Human nature generally curbs sharing of business opportunities & secrets. :)
If you narrow down your topic, we may still get into a lively exchange of opinions.

Any idea sis how to start Coffee and/or Bake shop/Pastry shop business? Dream ko kasi to have a coffee shop with cakes/breads set in a comfy place na may mini library where you can rent books. We have a large library at home, may isa pa sa other home namin na may Filipiniana books, J.P. Rizal books, geography books, picture books worth reading (kaso baka masayang at malaspag, hindi kaya?) hmmm... Too late na kaya since hello Starbucks mushrooming everywhere, di ba?


How to spot the perfect location for this kind of business? Let's say in 3 - 4 years time (2016)? That's the year I plan to put up it up. I don't want to franchise eh, I wanna make my own. Don't want to pay royalty fees anymore. Most importantly, how to keep your trade recipes secret? Kasi di ba, it's not like ako mag be-bake the whole day everyday, I should have 2-4 workers. Right now, currently enrolled ako sa coffee making and baking classes kasi I plan maka perfect ng at least 3-4 cakes or anything na masarap talaga.


Any thoughts, or tingin ninyo hindi maganda ito? Any ideas will do. TIA!

Pag beauty or wellness interest mo -- go to the trade fairs in Bangkok. They are at the forefront of beauty & wellness products/equipmnt/etc.   Don ka maka gets ng ideas.

^FORTUNECAT8 - maganda yan.  Aim for a location where more than 12hrs/24 your business will be brisk.
Spend time at the more successful coffee shops -- observe why their customer traffic is good.

You don't need to franchise -- but you gotta nail down really well your coffee supplier. 
But it's worth to look at franchises, to observe & learn --  the more you research, observe & study the business --  the clearer you will see the business Winning Line.

Good luck!

sis, aquacharly, ako im an inactive member of human nature. hindi kasi ako naging successful dun, medyo nahihirapan ako i-alok at marami narin kasi member non kaya marami ka-kumpetensya.
right now, im into health and beauty. part of it is travelling which is great.
pero i think kulang pa ako sa market, paano ba mas maka kuha ng maraming market?

Hi sis, i can't afford to travel like what i said i don't have the means for now and besides i'm a first time mom. Most of my time and money is spent for my baby... do you have any idea if there's like any expo here in our country lang. i wanted to attend to business expo as much as possible to learn and get a concept for my own business.

ysanity, thanks sis sa PM ha. Ano pa mga business mo ngayon na health and beauty?

aquacharly, thanks so much for the tips. yes you are right that's why i'm always studying and learning about this business. haha i'm thinking about working in a coffee shop/bake shop to really really know the trade and everything.

do you know where (or what country) to get the best supplier(s)? and i am always on the lookout for upcoming Trade Shows & Conferences.

Thanks! :)

my dream is to go fulltime into business and create a business out of my day job now, kaso
big big cap. and not ready pa for that and dont want to give up pa the perks of my job. I do hope
in 1-2 years time I can do ths na, tiis tiis,  Gusto ko ngang magaral ng entrep or management
course kaso where I am now medyo mahirap so I try to read books lang.

Nakakatakot lang magfulltime sa bix, kaya kelangan pagaralan talaga ng mabuti how to go about it. :-(

I'm into import/distribution of beverage. I'm still in the documentation process and it's HELL.
Local Permits + FDA + Customs = Waiting Time + Expenses

I just hope masimulan ko na ito come Ber-months.

^ wow congratulations! :)

hindi lahat may lakas ng loob at risk at confidence na pumasok sa isang business, pero once your in it. sobrang worth it at rewarding.

4 years akong government employee, im earning 50k/month pero hindi parin sapat at di ako masaya. saka gusto ko natututukan ko baby ko.

kaya ngayon nasa business na ako, starting pero malaki ang potential.:)

Try reading these books. hindi ko pa nababasa mga business books and self development books pero so far ito yung best sakin.

-A millioaire mind
-Eat that Frog
-Rich dad, Poor dad
-The Secret

Read these books. Malaking tulong and eye opener. :)

I think I Belong dito!  :D

Madami na din ako nasubokang business, maaga ang training ko dahil sa hirap ng buhay namin nun. @ 6 yrs old natuto ako magtinda ng plastic bag at tigi tiging garlic sa market ng kusa at gusto ko, habang lumalaki natuto din ang mag peddling ng gulay, kakanin, house decoration pati nga puppies ng kapit bahay namin binebenta ko tsaka ko bayaran pag nabenta na haha pinaka una kong  Buy and Sell tapos kahit ano ano nalang na pwede bilhin, tuboan at ibenta. Year 2004 ata  bago pa lang nauso ang online selling may AUCTiON.PH  na isa ako sa may malaking  kinita dun sa site na yon. Nag pipay out ang site sakin ng 50,000 weekly. para kasi silang gitna ng buyer and seller. pag nag order ang buyer, hahawakan muna nila ang bayad, inform ang seller na ipadala na ang item, once na confirm ng buyer na na received nya na tsaka pa i-reremit ng auction.ph ang persa sa seller. ok di ba kasi walang ma-sscam. Ginagawa ko punta lang ako DVsoria, tingin ng pwede maibenta, pipicturan ko, post at pag may bibili saka na ako pupunta dv para bilhin at ipaship, pianaka challenge lang pag wala na yong kulay or design na yon sa supplier, kailangan hagilapin sa buong dvsoria haha sayang lang  naluma sya at sumikat ang sulit, may nabebebenta din naman pero di na ganun kalaki at madami na din kakumpetemsyang seller kaya tinamad at nag sawa ako sa online selling. Networking sinubukan ko din. At madami pang iba....

 sumobok din ako kumuha permanent space sa mall at magtinda. mahirap kasi mahal ang renta. Bazaar/tiangge naman sinalihan ko, maliit or malaki man sumasali ako, yon lang minsan lugi kasi di bawi ang renta at expenses , kukupitan ka pa ng tindera pero masaya.natigil lang last yeaR kasi nag relocate kami sa singapore:(

Sa dami nang nasubukan ko, nag isip ako ng negosyo na pwede ko simulan at pwede ipaglatuloy ng pamilya ko sa probinsya, breadwinner kasi ako, kaya goal ko din naman matuto yong umaasa sakin. Negosyo na kahit wala ako physically, tatakbo at mag ooperate pa din.  negosyo na di kailangan tinututukan araw araw,  di ako magbayad ng mahal na renta pero gusto ko madaming pwesto😄 pero walang sinasahuRang mangungupit na bantay.  :P negosyo na pwedeng simulan sa maliit na capital.

Business ko ngayon? Happing happy ako. Nag susupply ng produkto (wag nyo na tanongin kung ano ;) ) sa Supermarkets,Convenience Store, School Canteens and Airport Pasalubong Stalls. Pinakamahirap magsimula kasi dapat mag isip ng  produkto at kailangan completo lahat ang PermiTs (DTI, Mayors, BIR, BFaD) at isa isa ko nilapitan lahaT ng susupplyan pero after nyan kayang kaya na ng pamilya ko, ginagawa nila Repacking sa bahay,  Delivery at Collection nalang. Parang meron na rin akong 20 pwesto at pwede ko pa expand pero wala akong binabayarang rent at tindera, di ko na din kailangan mag inventory araw araw. Gas lang pinakamalaking expenses.

Masaya na ako sa current biz pero ibibigay ko na sa family ko yon kasi napatakbo na naman nila ng maayos kahit wala ako. Nag iisip pa din ako ng iba pa .......  ::)

Maliit daw kita ng bigas retailing sis, piso psio lang daw :( Ok lang daw sana kung araw araw makakabenta ka ng 10sacks or isabay mo sa sari sari store. di ko pa naman na try, nabasa ko lang din naman sa  pinoymoneytalk

At ang bait mo ha iiwan mo na sa kanila yung naitayo mong negosyo.... Kaya ka pinagpapala sis :)
