in college, i was taught that there are not enough entrepreneurs in our country. i don't know the reason behind that, but ever since, i wanted to put up my own business instead of being in employment for the rest of my life. my plan after college was to save enough for initial capital. i'm still at it up to now . but my dream business has not changed since then. i wanted to have a small store first, the grocery type. and then if it prospers, a computer rental shop. and after that, i like to have my own five-door apartment which i will rent out. sounds like much right now but i like dreaming big. if you aren't into a business right now, what would you like to have? or if you do have one, do you like being in it?

If given a chance, I would like to have a business involving food, as it is man's basic need. If only I have enough money, I will really pursue it. As of the moment, what I can afford maybe is a computer shop. According to some articles that I have read, you should find a business that you will enjoy and it is your interest or hobby. I have been really looking forward to have my own business soon. You're right, it may not start that big but as long as you enjoy it and you have a lot of profit, it is fine.

yep. that's my belief in starting a business. i might even agree to losses at the start, as long as i enjoy doing it. but eventually, as the business runs, i hope to earn enough to help my other relatives.

the reason behind it is because there is no enough opportunity for one's business to grow, it is killed right away with bigger business, like the buildings of big malls in small provinces, it kills the business of small entrepreneurs there. A small sari sari store is a good type of business, it will not make you reach but you will be able to provide your daily needs from it. My dream business is apartments, it is I think the best investment, as they say land value never goes down, it is like a jewelry that it only goes higher as time goes by, and as you know, people will always have the need to rent a house. Another one is a restaurant, because food is a great business too, if there are food left, you can just eat it, nothing is put to waste, another one is buy and sell. Now I am thinking of putting up a small second hand clothes store inf front of the house (but hubby is not the entrepreneur type, so I know he will not approve it) And hubby, though he is not into it, he wants to have a computer rental business, it is his dream for so long now. and I am considering of it too. maybe we will move to my province (in NUeva Ecija) amd start one there, hubby is exceptional (syet!) on computers
