's rainy and of course, it's gloomy. Also, it's not always that we are happy. There are sad days to remind us not to be comfortable always.

That's why even though I sold only one order yesterday. It will not make me stop selling the next day. Just like what they said, yesterday is different from today. It's quite a gamble but who cares, life is a gamble after all. As long as you never quit believing that there will be a future for you, there will always be. Just accept the fact that challenges in life are sometimes immeasurable. If you give up because of one defeat, you will never taste the sweetness of victory.

Awts kinda sad talaga if close to none ang benta, nakaka panghina ng loob. Laban lang bukas malay mo tumila na ang ulan Pau.

I bought a franchise of its name for a mere name only. No products or items were included when I bought them.

Nyek! How about the products Pau sa kanila ka din nakuha ng binebenta mo? Sana naman discounted diba.

@mrnightmare89,

Of course... that's a lot easier to type than to live... right? But as long as I have known you. You have been one to keep going. Remember all of my sayings; this one in particular...


#tomorrowisthegoal


That's a nice-looking food cart. But I think you need some 4x4 tires and a lift kit aye? What I really liked, was that you took two photos to give the perspective of your cart, and then the world around you. Also... from your post:


For now, my only customers are the people here. Not like when the people in the town know that there's a certain cart selling the food they love.


I am curious... are those in your town aware of this blockchain? I was just curious. I grew up in a small town. Where everyone knew everything about you before it even happened lol. I was just curious... trying to think of a way to help elevate the awesome of your services. Regardless... you know I wish you luck, and send you love and positive energy, brother...

Wes...

4x4 tire? I think it would cost more. I think not all people learn about hive blockchain but even if they'll know they seem not interested because I've been telling them about it for a long time ago.

Thank you wes as always, there's no room for giving up of course.

@mrnightmare89,


I was teasing about the 4x4 tires. It just looks like that might be kind of hard to push around town. As far as people not being interested in the blockchain. Many people aren't interested in things they don't know about. But I am sure that's the last of your worries. Curious about what products you serve out of your food cart? And no... never give up! I know you better than that anyway... look how far you've come!

I know you are serious... Honestly though... maybe drop a menu list? Share with your readers what you are serving in your food cart. Get some talk (typing) about what awesome stuff you are doing. Couldn't hurt... right?

siomai

https://www.spot.ph/eatdrink/cheap-eats-eatdrink/46490/top-10-siomai-in-manila?ref=share_top&utm_source=Share-Link&utm_medium=Social


You must have patience and nibble fingers to be making this! Can't believe people aren't falling over each other for this!!

Oh, you really searched what is "siomai." Actually, I wasn't making a single one of it because it's very hard. I bought it from a food hub which is made already. All I'd do is to cook it, through steam and fried.

For now it's not recognize because it's kind of something new in our town food but maybe in the long run it will.

@mrnightmare89,


Well.. traditions don't start overnight... right? And you know your town better than anyone. So maybe combining what you know, with the possibility of this new food... sky is the limit! Actually... speaking of "new". We have a couple that joined The Terminal recently. Their names are @bluenix and @nidabyzt. They have recently created a Food Community called FoodMood. Again... they have just started it. But I thought you might like to see more about it... they are two good souls... just like you! Here's the link below:

Thank you so much for your kind words Wes, you have always tried and continue to try to help people. And we appreciate that. I've started a new job and I've been very busy and I don't have time for the computer and my wife is traveling so we're not very active on discord these days. I hope to see you soon, best regards.
