I find it quite amazing that, there are so many opportunities around, that young people are so limited in their creative thoughts, and blinded by their own illusions of business opportunities, without doing proper research.
For example down on the Seiyu floor, where all the pushcarts are. I bumped into two girls selling badges! I was quite amazed, the numbers flashing through my mind of how many they must sell just to pay the rent!
I'm certainly the rent was around 6000$ a month she said! I was wondering if these young ladies actually did their calculations of how many badges, they would have to sell, to pay the rent, never mind make any profit.
Are badges really a fast moving product? And look at the area, the Japanese Ice Cream Tea is renting, is it really viable!
I would like to point out, that may be the Japnese Tea is a franchise, and that a feasibility study would have been highly likely, under the rules of the franchise.
A business plan would have been drawn up, showing the likely time frame, for the Ice cream business to breakeven, after all, it would have to build on a loyal customer base.
My point is, that before anyone jumps in, to do a business, I must stress the crucial facts of the business plan, it must be realistic, so please get someone with a business background to take a look at the plan, a second opinion or even a 3rd opinion, is required to reduce your risks of failure.
What we have financially, is normally through blood, sweat and tears! If it isn't, think double carefully!
Becuase the money may have to be repaid! Causing the blood, sweat and tears, either way, you get a sharp learned lesson, to think twice about the illussions of fashion. Just my thoughts for today!
