Need serious Suggestion ONLY

Good to see that you reply. Well although I am darn tired and darn high from drinking , I seems to have this mood of replying you. For one thing I am pretty sure your 2cents is definitely difficult to earn. 
As you have stated not all successful people have a good education. This I have to agree " BUT " it will have to depend on your " DEFINITION " of successful???? a multibillionaire, CEO of a listed company, sugarcane stall owner, high ranking officer in SAF, Doctor, or as long as you have the so call 5C????? So can I know your version of begin successful????
As I have stated earlier that people are easily fascinated by the success of others. Think about it if everyone is a LEE JIA CHEN how nice it would be as there would not be poor people in this world. I also look upon my idol Warren Buffet as a role model and read alot of times about how he attained his success but I know that I am NOT him. I will not be able to do what he have cos. the situation have change since then. Different times require different strategies. Do you think you are the only one that by working hard you will be the LEE JIA CHEN of Singapore???????
As for advertisement.......of cos I not saying it is most important if you read carefully, I have stated that it is a only a part of the whole parcel for a business to be successful. It really include a lot more.........QUALITY, SERVICE, PACKAGING, ADVERTISEMENTS, LOCATION, MARKETING STRATEGIES and so on. If ROBBINSON have been selling fake branded stuff for the real one, like the Hotel that I mentioned. You think consumer will continue to patronize the store again. Of course not , those that willing to spend big money for quality stuff would have shift to other shopping complex and their reputation would be affected badly.
Let say Singaporean are lazy like what you stated which I dun think so............Remember MOST people WILL NOT buy an item unnecessary unless they have a need or the urge to buy at the point of time. Like you have stated it yourself " something doing (deliver) to your house to give you " WHAT " you need ' WHEN " you need it "
Do you think everyone will suddenly have the need to buy cookie just when you happen to promote them at their doorstep?????? I don't really think so loh.
And let say about delivery. if I suddenly have this urge to taste your cookie and I want to order 3 box or package ($4.50). Are you willing to sent it to Me for a $4.50 sale when I stay in Woodland when you are at Simei at that point of time ? If there is no one else in that region ordering from you at that time I dun think you would not even bother to send it to me. And in that case you lose me as a potential long term customer. I would buy from nearby cake shop or 7-11 and in any case would have more variety than what you can offer.
Take a look at the delivery service for KFC/PIZZA HUT they are willing to send it to you when you have this urge to eat their product. But they will need to make a profits too so their price is always higher then at the restaurant. Can you afford to have a network set up like them? And are people willing to spend more than $15 for cookie???
As for your friends that you have stated that worked in a big store..........do you think he know the actual price of the product after all the cost have been included? It is not just a simple RAW price calculation only. You have to add in the RENTALS of the store, SALARY of the employee, MONEYS spend for the Advertisement and Bills incurred during the Sale. Those are cost that need to be factor in too, you cannot simply get the raw price and look at the profits this way.
And I can tell you that those clothing if you buy in Bulk is actually darn cheap. The actual profits is 3 to 4 times or even much more from the cost price. How do you think if a profits of 20% product during normal days can go for at a discount of 50% or more during sale.............don't make sense rite?????????You should go shopping more often. Or ask more information from the gals.
If not try going to China Shenzhen and buy clothes by the bulk. The cost price of clothing may be only $1 to $2 a piece in bulk and be sold at $12 to $18 in store locally. Just imagine how are big store in orchard going to survive from the most a 20% profits from an item that cost $50 which profits is $10 only????Or not to even mention from " This Fashion" which most clothes are selling for $10 to $30 which the profits would be $3 for a $15 dollars items.
" People become bankrupt because they put more load into their that they can take "...........for e.g.. Few years back people are putting all their money in Internet startup , thinking it is the start of a new technology with great potentials. Not too long ago bubble tea craze , everyone was into the franchisee of bubble tea. In certain neighborhood there can be as many as 8 to 9 stall of selling bubble tea. Now ?????? most have close for business. What I trying to imply here is that to be involved in certain business there is a certain amount of money that is needed. To start a internet company is definitely not cheap. To franchise bubble tea is not cheap too, as certain amount of money is needed and not to say alot of effort too. But who predict that the internet bubble burst?????and who will predict the fierce competition for bubble tea. All the people before investing their money into their respective business all have good guts feeling that it is going to work out for them. But nevertheless time will tell whether you are a winner or a loser. Some people may have their fortune shrink and some even worse involve in huge dept that was cause during their business venture. Who know you meet someone with the same thinking like you promoting cookie at the same bloke? Then what will happen? Price war?
Of course everyone want to do everything as planned , safe and steady but sometime thing just dun work out as you have plan lor. When you are in the business world, there will be situation that will force you to take certain uncalculated risk in order to be able to proceed to the next stage. And that is what I know as " No Risk No Gain" cos. I cannot predicts what will happen when I take this plunge or investment.
Not all the people are like what you have stated " then they will invest heavily into the business without thinking the future " who wouldn't like to be well planned, sometime it is simply because that they have no choice. It either that you are in or out of the race. If everything in this world can calculated and planned ahead carefully then there is definitely no risk and sure gain only.
As for the Fruits stalls, do you think they are still able to make profits on the discounted fruits? No way, like I have stated only " certain items " are placed on discount and what they hope for is at the end of the day. Those that are not on offer can offset the losses incurred by those discounted fruits. It is a marketing strategies to advertise their store. If they are making profits and at the same time able to advertise themselves to the whole of Singapore why aren't they carry on doing so? In anycase it is a win win situation. Making themselves famous and making profits at the same time. The reason " They are incurring losses at the expense of advertising their store name ". Read carefully what I stated before.
" And last but not least....do you think people really going for the undiscounted fruit? get some oppion from those who buy it " This sentence of yours I really dun understand at all? I understand people go for discounted fruits cos. I seen it on news report on TV. But people going for " undiscounted " fruits ???? if there is no discounted and those that on discounted are of very bad quality, of cos. loh. If not then what else to do?
And pls. do some simple calculation. Check with yourself how many household from a blk that need to buy from you before you can make a sustainable profits to cover your daily expenses???? And how many blk can you cover in a day. And at the end of mths is the profits worth all your hard work or not at all? Or you can earn the same amount or even more while working less hours as a employee outside?
There is this saying " ALL ROAD LEAD TO ROME ". There are many way to be successful and whether you want to take the big, comfortable and smooth highway OR the rough, difficult to access mountain road? WORK HARD but WORK SMART too and who know with abit of luck everything will work out eventually.
JUST WISH YOU ALL THE BEST LOH.

In life, not many ppl got the spirit as in you, not many dare to even take the first step, not many ppl dare to also WILLING to make a change but you have the guts !!! That's what really matter.
In life, ppl get very comfortable into something and when they are in it, they entered the comfort zone, they are normally not willing to change.
Do u know there's a guy at the age of 75 goes around asking ppl that he got a secret resipi and proposing to ppl that if ppl like his resipi they can use it to sell to others but every piece of food they sold, just need to pay him 10 cent, as he goes around, do u know how many "NO" he receive before the first "yes" ? 1007 No's !!!!
Today Colonel Sanders of KFC sold his franchise to Pepsi at USD88billion. It's not whther it's possible or not, is how badly do u want it, and how willing are you to make a change !!
Xiao Ming keep it up !!
I am more than willing to share your success story and to help in whatever ways I can. You must be asking in this world where got such person one, or where got such advantage one ? Well I am just that type of person
Just a tip:
Success: Some people dream of success, while others wake up and work hard at it, stop talking, start working !! -
thanks...i never check it how KFC succeed...thanks for your information.....now i added a new knowledge into my brain....
No problem...if one day my cookie or maybe other small business succeed...i will come and find you and help me out....
Nice to see your reply....my msn is [email protected]
Feel free to add me into your friend list so that i can see you online...
see ya -

hope to see your reply... Too bad then just write again loh. But take this as an example. If you work really hard for this business(like you wrote the letter) and some cock up happen and you lost everything(like this mail you wrote). I sincerely hope you will not be demoralize so easily like this.
Success dun came so easily and there is always 2 side in life. And if you are not able to face failure then please dun just think about success only. I am afraid you will not be able to stand up after you experience one big failure(bankrupt).
Making a name????then isn't it Advertisement like I say liao???? Well as a businessman myself. All the effort that you put in a job come down to only one thing "PROFIT" unless you are a social worker lah. Job satisfaction is only part of the parcel and unless it is pack with a good reward for your effort would you think people will work hard for any project/work?
As for the fruits stall that I stated about, is the one that was report in the news report not long ago. 1 big box of (50)oranges for $1. Not the kind that can be found everywhere. That what make them so special. So Cheap until the News report about them. That what I call Advertisement.
And you do you sincerely believe Jacky Wu is losing 1.2 billion in his Varity show biz?????? So why is he still in the Varity biz and not concentrating on his PROFITABLE food biz alone??????????So why would he still be in a losing biz venture when he can make profits in his other biz??????Can you pls. enlighten mi.??? Please dun tell mi. that it is his hobby hor.......cos I dun believe he would like to spend 1.2 billion for a hobby.
Try asking a accountant/auditor when it time to close account for a company. They will normally try to size down the profits by way of depreciation of equipment, high cost expenditure to AVOID high Tax. The real losses or profits is always much different from what have been report loh.
Another reason this is the kind of risk. He may be like you that believe serious that his Varity (in your term "cookie") biz will work out and he invest and wait and wait......until time show him the true and cruel fact. Most of the time people tends to have a good imagination of how fantastic their biz will be but what I would advise is try to do a more practical planing. Be more realistic.
For your case....alot of people here have given you negative inputs but not because that they want to. But this is how they feel or that they have relevant experience before and try to give you their point of views. And because you have a really good feeling about your venture you tends to think otherwise from others. Try to think from others people point of view. " What if my venture dun work out? ", " What other alternative I have left? " , "How Long my saving can last me? " Is it too late to get my Degree? " What if I dun make enough from the cookie biz ", " What if it dun work out for me ".
And what there to be angry about when you mail get deleted , just be calm and write again loh. I have actually wrote more but did not post because thinking I am too LOU SO liao. It is mainly about examples and experience that I have and some from my friends who have biz of their own. Well, try to attend more Talks/seminars host by EDB and those by some house for stock. You will be able to meet alot of people from all works of life. Young, old, experience, bizman, retiree and so many more. You will be amazed that there is so many people that wanted to be successful and some though old are still trying hard and always on the lookout for any biz venture that may be attractive to them. Talk to them learn from them and absorb the experiences that they can offer you.
Recommendation??????about what????about biz?????if I have any good idea.........I would be really relaxing at home liao and not slogging for a living liao.
Mike Kezowski ,
Pure guts and senseless changing without any good planning often results in bad result.
<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Some time people are already struggling with enough to get by life. And not that people does not dare to take the changes, sometime it is the kind of commitment(family, parents) that they have to face. And not to say the kind of liability(installment for HDB, Cars, education fee for your children) that require you to be responsible to. Unless people have already prepare well for those liability that they have. And they have extra funds if not why would they not venture out???????
JUST HOPE YOU AND HIM WILL REALLY WORK OUT AND BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE.

(PS. I not going to reply to this anymore cos. I came to this forums to crap and relax myself. But I suggest to yourself go and visit http://www.sedb.com/edbcorp/index.jsp. Read up on articles there(and many others more) and join other forums that have more people of commons interested in business. Talk to them , exchange views but what I can advise to you is to STUDY HARD cos. it is a easier way to be successful) -
ALthough i am not sure whether do i have to reply you...but since i am quite free now...i just hit back some of the factless fact from you....Try getting more facts before you wrote something...dun just claim it somewhere or anyhow...Para by para i debate back
FIrstly i am demorlise not becos i scare to fail....just like when you play any game or do anything....when you suffer a setback normally you will sad awhile...but will get right up after that...so i do not scare any failure...i have not much $$$ bankrupcy is FINE with me

Jacky Wu is losing $$$ on his showbiz <--- it is net losses from showbiz...anyway if 1.2 billion can be hidden then most people can advoid taxes......it is shown in newspaper and news....if you do not have any SCV on international news..i do not blame you....He carry on his showbiz cos to advertise his name on his business in his food..like the shi zhi lo gou
SHow the nice food....If you do not believe....can go check from internet...dun just speak with no BACKUP
I think you should have know that jacky chen has to pay million of us dollars for his movie in USA...why not he just reduce it to 100k is enough...not everything can be reduce....and harder if you are famous cos reporter are all around....if you cna find edvince then say it out...dun just use logical to talk here....it is meaningless cos Talk is still = Talk....not everytime people does...
Hmm...those people who give me negative feedback here....ASK them whether they have TRY before anot...they just knew how to talk and never go though thier minds.....Please lah....go ask them yourself...
I will attend those...the whole passage from you...only this sound prefect...the rest all are factless fact from you..with nothing to backup....
I like the way you write bcos it is easily countered....Please write in with some facts...i do not know how old are you or how experienced are you...but seem to me...you are not very good...just know how to talk...no wonder you have to stay at home and ROT....
IF you use your brain i believe you can make it...if fail treat it as a small experience...remember go within your bidget do not overstrect your pocket...
GOod lUck...
