All these are very straight forward answers. But simplest put, whatever you put in, you should be be prepared to lose whatever money you put in.
Many thanks for your advise. I will look into it. By the way, there is a seminar on "understanding the pushcart forum", have you attended before or know anyone does?

Dear Steve,

Nobody here will teach you step by step what to do. My talk is about understanding the business in general. Why do i reveal trade secrets where thousands here are hiding it?

Because i see a flaw in the community as i am on the ground myself at the pushcart every single day. There is a serious lack of consumer confidence in pushcart businesses. Alot of people are too proud and stubborn to seek help. Just like you, ask yourself with the type of replies and help you get from here, how much can it benefit you.

If you are unhappy with my talk and find it a total waste of time, i can refund you your $88. But if you think it helps you alot, please let your friends know should they be keen in starting a business.

The STARTING part is always simple, SUSTAINING it is not easy. Alot of people start a business without knowing how to sustain it. I did not ask for help when i began, but at least i take effort to self educate and not rely on others.

Regards.

Steve, If you do not have any background in business, any such forums or talks will be helpful to you. As sbit has said, no1 can tell you step by step what to do. What can be done is someone telling you roughly what to watch out for and which way to proceed. With that said, I have never attended any such talks and am unsure if it is of any benefit to you.

Meinteel. what are you looking for?

Hi,

Yes there is still slots. 30/10/11 from 11-2pm..

This seminar consist of topics you have to consider before starting a pushcart business. For those already with a pushcart, certain topics will refresh your memories and change the ways you do things.

There is a flaw in the community, im trying to fix it up and gain more consumer confidence for the community. Im on the ground every other days, when i ask my customers feedback, they always tell me one thing. "One day here, the other day gone" How to keep buying things from them?

There are many hiccups you will encounter or never thought you might encounter. So please take the first step to self educate yourself and not add on weight to the frail community.
