i have met challenges but what i do is to pick the pieces and move on from where i was but with more care and focus.
i believe in my maker he is the one who has made me to be where i am.

. i make ten dollars from a sack of potatoes after deducting all expenses and in a week i can sell four sacks of potatoes which amounts to thirty dollars from the two years in my business i have been able to double my stock where initially i started with three sacks but now am running two stores each with six sacks.
from my business i have managed to pay my school fees which i pay twenty five percent of the whole amount of fee.
customers always buy from me since i offer sufficient services the quality of my products is good and also i respect them because they are the one who have employed me .
my business has various risks because i deal with a perishable goods but i have maintained the risk by taking the best quality which will move faster and also contact my daily customers to come and pick there orders so i don't stay long with the goods.
