"Risk is the secret for the success"

Thinking about who will gonna interview about their business and how they come up that kind of business they build. Finally found Mrs. Reyes near in our probinsya at Kisolon Sumilao, Bukidnon. a very well known sari-sari store that tells me everything about her business.

So according to Mrs. Jane Reyes the owner of the said store was started on March 21, 2000. according to her at first she never thought that her small business will grow and expand the supplies they had. at first she only have a small space until such time she need to improve and expand the space for more customers she cater. so i asked her " can you tell me about the last time you encountered the problem you had?" and how you solved it?" she answered by tearing eyes. We really never know that being an entrepreneur has a lots of challenges need to be experience for us to be a successful entrepreneurs. she also added that. One day i never thought i would make it. i never thought that i will reach this far. in this kind of business it really need to take the risk for us to be a successful and that's the secret for me. taking the risk. so i asked her. "What kind of Challenges that you had Mrs. Reyes?". she answered. I took a risk and strive hard even there's a lots of competitors that open near me but still i fight for it even though half my profit lost. but still i continue and giving my best. i have a lots of kids to feed and to studies. also my paying bills. like water bill and electricity bills. because of my hard work we have a food to eat a house that light up and water that brings us shower so how come i will give up.

Her story makes us inspire and strive hard to achieved this kind of business we wanted. so being an entrepreneur is challenging. be kind and work hard.

This is Mrs. Jane Reyes " the Risk taker entrepreneurs"

Next was I went to Public market and saw this store a owner named Mr. Jose P. Tiago. he is the owner of this Bigasan ng Bayan in Public Market of Sumilao. i briefly ask some question about his business.

This was taken on March 17, 2021 a store that the "Taong bayan". according to him. he is just an laborer at this store when he was young. but in good term the owner of bigasan admire his working so the owner let him borrow so he can start his own business. he did really well as we can see there's a lots of stocks there and customers went by as i interview him. so i asked him "can you tell me about the last time you encountered the problem you had?" and how you solved it?". he tears his eyes and said. that time i lost my wife. I remembered that because of my wife i become a good businessman. and i will not come this far without her. the time she died because of cancer my store got also cancer my stocks got molded and lots of worms on it some got already wet and damage because i closed it for how many months. the reason i lost so many stocks and customers. but one day my wife visit in my dream she tell me that i need to stand up and open to what we working so hard for so many years. and saying " Honey pangabri nas tindahan apas rako" that makes me giving hope. and i dont want to disappoint her. so i stood up prepare myself and started again. i clean up everything wash out and asking for new supplier so i can moving on and started again. it was really hard but still i did it because of her. I trusted to give some discount to the poor people and even give them some free for giving me a chance for this kind of business. thats why people called this store "TAONG BAYAN" and i never thought that i could reach this. without the them i cant stand on my own again.

Mr. Tiago makes me cry while telling me his story about his wife. we all have many challenges in our life. the most important is how will we come up and accept that challenge in our life. we cant tell how far we save it but the matter was we never stop trying.
