practical tips when starting a business

Salamat kaayu. You should write a book

nah... i really dont think that the art of business can be written on any book.. there is no guaranteed formula.. all you can do is reduce the risks... besides.. im not very good in writing..

id also like to call on other businessmen (wala labot networkers) to contribute their knowledge here.. (and please lang, wala advertising ha, covert or overt, save it for other threads)

hello.. something came to my mind.. i just recalled this very important thing..

what to sell and what business to start..

most of us who wants to start a business would ask.. what will i sell?

this is WRONG!!!

instead you should ask.. what the WILL people buy?

never forget, the customer is always right.. the customer pays for the goods and services.. not you.. so the customer always expect value for money.. the two of you may not share the same ideas but always remember its the customer who makes the purchase

you can start any business, you can sell any product you like, but its not a guarantee that people will buy it.. so it would be a lot smarter if you already know what the people want or need

what i learned in brokerage is that first you need to find a buyer, then find the seller.. sellers are a dime a dozen..

na inspire ko mo write something about BIR thingy.. im not quite sure if appropriate ni cya dire nga thread, but my case is how it affects businesses so i guess ok ra..

sa pikas thread i said nga dili ko gusto initan sa BIR.. take this to heart.. maski pa unsa ka loyal nimo mo bayad sa taxes nimo, naa jud mga badlungon nga BIR agents nga gusto mo paksit..

example.. ako auntie dha in cebu, owned a school supply business.. naa cya xerox machine.. loyal siya mobayad sa iya taxes.. but naa BIR agent niadto nangita sa iya sales report sa iya xerox machine.. nangita mga resibo.. so naturally kulang jud, kay ang resiboan kay kadto ra man volume.. kinsa man intawn mo resibo piso2x oi.. guess what, ni threathen ang BIR agent mo file og case against sa ako aunt. pero iya ra daw trabahoon for 10k.. so luoy kaau ako auntie kay napugos jud pay, atleast na hangyo to 7k.. pwede man mo sukol ako aunt pero mahal baya ang korte, lawyers fee pa lang daan...

sa kadto nagsulti nga live a simple life.. its a good advice.. dha na pa bonga kung rich na jud ka.. kay kanang taga BIR, mahadlok na sila if your already "somebody"... they bully the small businessmen.. im not saying their all corrupt, but you just dont know kinsa sa ila ang corrupt.. so mas maau maglikay nlang..
