New Chicken/Poultry Business

I’m quite busy today because I’m preparing for our launch tomorrow. We are making big steps to open up a fresh chicken business. It’s been a month already since this was planned and I am just waiting for the right time. The right time is tomorrow August 15, 2010 Sunday and it is full moon. What ever does the day means I just felt that it is the right time. About 2am I talked to the supplier of fresh chicken and its good to go for tomorrow. At 10am I talked to the owner of the small place that I want to rent and now it is good too. While whining this morning I already listed all of prospect buyers that cook chicken on their meals. Of course I would like to start the household friends. And good news I have orders for tomorrow. LOL

Would you like to start up a fresh chicken business in the market? If yes, try to connect the dots that you need to be able to push through this business.

1. Look for a place to sell. It would be best if it is in the wet market area. The rent should be at a reasonable cost. Check the electricity connection and ask if there is an extra payment for it.
2. Look for the right supplier of chicken and try to deal with him if you get the product and pay him after selling time. Usually in the market they start at 3am until 12nn. You don’t need a huge amount of capital just to start up this business.
3. Try to familiarize the different ways of cutting the chicken parts. Example; bite size, thinly slice, etc.
4. Here are nine (9) other things that you need:
a. digital weighing scale (or you may use the traditional one)
b. stainless plate (where you put the chicken before weighing it)
c. wood chopping board (the thicker the better)
d. red mantle (it represents that your selling poultry products)
e. table and structured wood were you may hung the dressed chicken
f. plastic bag (size: tiny)
g. apron (so that the blood will not scatter on your clothes)
h. butcher’s knife, boning knife
i. dump clothes

Now we’re done and may start to sell! Good luck to us… In every business that we would enter try to be patient for the next three (3) months. After that we will know the flow of that business. Believe me it is worth to be yourself a boss and at the same time slave by your own business. Try to think the opportunity cost that you will earn.

Top 5 Business Career Attitudes

In putting up a business there are certain attitudes that need to be considered or else you will have all alibis in this world. I know there are a lot of attitudes but I think this enumerations will guide you either starting or in the continuance of your business. I will put my own definition based on what I experienced before. If I were you take note the top five attitudes and as you go along with your business then that is the time defining it. Here are my 5 list of attitudes that we must have at all times:

1. Courage – don’t start a business without this because this is one of the very important foundations. You may have a huge capital but if not having this you can’t start any business at all. Business is like a gamble sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. In losing times you need a lot of this attitude… Courage to continue, smile, etc.
2. Persistence – would you believe that there are highest rate of pessimistic person around you. They will not encourage you to have business and will state all the possible risks to the business that you like to put up. Well I guess this attitude enters if you need to go on. Be persistent on the plans that you make.
3. Patience – you need this in finding the right cheap suppliers and good payer customer. Since you are dealing with people they have different characters and not all of them are kind.
4. Optimistic – it’s very rare in selling with a pessimistic attitude. Being optimistic leaps you higher in business industry. Most likely you are self-motivated and goal-oriented businessman.
5. God-fearing – put God on the center of your business career and nothing can beat you. Especially if you done the right thing. Always remember the golden rule, that the cycle of being a vendor and consumer is unending. Be honest at all times.

Well I hope you learn something from me I am just a simple vendor that would like to share my experiences to all of you. Good luck to your business!!!
