i got one uncle who was only sec 2 and educated in mandarin. when the AMK suburb was completed, he rode around on his bike and distributed pamphlet touting his company of doing tiling. Armed with a a couple of hundred of dollars and 2 penange tile layers, he managed to climb all the way to a big towkay dealing in marine labour supply company. not that i condone his current tactics but that is one rag-to-rich story that i can share.
for online, these are some of the successful online shop that i used to patronise;
- www.fitnessone.com.sg
- www.nutritionpark.com
- www.nutri-forefront.com
- www.atwsg.com
alot of hardwork though as all the deliveries are done in person. but these kind of business is limited by its geographic region that it is residing in, namely sg. the big ones are out there among the other countries and other corporations.
think big.. the online shop are trinkets. aim for big MNCs and big margin. why make $1000 when u can make $100,000? corporates and governments are the one that have deeeeeeep pockets.
But still must start small and try try mah... although I have no idea how to make anything big yet...
anyway, the new online shop:
