To each his own. You can even help to bottle feed and back the baby while waiting for the mother upstairs to finish her make up.

You can offer an excellent customer service without resorting to servitude.

I tire oooo, leaving your and accepting to drive them and waiting for ten minutes for them to come down from upstairs as they always say. You may even have to call repeatedly to plead with them to come and all these are not enough service to them my brother I don't know what else I'll do to please them.

Who are the OUR? if I'm doing a business and I can't recover my capital in 6months or a year, then it doesn't worth it. You just want to impress people here you are bereft of biz ideas. If I'm selling 800pieces (trying to push it to 1000pieces before December) of slice bread per week at N240 each...make your calculation. I have 5 staffs, the highest earn 60k per month, 3 earn 35k and 2 earn 30k per month. I run my gen 4 to 5hours per day. Pls do your calculation.


Gazzuzz ,

With your 2million, travel to Ondo state, buy 35logs at 50k per log. Transport it to shagamu with 150k, load it in a container, forwarding fee is 1,100,000. A container is sold at $12,000.
Buy palm oil from ondo, and sell in that big market close to ketu. There are women that buy 500 25litres keg every 2weeks.

There's a way guys construct "coldroom" now, let them construct for you. It is better than an irregular 35k with repairs per week....

Etc..
..

Your oil sales biz and your car repair workshop is giving you the cashflow you need as a man/husband/father. What can 35k even do in a week?? Is that what you guys call a cash flow?? You are not just informed!

(Added this)
Gazzuzz , let your wife sell pet drinks in whole sale. 2m will give her lots of bigcola products (that's the new drink for the masses), then she can add cocacola n Pepsi products...

Look around you, Haruna is densely populated. What's giving Nigeria relevance in the market place today is her population.

Lovely ideas sir, but i also feel you need to learn how to make your points without adding a bit of insults to it. Once you start with the insults, you have lost most people reading and whatever follows counts for a little.

Like it has been said earlier, every business with its ups and downs and each Aboki to his kettle. You will be surprised to find out what many people on here do apart from Uber and how well they do at it.

From your points above, you have not said Uber is not profitable but you just feel the break-even wait time is too long for your own preferred investment which is understandable.

If everybody here pulls out of Uber and joins your bakery business or everybody moves to palm oil business, what becomes of such business.

I dont know how much you make daily or weekly that you call cashflow and that makes you say 35k weekly is nothing............ But whatever you make, I am sure Dangote sees that your cashflow as nothing..... But i doubt he will come out in the Open and say you are bereft of ideas or try to rubbish your hustle.

No man is an island of knowledge, but even while trying to pass knowledge to people "who don't know as much as you do"......... Still try to be humble at it. One man's best clothe is another mans rags.

It happened in Alade market Ikeja.
I needed to buy some dollars, one guy came and said he can get it for me cheap. He asked me to wait for him, he collected my money and gave me his own bundle of money as "Assurance" that he'll not run with my money which was like 5x the amount I gave him. A few minutes later, he returned saying the owner of the dollar is requesting that I add more money that hes no longer selling at the agreed rate, so I refused and asked him to give me back my money which he brought out, counted and recounted b4 handing it back to me and I also returned his.

When I now got to one of the offices where I usually buy, the Mallam say my money no complete...that dude half my money...azzin he took half and gave me half. I wan mad!

...and nah company money, not mine.
I don't think I saw the part where u counted b4 u left the scene of the incident.

Someone said this "

Buying a tokunbo car of 1.7m or 1.8m to start uber/taxify doesn't make sense. It is purely lack of business idea. 35k weekly and your car can't do 52 weeks. 40weeks at most, then repairs. This doesn't make sense at all.
This biz should be a side hustle for car owners. Not a kind of biz that some guys will be feeling like CEOs.
Unemployment na issue for this naija "


Let me say a few things, first of all, The sole purpose of business is to make profit and next is how to maximize profit.
Buying a toks for 1.7m-1.8m to venture into uber/taxify makes perfect sense as against spending 900k on a naija used car which must have gone through the hands of Kazeems. A toks, if carefully driven, is expected to serve you well.
You made mention of 52weeks, repairs and breakdowns. This is a norm in every business operated by machines, you can't rule that out and that's where maximizing of profit comes in. Now, in the case of maximizing profit, there are things you look at, should there be breakdown for instance, would u prefer to replace with inferior parts which would last for a short period of time or replace with an oem part which would last longer? I believe the machines you also make use of undergoes wear and tear...

I will continue, let me have my breakfast.

Thumbs up buddie.



TheCar:


I sincerely hope you would come forward and talk more about this your so called business.

But first in the world of business never be close minded. Just because you have a bakery or a bottle water coy as claimed doesn't mean people on this thread lack business ideas like you claimed.

Just because it doesn't make sense to you doesn't make it a poor business. Even your claimed business venture (Bakery and bottle water) need transportation.

Or how do you get your raw material, flour, sugar and other materials you mixed together to make your bread. Even if you have bread seller come to your bakery to collect bread for sale (i.e. if na Agege Bread) you dey produce. If you produce slice bread am sure you transport it to direct selling point e.g. Supermarkets, retail store or the kisok next door.

I asked you to explain your business idea, but I am surprised you take it as an insult or an attempt to attack your person. Far from it.

Nobody is an island of knowledge and if you think you a better idea business wise, we welcome you to share your thoughts with us.

People driving here make money, car owners too make money by collecting weekly rental. So here, we have people who provide the asset (Car) and people who provide the service (Drive). People that pay for the service are called Rider.

People that provides the service collect money from people that need the service (Rider) and people that provides the asset get paid weekly (Rental).


52 weeks is a year, car last more that a year. It's called fixed asset. Just like your baking oven, Car is the asset here. You pay rent, PHCN bills, genrator, petrol, other expenses and probably insurance (if you have any). Here our business expenses are engine oil, petrol, car wash and filter.

If you baking oven developed fault, you call a repairer to fix it,when our asset too developed fault,we called our Kazeems, Auto Technician, and other car specialist to provide solutions.

So sir, like I said earlier, you want our attention, now you have it. Let us hear what you have to say? Be constructive, be detailed, be ready to answer questions, don't ask us to come pay for ebook or any course. You enter our thread,be ready to answer all our questions relating to your business.

Cheers

You do have a point here but that's because itbisba different business entirely, when u strictly look at it from ehailing point of view then it is better to get a toks for 1.7m than going for a naija used car which maintenance is relatively unknown, though there are few good naija used cars out there.

I hardly get trips in the morning these days but afternoon n evening trips are pretty normal. Chop both Monday n Tuesday evening bonus after burning up the whole 6k fuel to make 22k gross.

The rate at which I consume fuel moving around looking for riders is just too much. Else if I don't move. I wont get enough request.

From ICM. I took a rider to agege, blow back to ICM got another resquest quickly to magboro., blew back to ICM then resquest to surulere almost immediately again.

Na so I sit inside car in surulere kilo till 10:30pm no request before blowing fuel back home.

Today na. Its 10:30 no resquest. I no won burn fuel.

I love to engage in intelligent conversation. I like people share ideas without hidden intentions. I like people who have facts, figures and market realities not some assumptions derived from Business Plan.

If you can't read as a business person, I wonder the kind of business you do. You're a business person and you're not detail-oriented.

Like you said, Ayam a poor mind but poor mind like us are busy sharing money making ideas without hidding any details but Rich mind like you can't even tell us how to start a bakery business. What we need to start, when we can get raw material, the target market, cost involved in setting up a bakery etc. Yet you're busy hyping yourself.

Boss, be humble. Give details not mere say. We don't need hype man here, we need men of value. People who can add value. grin
