Who Said This Would be Easy?
I don’t think I must tell anyone that this economy is troublesome and many of us have been having a fairly hard time. I lost my position about four months ago when the company where I was working closed down 2 of their production lines and my bro in law, Barney got his pink slip last month when his office announced that they were closing the doors for good.
Both of us spent a fair period of time and energylooking for new roles but with absolutely no luck. However, we were clear on the fact that we still required earnings to pay our bills and support our families so Barney and I decided to go into business on our own.
We had no clear idea on what this operation would be as my only real talent and experience was in manufacturing washing machines and Barney had worked as a QC inspector at a candy plant. However, my young neighbor convinced us that rap music, rappers and that hip hop approach to life was the latest expansion trend in our culture today. Now I must admit that both Barney and I agree that the entire’rapper scene’ is just plain foolish but if it earns money then who are we to argue.
Somehow we decided to go after the jewellery segment of the hip hop market with the plan that we could start off rather small and just offer our stuff for sale at flea markets until we could afford to open a regular store. So, our next task was to find a wholesale hip hop watches outlet.
We quickly discovered we had a serious problem in that we were a new business with no track record and no credit report which meant that nobody would sell us any inventory apart from money. They were all extraordinarily respectful to assure us that credit purchases would be possible after we were established but it was all going to be COD at the beginning. We started scrambling then to find a fast cash loan today.
Well, we ultimately got our money together. Not especially as much as we wanted but enough to at least buy some starter inventory and get the project rolling and we had also found some promising wholesale outlets that we presumed we could deal comfortably with. However, none of these wholesale vendors was in out city so we were going to want to travel which meant making airline and hotel reservations.
Getting the airline reservations was very easy and most of the hotels now subscribe to some type of online booking engine that made dealing with them also pretty simple.
