Hello friends
I hope you are having good time.
I mentioned in my previous post that I am a self employed person. Being drowned in financial bad conditon,once, I had to look for a part time job.I went to many places but finding a decent paying job was very difficult as the timing of the job and my spare weren't matching. After trying hard for weeks, I found a job.Timing of the job totally matched with my spare time and that's why I took the oppertunity and soon I joined.
Source [sacs of potatoes]
It was potato wholesale warehouse. Main item was potato but there were other items like onion,garlic and eggs also. Most of people from adjacent market would go there to by items for their shops.My job was to handle the cash counter and noting down the inventory at the same time. I used to go there at 5 am. and my duty was for 6 hrs hence. I would close my day's business around 12 pm because I had to count the stock,the sold times and cash. Balancing the opening stock and closing stock is a tough job of course.
Owner of the warehouse:
He is a simple man, always abuses and very rough using words but good at maintaining his business well smooth.Initially it was very difficult to cope with him and the enviornment around.later I was used to it.He had built the business one-handedly working hard day and night over past 20 years.He hadn't go to any school but yet he is very good at doing his business.He totally surprised me.
Source [He is not the real person]
He lived in the footpath in early days.Oneday he gave a little shop with vegetables.Thus he started his journey.Ofcourse he had to go through tough times but never got disappointed. Working with labour class made him abusive but it's okay. Many of educated people usually do it.
All this things I heard from his wife. She said when they got married, her father helped him with a piece of land for that he could run the shop from there. His business started growing and onday he bought another shop in the market. He started running the business from both places.He hired a few workers.The new addition of business was also growing up day by day. After 20 years of memorable journey he took another storehouse and I was appointed to take care of it.
Sale and profit per day:
After my joining, I came to know his a lot of warehouses but I do not know much about other houses. All of the accounts is from my warehouse but she said in sale this warehouse is at 3rd position in term of selling.
Selling 150 sacs of 50kg potato produces him approx $150 @ $1/sac.
Selling 100 sacs of 50kg onion produces him approx $150 @ $1.5/ sac.
Garlic produces him approx $50.
Eggs produced him approx $100.
So, Per day profit from a warehouse approx $450.
He has expenses and salaries that I calculated is approx $50.
So, his daily profit from my warehouse approx $400.
He has more than 5 warehouse in different places whose approximate
average profit is $ 300.I calculated his daily income from all of his warehouses $1500.
Of course he has other expenses like amusing locals gangs, managing political parties. He is a famous man indeed but what is the most surprising part of the stroy , he still sits on a Flat mat in his warehouse and sells article in his own hand. Human is a slave of his habit. He built the habit from the early stage of his journey at the roadside.
Lesson I learned:
Keeping patience is the best quality to be succeed.
In my mind there was always a question, how did he do it? As I was visualising everything from point blank,he has ability to sell things at any price he wanted what he acquired gradually from past 20 years. He doesn't abuse with consumer. He did it with workers.He had to became so. Let me tell you a story.

A plough man says to his cow ," buddy walks." He doesn't listen to him. He tries to go off track.Then he repeats the same words but the result is same. At last when he keeps a stick in his hand and says, " Ash..le left,... right" with hard beating from behind. The cow now don't go off track and thus the works of plough man is done.
The man does the same think to his workers to get the job done but after work he is different person with a good heart.
His success is because over the 20 years,he built up a massive customer base. You may have money , you may have quality to manage a business but the most important thing is you need buyers of your good quality product. Building huge customer base is not a joke. It needs time , hard work and the honesty of course.
Hive perspective:
The same goes for hivers also: Building friendships engaging with people on and off chain, keeping patient as nothing comes over the night.

Daily reading others' post and trying to write good or bad will make you a habitual blogger gradually and then days will come, you will be writing anything without pushing yourself hard.The same as the man has been doing for 20 years. So long time!! We can make impact in one year.Think about the people who are here from the begining.They took 4-5 years and they had hard time doing so. But we have support from the begining of our journey on hive.So there is no way of disappointment.
Everyone on this planet is living a better life than everyone's ancestor.Because possibilities , oppertunities are always better than that of a generation ago.We should always think positive and spread it everywhere.
I hope you enjoyed my article today.
Thanks you so much for bearing me till end.
Have a great day.
