Meat delivery biz. It ended in tears. I started building my customer base from family and friends; they ruined the biz with debt.

However, I won't give up because I have the brand name registered already. I will repackage and come up with new strategy. I never say die.

Ohh, you mixed friendship with business. It doesn’t usually work..

Business is business and family is family oo..

Goodluck

Business is all about money
Re: Which Business Did You Regret Starting Because It Ended Up In Huge Loss by BluntTheApostle(m): 4:13pm On Jul 16, 2021
At first, it was blogging. I heard that one could make a lot of money. I researched niche, and started a blog. For a year, I posted consistently. Nothing came out of it. I rebranded, self-hosted my blog and invested on promotions. Still nothing. I only became poorer.

Then I saw Okadabooks talking about how profitable ebooks are. I began to write an ebook on mathematics. I paid for quality book covers, energetically advertised my book. NOTHING came out of it.

Betshop. It wasn't the business that brought me down but the black man who will enter my shop and be angry/envious at how too equipped it is for a betshop.

They want to view matches but not pay, they want to play game but not pay , they want to bet on credit. 2 million down the drain.

I had a viewing enter a game shop and a bet shop all in thesame shop but the community was hell bent on giving their money to my competitors because they are not used to modern facilities. I have carried my load for better investment. Wish the devilish black minded Nigerians well.

Nigeria is dead. Just a matter off time that its rotten corpse will blow up on our faces .

Unfortunately I have invested in different businesses and have been disappointed largely because I knew little about them and not always available. I will advise that you know much about what you are investing on and be available to drive it with passion to your dream land. My loses were in millions and still I regret till this day. Pls research every aspect so u don't get disappointed. Bless you and good luck.


Same thing happened to me.

Warning to those who are about delving into business.

Always be on ground, understand business and be a partaker. cool

sorry to say, that means you have not done any business.
some times it goes beyond planning such as things you can control like capital you need, location, market segments, your intending rivals but there are some things that you can't control like sudden government policies (Eg border closure, twitter ban, forex regulation), your rivals may have unexpected strength over you not until you start the business, the business environment might just suddenly just when you started Eg customer taste can just change overnight (you may think from your market survey that customer want product A but as soon as you start delivering productA taste can just change over night to product B which may be too expensive for your young business to produce.
