We are still in the first month of the new year and a lot of persons are looking for business ideas to setup. Having fresh ideas for a business is awesome but it is not a must all ideas must be new or fresh. You could find an existing idea or business type and simply improve on it to better suit you and you are good to go.

Most business owners today and young entrepreneurs are mostly after making profits but do not try to understand their customers. Understanding your customers is extremely important as a business owner, it helps you render better services to them and as well improve your image therefore attracting more customers.

As a business owner or young entrepreneur it is extremely important you take time out to research and study your competition from time to time. Find out what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong then look for a way to improve yourself in these aspects. This will help you stay ahead of the competition in. Your field.

How long do you plan on holding ?

We have a saying here "May pera sa basura" (there is money in garbage). I believe that this is true to some. For others, it is impossible to do it.

Where can we get trash and turn it into cash? We start at home, we can recycle plastic bottles, bottles and other stuff that can ne recycled. Sell it to the junkshop nearest you.

Others can find cash from garbage trash bins or dumpsters. I have been watching a Filipina Vloggers who is currently in the US. She is filming her dumpster diving adventures. She uploads it on YouTube - double purpose. Look for trash - and earn money from YouTube. Basically, what she is getting from the dumpster are items that can still be used. If fruits or other food, she is making sure that they are still palatable.

She also goes around the neighborhood to look for furniture, appliances and other stuff that are dumped outside the homeowner's properties.

Others will still sell the items they are getting from the dumpster and earn cash from trash.

Have you tried collecting your trash and turn it into cash? When I was a kid, it was a good business for me to collect wine/alcoholic drink bottles and sell it.

Landscaping is an in-demand business throughout the year, but many homeowners overlook the importance of garden design when building their dream home.

To become successful in this field, we should consider the following:

1. Studying the market is crucial for establishing our presence in the business.
2. After completing the study, it's time to create a business plan. This includes materials, costs, pricing, payroll, and hiring strategies.
3. Be known. Create your own identity. In this business, we need to be creative. To be set apart from the other landscaping companies or individual firms.
4. Register the business. It is important to get a business permit.
5. Market or Advertise the business. Choose the proper channel to ensure exposure.

No matter how small your business might be, as long as it has a name, it should be registered. Over here we have so many small businesses that has been working for years but have not registered their business. They feel since they do not have an offline store or office there is no need. As long as you have a brand it is important you register your business. Especially if you have plans for growth in the future.

What is a Crochet?

According to Google, it is a handicraft in which yarn is made up into a patterned fabric by looping yarn with a hooked needle. In this post, I am not going to show how it is done.

Is it a profitable business? My younger sibling who is currently renting a room in the Metro Manila area has came up with different business. He has sold binders and other Korean merch. He also sold his books signed by the authors themselves. Aside from this, he is now making crochet items.

All you need is your patience is order to make a nice masterpiece.

And of course you will need yarns of difference colors, a hooked needle and a pattern.

In today's businesses, owners and emplyees are facing high levels of stress. It gives impact to sales and production. The employees may be less likely to work harder if additional tasks are added to the previous like hitting the goals or monthly quota. There are fewer reports on satisfactory levels and this happens because of competition and the need to level up, thus, the mental break is required to have a quick response to urgency, risks, and changes in prices and brands. If the mind is exhausted, it refuses to cooperate. It requires the body to rest .

Because of the continuous problems due to inflation, many can hardly start to invest this year. There is an elevated inflation rate, so the more the new aspirants decline investing. They will wait for the right time. But when shall be the right time to happen? It seems the world will never go back to its normal situation. The first thing to do is to solve the problem of inflation by the world leaders but it seems they play deaf and dumb in this situation, correct me if I am wrong. But the sufferings that we have faced before and now. Despite this reality, continue your dream to invest but invest only according to your capital and capability. Let us never else hope.

I personally love soapies becouse they make me feel relaxed and teach me out of my space realities,I would spend the whole day watching series repeats on weekends

Small business owners in 2024 have a goal and that is to increase their revenues. With the continuous increase of prices in the market in local, national, and international, they opt to increase their revenues to meet the daily needs of their families and for extra money for the future. they also want to expand their businesses at all costs. They plan to launch new products or services or get financing for growth. They feel the need to act earlier because of the conditions of the market and the needs of the people are increasing.

Besides food, one thing we can't do without is clothing. Selling a T-shirt is a very lucrative business as quality tshirts can be used for a lot of occasions. Starting a T-shirt business does not need a huge startup capital, and you do not even need to have an offline store to startup as well. You can start small and grow the business from there.

I am pretty sure most of us have a separate business social media accounts where we promote and advertise our business. Do you normally post memes from time to time or is the account strictly for your business alone? I met someone who said it's wrong to post memes as your potential clients might see you as unserious. While some believe it helps the clinets relax and have some level of eagerness to view your stats.

Being young means something in everything, at work, play, decision-making, and for the self. They have a great advantage over the old generation. Their energy and desire to work more, save more, and profit more are their first lookout . They enjoy working and earning while the older generation wants to have many days or hours off which is why, while still young, work out all your plans to do business or invest something for the rainy days and retirement. It is the reality and no one can deny and refute it. Time is gold and time moves fast while our actions tend to move slow. Despite slow, at least continuous and consistent, no edge of an empty hand to outgrow your dreams young or old..
