You should concentrate yourself on the day job that you have. Save as much money as possible then go for business full time.

The best advice has been given by @am_eniey. Unless you have family/relative or friends who supports you financially.

do you think, being over concerned/worried about every detail will actually stop you from doing anything? Sometimes it isn't the savings, money, etc. Sometimes it just boils down to courage and determination.

Not all businesses gain profit in the beginning stage. It's just a stage of introduction and learning. BTW, have more than RM10k to be on the safe side.

For my projection RM 10k might be enough to go through 3 months. Since she is just buying sotong to fry and sell. How much sotong cost; I mean, seriously? Rental for a stall estimate to range between RM RM 20-RM 30 per day. Worker is RM 15-RM 20 per day?

But having more than RM 10k is good. nod.gif

Maybe not so highly cost of equipment but some SLR cam, Tripod and lightings. Some of it will search for second hand.
also some computers. So i guess i need to push up the cost of equipment to RM 30-40K on the safer side.

I have no business on my own and also no experience in any business. But it seems to me your business need quite a lot of capital start up (more than 100k). Have you conduct study/research on how much you can earn? I don't know how much usually photo shop earn but the risk here seems to big.

i second on that comment from hkd229... big spendings on a saturated market. risk is high so is it worth the risk? unless its more of a hobby than business? many friends who 'play' DSLRs have that goal of being pro photographers... not sure whether they are successful in earning from that niche or not...

I dont c anything wrong with that.
just have more sales plan
I know not much people earn a lot doing things that they like. but I also know a lot of people doing things that they dont like and still dont earn big bucks.

since you got the tool, do more than just inhouse lo. company dinner, advertisement, functions, events, etc, etc.

I think nowadays if you target those mui mui (18-20+) taking "Youth Photos" better. Offer better rate. (Student ma). Dont do anything funny in the dark room can aledi

haha.. yeah sure. smile.gif just my opinion. if that camera is gonna cost you 30k, and you do cheap youth photos... whew.. not worthy investment in my eyes. Well its just my opinion, no harm meant. smile.gif

you must always differentiate business and hobby. business must make money. hobby may make money.

Just go and do it. No need to think so much. Some people don't like to drink green tea. Some people don't like to eat durian. No need to worry about somebody who don't like. There is always somebody out there don't like something.

It depends on what you recruit them for purpose. For me, I dont classify the CHEAP to recruit a good labour. I wiling to pay if they serve their job good. Perhaps you should try out sabah & sarawak workers. I have a lot business & contractors friends that recruit this people (From 1k-2k range). They are strong and hardworking. Just treat them as a HUMAN & part of your family in your company. I was suprise when a business friend of mine told me he gave his worker(sabahan) which work for 6 years at  salary 2k.

Regarding on the salary of East M'sia. This is real truth as what I am observin here in S'wak.
