and so my small snack and refreshment place is officially open today..since it was the first day,I expect less people yet the day is very fulfilling,we have a few people that came and tried our specialties.And the main good thing is all my family,my mom,sister,nephew & daughter all helped together.My daughter is our little waitress,taking orders & talking to the customers...like...wait a while my mom is preparing your order.
.my little nephew was the taster.mom,me & sis are the cooks,dishwasher & everything..zit was a tiring day but I can say very fulfilling.

If I were to have a day like yours, that would be a dream come true! Although we've been very grateful with everything that we have so far, deep down my spouse and I are still wanting to have our own food business someday. Does not have to be big, but something that we can enjoy running it together and yet successful enough to support our family or even to subsist for a very long time for the benefits of our children as well as the customers.

mine is actually a small one.I have been working also before but then I have to leave it because of my baby and since I am a single mom,it's very difficult to leave her at home while I go work especially hearing her cries while I leave and so I have thought of doing what I really wanted to plus I'd be able to spend more time with my little angel

I'm very happy for your business. Congratulations and good luck. I want to open a small business too but I am still not financially literate, I still want to know more about the financial and business world.

Best of luck in your entrepreneurial endeavors! I have long toyed with the idea of starting my own business with a friend and we've had a few ideas though most were geographically or financially unreasonable to pursue. Hopefully everything goes well for you

Go for it!...just make sure you are ready. I myself didn't have a very huge capital...I am using some of our home things,recycled things...the main thing I focused more is on my product....so just believe that one day you will also open your own business.Thanks a lot

Hello shenlynn7823, congratulations on opening your business. Your family is very sweet helping you out with your snack and refreshment place. Isn't it wonderful to have family who support you in your endeavor? I am sure that your business will do well because you have all the love and support from your family.
I wish I can have the courage and the persistence to start up my own business. I am also dreaming of putting up my own restaurant someday. Right now, I feel as if I still need to learn a lot of things when it comes to handling business.
Good luck to you and may you have a lot of customer everyday.

thank you..I'm grateful I have my family to start it with.Actually you can also do it as long as you're ready and positive. At first i'm actually hesitant but then I have thought,it's like everything is going my way so why not venture now instead of waiting ...so here I am...I can't say that it's very okay but it is okay and I know with persistent and determination,I would hopefully be successful.Thank you again

Well done! Opening a business is a lot of hard work, so I hope it pays off for you. You must be proud, not many people make it even this far to actually have a business which opens. I wish you all the best of luck and hope your business does well for you. :)

That's great! I wish you the best of luck. I have been toying with opening my own business for years but it is a scary prospect. Do you have a website and facebook page? Maybe that could help spread the word about your new business. . .I hope you are successful!
