Things to think about before buying ukay bales:
• Have you tested your market already?
• Have you finished setting up your public page?
• How will you advertise your products?
• How do you plan to clear unsold products?
• What sets you apart in this saturated market?
• How will you engage your potential buyers?
• How much are you willing to invest in marketing?
Hindi po madali ang mag negosyo. A business is not just about the products that you sell. You also have to build an audience, have the right mindset, be persistent, and be creative. Madami po inaaral sa negosyo if you really want to last.
Hindi po natatapos sa laba at plantsa ang sipag at tyaga sa ukay. Kasama dyan ang marketing lalo na kung newbie ka at nagpapakilala ka palang sa market. Put your self on the perspective of your customers. If you are a buyer, what will make you purchase from a shop na first time mo lang makita? Believe me, based on experience na rin… a business is not just about the product.
Harsh truth: Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. Hindi porke nakikita natin sa iba na parang ang dali, na parang kayang kaya nila… go na rin tayo. what you don’t see behind the scenes is how much they struggled and persisted in the past to get to where they are now.
Some might say na “only invest what you are willing to lose” though it makes sense, pero syempre who would like to lose when it comes to investing diba?
Kaya for me instead of that mentality, best investment tip parin talaga sa kahit anong negosyo is “do not put your money in something that you do not fully understand”. If you want to try something new, test your market first. Invest according to the level of your understanding and experience, para maiwasan na rin natin ang unnecessary stress just because we did not think things through. If you think you are still weak, it’s okay I’ve been there and you can start small, eventually by God’s grace mag iimprove ka rin at lalaki din ang nasimulan mo. 💖
