Small Business

Posted on July 8, 2012 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

I have heard this a lot of times from different people and yes, in fact, I have even heard myself tell me that : “When I have enough capital, I will put up a small business.”

Small business can mean being on the lookout for hot dog cart for sale or the recent trend, dimsum cart for a cafeteria concessionaire, maybe home-based business that involves cooking and baking. The list is long, depending on one’s capacity to produce products and give services that others may need to avail of.

Having your own small business is no easy feat, especially if you are not patient to reap the rewards and establish being the go-to for the specialization being offered. But you won’t know if you won’t try, right?

Looking for Balloons and Other Party Needs

Posted on January 11, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

I have been thinking about starting a balloons business with my mom since she has already clients in the province who orders balloons, birthday cakes, invitations and party needs from her.

Of course I wouldn’t want to tire myself while I traverse the roads going to Divisoria yet, where everything is being sold in retail prices, so I got to turn to online Classified Ads to see what it has on these party needs that I may write on my list when I have the resources and time in place.

And because I am excited, I decided to dream on when I saw this:

inflatables

I must say this is quite a wonderful way to advertise a balloons/party needs biz 😀

‘Tis the Season

Posted on November 3, 2008 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Oh yes, ’tis the season to shop till you drop. With just a few weeks before Christmas, everyone is rushing to do some shopping to make it in time for the holidays just waiting around the corner.

‘Tis the season too to try to earn something extra. Businesses are alive now more than ever as excitement among shoppers and consumers build its momentum as the day gets nearer.

If one loves to shop, there are those who would rather be on the other end, doing business.

There are many different business opportunities that abound during the season where generosity becomes a second name: wholesale fashion jewelry, clothes, toys, food, and gadgets.

Food for one is a good idea. Why? Well, it is sometimes better to give food, as long as these are delicious, than give knick-knacks that will gather dust after a few weeks.

Speaking of knick-knacks, these are exactly what the young people would rather receive. Bags, accessories, tech gadgets, and things that will keep little hands busy, the young people love those. So for the business-minded, what better way to earn more but by engaging in a business while everyone is on a shopping mode.
