As you already know from my previous post, that I own a small shop. Now I will tell you a guide to start a small shop.

1. Think small, small is okay. Many people thinking about being an instant millionare when they start a business. This is not wrong. It is just in reality, not many people become a millionare in a very short time.

2. Find the spot. The most important thing is the rent. Rent can be problem at first start, so get a cheap, or possibly free rent space. You can use your house, your family house, cart, moving van, whatever suit the business.

3. Fill the stock. Now stock is also important, you can’t make a sell, if you have nothing to sell. You don’t have to fill it with loads of stock but you can pile up, one small pile at a time.

4. Listen to customer. Listen to what they need, the ideal price, what to provide, decoration, just listen to what they say. Not all what buyer say is right but mostly it does.

5. Build a slow reputation. Eventually people will heard about your store and you don’t want them to hear bad things do you. You can’t be perfect but you can try to make it look nice.

6. Spend on stock. How to make your stock grow? By using initial profit to add up stock. I start less than 100 USD now I manage to pile up to almost 1000 USD (in Indonesia it is not bad). You wouldn’t believe the power of compounding interest.

Well do you want to try?

Many people complain and saying that they can’t sleep well at night. Well, I don’t have sleeping problems, so, maybe I can share what is in my opinion can help people to sleep well at night.

1. Eat Healthy. Your diet is a vital key to your sleeping need. If you eat the wrong food you can feel uncomfort in your stomach, hurt in your teeth, and so on.

2. Have no homework. If you have them finish it early. Homework is really disturbing. You have work at work now work at home? That sucks.

3. Have no debt. If you must have it then keep it minimum. It is just your emotion controlling you. Hey, I must be a bigshot at the office, I must the best person, my cellphone have to be the most expensive, I must have five laptops, those are the kind of thing that make you feel worries.

4. Relax. Yes, relax, why so serious? You only live once, so make the best out of it, enjoy every second of it.

5. Do it slow. What’s the rush? Are you like the president of the United State?
