Normally, the previous tenant will charge take over fee for either existing renovation or deposit paid to the management.

Ha, is you again!
In Oct 2008, you asked the forum how to start a retail business and you mentioned about Tg ktg.
In Jul 2009, you posted to say that you love to do pushcart biz.
In Apr 2010, you posted to say that you want to do online biz, asking the forum on how to get started.
In May 2010, you asked the forum if it is profitable to sell kuehs and Nasi Lemak at pushcart.
In Jul 2010, you posted to say you are interested to open a spa!
And today you are back again, asking about clothing retail shop. Takeover $5k means you are taking over that persons' shop for $5k but you need to find out what does that $5k covers - Renovation? Fixtures & Fittings? Stocks? Security Deposit? Rental? and if it is a takeover, how many more months are you allowed to operate i.e. what is the remaining lease period? Do your research, find out what's the crowd/traffic flow at Tg Ktg.

No offence but it appears that you have not taken much action despite the advices given by fellow forum mates. Have you done your research? No point keep asking and not taking any action. If 2 years down the road you still have doubts about going into the retail business (and this is very common among many of us because to go into business requires lots of guts and of course lots of money to burn sure helps ) then perhaps entrepreneurship is not for you, 9-5 jobs can sometimes be better. Save your energy for a better 9-5 job performance bah!

If you are serious about going into clothing retail, my friend has some excess stocks of ladies wears to let go at $10 each, pretty good for new start-ups/fleas/bazzar. If you interested then pm me, I get her to send over the pictures. Good luck!

Xoxo,

I am amazed that you can even remember such detail

xoxoxo

Nothing to be amazed. Just a click of a button and you can see all the postings (3pages) in this forum and it is pretty easy to see who started the thread. I just noted that she keeps asking similar questions so I went back to the previous postings and did a quick summary. This way it is easier to help her because her postings revealed that she is not at all ready to tackle the business world.

I don't understand yr motive XOXOXOX, why must you list down all those, i don't understand why r you so so free to find all those and good memory too, amazing. Move on...i am asking for now not the past, of course i am not forgetting all those ideas, but wanted to open biz badly, really at lost what to do at certain times, is it so wrong to post again here, i am thankful to whoever is very patience to guide me and help. i am hoping someone can help breakthru my confusion

ctcart

yeah you r right, i am not ready, but wanted so badly to be in it, just not sure and confuse but i love really wanted badly but really really i don't know where, how to start, i wanted to open clothing retail shop cos i love fashion, but afraid no biz and don't knwo where, how to get those nice stuff to sell that could sell, and 2nd mind i love to open spa but also at lost, so now i am so lost, all i hope is to hlep me see thru. thank you

xoxoxo

I have no motive and the only reason why I list them down is because it is easier to see the whole picture of where you are currently standing and I am not free but I am trying to help by listing them down your previous questions so that we or those who want to help can take a step back and look at the whole big picture. If you think my words are too harsh and you can't given take criticisms then how are you going to handle your customers next time?

You mentioned that you are "afraid no biz and don't knwo where, how to get those nice stuff to sell that could sell," which is why I asked you if have you done your research? I think quite a few forum mates have made suggestions but it seems like you keep ranting on and on about being confused. Perhaps the one who ought to moved on is you.

So if I suggest for you to either take up some courses so that you learn something about business management to get started or perhaps gain some real life experience by working in a fashion shop (of course bosses will not share everything with you but you will then have learn as much as you can and at least know how to operate a retail outlet), will you do it or will you come back and ask the same questions again? Of course it is not wrong to post again and you can post as many times as you and the administrator like but what I'm trying to tell you is you can be confused for the rest of your life and you can ask the same questions again and again but if you keep doing what you are doing, you will keep getting what you are getting now! Good luck!

ctcart,

I think you are too stress out from work. Perhaps what you need to do is to take a break from your full-time job, sit back and think carefully what do you really want to do, and whether you have the capability and financial ability to start anything. Plan properly and take that very first baby step towards your goal.

This is your cry for help in March this year. http://retailbx.sg/f53/pls-help-4441/ Do you see the problem? Not that I am so free to go searching for your post but I want to highlight the fact that it seems to be the same problem you are facing that didn't seem to be resolved when others have probably already started their online selling.

So have you contacted MyFashionPalace and ShadyOne for their products as mentioned in your cry-for-help thread or even hook up with them to learn more about online selling. If you have not, do consider.

And you want to know more about web-hosting, online selling etc, if you have done your research, you should know that we have someone right here in our pushcart forum who can help. They do web & e-commerce store design and development and I think they also run workshop on Online Business Startup. Try and contact Ultimateworker. You can check out his contact in the BizHub Home - Services for the retail entrepreneur - Online Services section.

ok, I think I've said enough, and have probably pissed you off totally by now but do remember, Pushcart forum is one of the best place where we can meet different people from different walk of life, where we can be learn from one another, but ultimately success or not, it depends on ourselves. We can sit there and dream and dream and dream but our dream will only come true when we wake up and TAKE ACTIONS!
