This are good motivational stories on hawker being rich.
But how many heard of hawkers that doesn't survive. (devil's advocate here)

Did anyone list down the hard work one puts in to be successful? i.e. basically no life.
Early morning has to rise and go market. After getting fresh ingredients then have to prepare the portions and also seasoning.
Then it's cooking; even at night after closing, have to prepare the seasoning materials for the next day.

It's basically hard work and hardly any rest to be successful.

True, true. I had a colleague who once worked over ten years ago selling fruits. Very early in the morning, he would get up to buy fresh fruit. Then he would spend time chopping them and preparing them. Then he would sell them from his motorcycle-based stall. He claimed that he could earn on average RM6k a month doing this. He had no employees. And that was ten years ago. He gave up however because it took way too much time, he had no holidays at all and it did serious damage to his hands to chop and prepare the fruit. His hands were in constant pain due to the acidic content of the juices splashed on them.
