This Business

In a bid to gain some finances in our pockets, many people do many things. Such things from the corporate work, to skills and business. Many even get involved in some shady things to secure this finance so much desired. It's a good thing there's this diversity, allowing everyone to find their comfortable and preferred option, or the one they can find at hand to help their financial life.

The business option has been a major thing in our world today. With large-scale global businesses to the small scale and growing ones, there's a lot of potential this option has and offers, which makes many run into it continuously. And with that, there have been several businesses available, with others still evolving with time. I guess I'm right to say that almost everyone today would love to own a business, even as a corporate worker.

With the diversity of these business options, many ventured into their desired ones. Others perhaps just did it, following the crowd or something. The thing, however, is that there are many in business today, and many coming up too. This has turned out to be the financial path for many. So, what business could I say looks admirable, yet I've never tried it, not ventured into it, and would possibly not, yes despite liking it?

Well, I'll say the business of buying and selling provisions, as we call it. All through my life; growing up to now, I've seen countless provision stores or outlets. From where I grew, to where I schooled and places I've travelled to, it remains the same; that you'll find this business in full force. It's hard for you to pass by an area and you happen not to find up to three around there. It's a kind of common and inviting business.

What makes it amazing or admirable to me? I've seen many and heard of people who ventured into this business and found a means to earn and provide for their needs. Even training children in school through this medium is being done by some parents. It became a household business. At some point, the idea of it became like a must, especially for women.

Say you have your own house and you don't do a small provision business? It shouldn't be, that's the feeling. What makes it admirable to me, nevertheless something I might not go into is how it has helped many navigate through financial need. It's mostly petty, but it has some great potential that not many would see, hence it could feel like a waste of time.

Also, what could be needed to set up and run it requires very much just the capital for the goods and a little for some other needful things. You could do it in front of your house, or even right from inside the house/room while letting everyone know what you do. Some could just require a table to set up the ‘provisions’.

Why might I not venture into it? Even as a good, helpful and admirable business, I feel that my current engagement in life could lack the time to be present to attend to customers. I might be designing, writing or whatever that I do, and a hindrance or constant distraction isn't welcome. Such moments of one customer coming and another leaving could make it unbearable and unwelcoming for me. I've seen it and can say what it feels like.
