Hi Eu-Leh,
Alam ko wala sa topic itong question ko.
Pero pwede mo ba akong bigyan ng advice sa magandang negosyo ngayon..Planning to go into business nlang kasi napapagod na akong mag abroad.
Nalilito parin ako kasi kung ano magandang start na negosyo..Especially neophyte talaga ako when it comes to business.
Thanks,
Jerome

Ka Jerome,
Tama ka, nakakapagod na talaga mag-abroad lalo na’t karamihan sa kagaya nating OFW ay nagbuhos na ng napakaraming taon sa abroad.
Sorry to disappoint you but I’m not a business guru nor had a business experience, so I’m not in the position to give you authoritative business advice. I can give you some basic pointers though.
Dapat yung papasukan mong negosyo ay meron kang sapat na kaalaman at yung talagang pinakahihiligan mo. Pag-aralan mong mabuti sa pamamagitan ng paggawa ng business plan at feasibility studies. Mag inbestiga at magtanong-tanong sa mga may negosyong kapareho ng iniisip mo.
Dapat may sapat kang kapital hindi lamang sa simula ng negosyo kundi pati sa operational expenses for at least 6 months. May mga expenses na bigla na lang lalabas during operation na hindi mo inaasahan kaya dapat palagi kang may buffer fund.
Halos 75% ng mga unang sumubok sa negosyo ay hindi nagtagumpay. Kaya kung sakaling isa ka sa madadagdag sa statistics, huwag mawalan ng pag-asa at sumubok ulit. If you’re not a risk taker, try to put up a small business first with minimal capital, just to test the waters ika nga. In case hindi nag click o nalugi hindi ganong malaki ang impact sa iyo.
Attend ka rin ng mga seminars para malaman mo ang mga tamang teknik,paraan at mga bagong business ideas na pwede mong i-apply sa magiging negosyo mo.

I hope I make sense here. Goodluck!

Eu-Leh,
Thanks for sharing all the information about anything! I used to sell squidballs/kikiam/fishballs every summer break from school. It’s been a small pastime, and now that I’m abroad, I would want to save up some to make that hobby a full-time business in the near future.
Thanks again!

Hi Sherlane,
You’re welcome and thanks for visiting the site.

hello! nagenjoy ako sa pagbasa ng mga recipes mo kasi very simple para sa talagang mga baguhan sa pagluluto. dito ako sa middle east nagwowork.ano ba ang pwedeng i- substitute sa mga ricewine na nakikita ko misan sa mga ibang recipe? yung gingerroot? red vineger? shortening? thanks and Godbless!
Eu-Leh Says: 5/04/2007 03:36:00 PM
If you are in Saud Arabia, you can’t find any substitute for rice wine, as you know, any beverage with alcohol content is banned. But if you’re from any other middle east countries, any cooking wine substitute will do.
For ginger root, vinegar and shortening, you can easily find all these stuff from big supermarkets at condiments and baking section. Regards.

i just noticed that the direction for the squid ball e kulang ang shrimps and ginger. does this mean i just dump everything in the food processor?
