just an update from de'shopz

We've planned to renovate this shop since the first time we took over the business, but then until now, we haven’t done anything yet ahhaha, we always said “ok, we’re going to renovate this Saturday” but then we postponed it again and again and again, there are so many reasons beyond that, (my hubby got sick, we had to get the tools from whoever has it, etc etc) it wasn’t as easy as I thought.

I thought, we only need to change the floor, move the fridges, clean up everything, and we can do it asap! But the practical is wasn’t that easy. It’s easier said than done!I want to get it done as soon as possible, because if we haven’t renovate the place yet, I can’t make a flyer, (do marketing stuff), I can’t increase the entire prices etc etc.

Coz what I want is, I’ll make a flyer, give it to people, put it in their letter box, and then when they come, they will see something different, and they will think “mhmm, under new management, that’s rite, it’s getting better and better now” that’s what I want.

So far there are some customers who showed their attention to this shop ( and i thank God for these people), sometimes they asked me: “are you going to renovate this?” and I said “ yeah, we want to renovate this, change the floor, put tables there, etc etc” and they replied “oo ok, yeah that’s very good, u can make this like a coffee shop, it would be very good”

Or some of them said this to me: “How’s the business goin so far? Good?”And I said: “yeah so far so good ehhe” and he replied: “that’s good, this shop is a nice shop, long time ago this shop was very busy, but because they kept changing hands to hands, the business slowly go down, and you can improve it again. I replied “thank you, sure I will improve this shop again, soon”

Praise de Lord, since we took over this business, until now, our sales is increase, at least we reached standard ++ we tried our best to improve this shop little by little, slowly but sure. And really, it’s only by His grace.

My motto is: “do the best, He’ll do the rest” “Work smart, pray hard”
“Work as u are a steward/manager, not the boss” why? Because sometimes when u think u are the boss, you can easily get stressed, you will think “how can this happened? What should I do? Why the sale doesn’t increase as what I expected?”You always think you are the only person who responsible for all of that issues. And you become stress.

But if you work (think) like a manager or steward, you will work hard but then you always depends on the boss. If something happened, you just report it to your boss, and your boss is the one who solved the problem.That’s what I did, I always think Im only a manager at that shop, who’s the boss? My J.C is my boss. If everything doesn’t go smoothly, He’s the only one who can solve the problem, so I don’t worry about anything. :D

Well, we did a little bit of renovation by move all the fridges from kitchen area to the confectionary area. Coz we need to clear up the space in kitchen area. (Since we want to change the floor) yesterday I tried to stick the floating floor together, I like to do that hey! Hihih its like making a puzzle
