You don't have to look far to find the seed for an idea on something to do that will bring an income and turn a profit. Here is another story I came across, there are so many wonderful examples to gain insight and inspiration from!
Today at the Carwash I started chatting to the Kris Pillay,
the Manager about Beautiful Bracelets and he told me an interesting story of
how 6 months ago he was retrenched, and he took R200 startup capital made
samoosa’s (a delicious curry-filled pastry pocket with 3 corners for anyone who
doesn’t know) and sold them on the side of the street across the road from
Waterfall Office Park which must have 1000’s of offices and people working
there. He added cakes and sweets to his range of stock. The business did well
and over the 6 month period he expanded the offerings and started making chicken
curries and Breyani (one of my favourite Indian dishes). People loved it, and
the Manager of an Office Canteen inside the Waterfall Office Park liked his
food so much that when the existing supplier’s contract expired, she offered it
to Kris. Kris employed someone to continue with this business under his
management (which he is easily able to do being within a very close proximity
of the new job he secured in a field he enjoys). Kris said that during the 6 months his food business did so well it assisted him to pay the rent and put
food on the table for his wife and family!
I love stories like this...
