hello all my beloved friends wherever you are, who are always loyal to this beloved community #homesteading

how are you all hope you are healthy always in the protection of the almighty God.

Today I decided to join you guys, and want to be a part of this family.

and as a first step, I will make my contribution in this community with all of you.

Since one year ago the world has been shocked by an outbreak of an infectious disease, namely the Corona virus or popularly known as COVID-19.

almost every country has an impact due to this disease, not except my country Indonesia.

even in the early days of this disease spreading, many people who contracted this disease died.

not only that, this disease had shaken the country's economy, even nearly hundreds of thousands of workers were terminated or laid off, which resulted in them having to sit quietly at home.

Of course this is very disturbing for the community, many people have lost their jobs and have difficulty supporting their families.

I am one of those affected by the termination of employment, which causes me to be at home without any work, while I have to support my wife's family and children.

Of course, I can't stay silent with this situation, I have to rack my brain, mind and energy so that I can support my family in the midst of the current viral epidemic.

Finally, after going through a long process and discussing with my wife, I decided to open a small kiosk in front of my house to support the economic needs of my family.

At first my wife had doubts, because we did not have the capital and experience in the field of sales.

but circumstances forced me to be reckless and dare to take risks.

Finally, with my meager savings, I bought a few pieces of wood at the panglung wood shop and bought sago palm leaves as a roof for our kiosk, and hired a handyman to build our kiosk.

In the end, even though it was small and simple, we finished building the gas on Thursday with minimal capital.

After finishing the construction of our kiosk, it occurred to me what I wanted to sell at this kiosk.

I have to turn my mind again, have to be creative and innovative to come up with ideas about what menu I will sell here, of course what we sell must sell, with little capital because our capital is almost completely drained after we finish building a kiosk.

in the end my choice fell on a traditional food menu that is so popular in remote villages and of course this menu does not require a lot of capital to prepare it.

the food menu that we sell is grilled meatballs, grilled tofu, grilled tempeh and chicken claws.

In the end, my courage paid off, our merchandise was selling well, even all the menus we sold in the afternoon were all sold out, and we made a big profit from a small amount of capital.

In a day our merchandise sells about 300 skewers of grilled meatballs, 300 skewers of grilled tofu, 300 skewers of grilled tempeh and chicken feet, we want to earn around 1 million rupiah from a capital of 300,000.

I continue to study the behavior of consumers, it turns out that they not only bring it home, but also after buying it, it is eaten on the spot, and that is certainly an opportunity for me to add to my menu of merchandise, mine, namely juice and cold water.

I again bought 2 blenders and various kinds of sachet drinks as the main ingredients for making fresh juice.

from here I learned a lot about life that life does not always go as we want, sometimes life requires creativity and innovation which requires us to be creative and innovative.

and rest assured that the effort will not betray the results and the results will not betray the effort.

as long as we are willing to try and struggle there will be a way.

and that's a little experience that I can share with all of you, hopefully it will be useful for all of you and can grow courage in doing business.

I also invite my friends who have not joined this community to join immediately, @neoseven,@alvonsohiver,@deimage,@idayrus,@jasonmunapasee.

Hey dear fellow you are right that COVID-19 has affected everyone, every country and each community and most of the average people and poor people.

And after the breakthrough you did a good job preparing your kiosk and bro you are right it is really hard for everyone to decide when we have to start any business.

And you took a good decision of roast selling, chicken tikka as well as other tasty stuff.

thank you my friend for your kind words, I really appreciate it, have a nice day always

You are welcome dear and thanks for the good wishes.

it's amazing what you do

thank you very much for the word your good

If there's something I have come to understand is that when we save money there's a tendency that we'll have good use for it in the future. And this use will definitely be profitable and will leave us feeling happy that we decided to take the risks.

In your case, first, I am happy that you were a saver, and you have seen the first hand benefits of savings because it helped you jump on this opportunity and it turned out great.

Now, no one will have to tell you to always save during the rosy period, because you have benefited from it once

I am glad that your kiosk is doing well, and that you have a supportive family who didn't try to discourage you when you wanted to take this journey. You are blessed.

Again, it's great that you study your consumers and you keep adding goods, and products that will make them happy, and at the same time generate more sales for you.

I am proud of you. Keep it up. And may your business continue to grow and prosper. Amen.

thank you very much for your golden words, I'm glad what I do can be a motivation for others
