Things are constantly sold in and out at random times during the day and night. There's a very low cost of overhead, because guess what!? It's in the basement! Instead of spending thousands of dollars on space like ordinary retail stores, mine is just secretly hidden and stuffed inside of the basement walls! The internet is mostly responsible for all of my hit sales and customers. I'm responsible for keeping the goods and products lined up. Like an over sized deck of playing cards, my fundamental job is to hunt down more and more products. America is lacking in manufacturing plants, which means that everything is "Made in China". Most retail stores just order their products from large, wholesalers. As a small businessman, I do not have the resources to produce my own manufactured goods. It would just take too much time to design engineering plans, patents, copyrights, legal documents of ownership, etc. What someone in my shoes can do is find an already existing product and make it better. To make an existing product better is simple: Just lower the price. The key is to be able to find a extremely low buying price, buy out the entire stock, and resell it (keeping in mind that your resell prices are some of the lowest in comparison to your competitors). The point of being able to find what's out there is not limiting yourself to one source, thus being able to escape boxing yourself in. You have to do your own research, your own detective work, and your own hunting. No one is going to tell you what is right or wrong: You have to use your own creative mind and do it yourself. In the below picture is just sample of how I operate and think.
But seriously, with everyone in believing in Jesus and Buddha is this it? Is a hole in the wall with a bunch of random ass goods the mecca of my sole propriety of business? Are you kidding me? No, I'm not joking. The world is not ready for the likes of me. This is how I hold my own in this world. There is no magical God helping me in any way, shape, or form; and if I were to run the show by myself it would most likely look exactly like this. Yes, it's a very scary reality where time and resources is very limited. It's unfortunate, but this is the one night stand of my pride and joy that won't be forgotten.
Five years down the road, how will things look? Is there a future for such a place? Am I destined to succeed or fail in business with only a tiny basement? I look toward Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Larry Page, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, and other superstars who have beaten the odds and became self-made men worth millions of dollars. As for me, things look grim; but I know that I still have time to change for the better; to make things right once with the world and to become the best version, alternate reality of "me" I can be in this world that's happening right now. It's not going to be easy; it's never going to be easy; but one day the stars will align properly; and I'll be one step closer to my goal of becoming a sufficient self-made man. Is it real or just a crazy fantasy?
Where's this supply chain of products coming from? I can't manufacture my own products!? But wait a minute, Steve Jobs did it. I saw myself in a room like Steve Jobs, and it became more and more clear that I could pull off my own starter company. No one has ever heard of me, but yet people buy my products; so I must have something unique. Yet, there was a problem. This wasn't a traditional business model for everyone else. This wasn't something that people are use to. I had my doubts. No one else talks about drilling a hole in the wall and making a business out of nothing. It doesn't bother me. The key is to hold on to my vision of starting my own fully, functional company. Focus! Solomon you got to focus and work hard! Whatever it takes, I will do.
