| Hi, my name is Tina a woman own business and I’m trying to grow my retail business in toys and collectibles(anime). I never knew retail was such a hard business to start up. It all started as a hobby and something I have a passion for when speaking to other people about anime. I started out small in a flea market, only open on weekends. I worked as a x-ray technician at a hospital. First year was rough with business and it is true what they say about business and that it takes several years to grow and lots of work. Every profit the business makes goes right back into the business for more merchandise. We are going on our second year of business now and I’m starting to grow out of our flea market store. I’ve learned that there is lots of hardship, time, and creativity to keeping a business going. Having a store alone does not cut it and I adventure out to doing conventions all over town and advertise our store. Sometimes I get really stress out and overwhelmed that our house is a storage for our business. My son sometimes does not have enough room to play around in the house. My husband works two jobs and we need to take care of our 18 month old. I just tell myself to keep pushing and that this business is for financial freedom and more time with family. What makes our store unique is that we import our stuff from Japan. I came across this site on YouTube when doing some research on small business loan and wanted to give this a try. I just want to say anything helps and appreciate all the kind people out there. Any donation amount will help toward speeding up and expanding our business as we look for a leasing space and furnishing our store next year or sooner. The money is used toward playing off our credit card, which we used to start up the business. We are not going through any hardship so maybe someone else on this website deserve it more than we do. We are just simply asking for help to make our business grow and one day return the favor to someone else who need to start up their business. I appreciate you taking your time to read this story. Have a wonderful day and god bless. |
