hawker business ah.... u need to be prepared for..

1) long hours
2) lots of hard labour for cooking and cleaning
3) hardly any days off esp public holidays and weekends got the most customers
4) And unless you selling ONLY at night, you probably got to wake up early too.

If u r sick of working because of the long hours or your boss, then u better not start your own biz because it looks simple only but it's actually not easy at all. Especially for s,all business when u have little or no resources to employ staff, u may be the boss but u have to o everything by yourself - For food biz, it's 24/7 man! No rest. No entertainment. No life! And every each one of yr customer is yr boss! If u have experience, mebbe u can cope better but otherwise, u have to be prepared to just devote all yr time to your biz and nothing else for at least 3-4 years..........

Still nothing to stop u from betting a taste of having yr own business. If u think u have wad it takes, good luck........! Mr. Green

above all, make sure its not from ur hard earned money that ur starting. what IF it fails?

You could be worse off that where u probably are rite now, not that i'm being a wet blanket. Must be prepared for the worse Very Happy

I know this guy who used to work as an architect, got sick of working, so he quit and opened his own business, but failed, now he selling chicken rice. He say he wish he didn't quit in the first place just coz he felt sick of working. Sometimes better to just eat humble pie. Laughing

i wun tik of setting up a business unless i am filthy rich, too much money to spend.. if i really have a business, i think i will more likely to be the sleeping partner.. just invest and get my returns every yr end..

mistyblue SG

in sg, set up business is a dead end. NTUC will come and steal your idea and make it cheap and sell it low…
