My First Business Depression

 I woke up sad, this isn't something new but unlike other times l know the reason for my pain.

It started yesterday, l made the biggest loss. This was my first time and it's something one never hoped for. 

l got back home from a stressful and annoying adventure and when l went to the shop to get credit card l saw the left-overs and not just the leftover, l got client feedback (the buns have so much groundnut oil in it) and it hurts.

Though l blame me for making more when the market has been shaky, l do send out 50 and they get sold and l and made 40, and 2 remained, and l did 30 and it remained and yesterday l decided to do more and did 38 (28 was sold and 11 were leftovers). That's my biggest loss yet still pray it's the last.

Sequel to the feedback, I've gotten the same feedback from a woman and another who said she liked the oil. It's confusing you know, one person says l like it, and others are saying otherwise and you're making this for them. So which should you do? 

Well, l wanted less oil, because it means l won't need to buy oil every time🤣🤣. I won't spend much and that's what l want.

So every morning when l make buns l try to finger out what doing wrong, do l add too much this or that, could this be the reason? Though l suspect YEAST is the problem, l have this voice that screams it's the YEAST, but l need the yeast, l feel it helped with the round shape and it helped it rise.

But today was different, l made 20, l added very little yeast, the shape isn't as cool as l want it to, I tried not to add more and when l felt I've gotten a shape l can with, l noticed something, the one's l fried latter was taking in more oil.

Not just the buns, one of the girls at the saloon asked "don't l include ginger in my zobo"? I usually put in a right amount and she believes that l should put more ginger but another girl kicked against it. She likes the zobo just the way it is.

Business is breathed-taking. One minute you feel you understand the market and the next everything is crashing down.

I think food business is one of the hardest because people have different taste buds and they want to decide how the food should be prepared (what should be included and taken out).

Finance

Finance, I can never understand how this isn't growing 😅😂, l didn't start with so much money but l can't track if I'm making any gain (but looking at my financial status we can all agree that I'm not)

I'm not mad about this because l expecting to start making money soon but the major problem is "l include personal money into the business and can't track the money, l can't get it out rather l keep putting in personal money. 

Please can someone tell me this will stop soon?

What Happens When we Attach Pain

  We know people that are currently in a toxic relationship, you’ve heard them talk about leaving the relationship but they never leave. Maybe they are in for financial benefits? Or perhaps it’s just love? And what about those people that hate their jobs but won’t quit? Why complain when they know what to do? If we give ourselves enough reason to hate someone we deeply love, we will wake up one morning and we are filled with hatred towards that person likewise if we want to fall in love with someone. What changed? “Enough reason to back up their decision” They haven’t convinced themselves with good enough painful reasons as to why they should leave. They only think of the pain they will derive after they leave. If the pain of leaving is greater than that of staying, they will stay. We weigh options and go for the less painful one. Remember when you thought you would die when your ex broke up with you? Look at you now doing just fine. You’ve convinced your heart with bitter feeling...

6 Type of Friends or People To Avoid

  Those who will never apologize. They can never say they are sorry. Those who make a mistake then blame you or someone else for their mistake. They would claim it was something you did that led to their action. They can’t accept responsibility.  Those who commit an error yet insist that they are still correct. I'm not sure if it's due to ignorance or a constant desire to be right.  Those who pretend they really want to help but behind your back, they are actually the ones declining your offer. They will give different ideas on ways to try, encourage you that you’re the best but won’t give you a chance People who hold back praise and badger but berate you when you fail. They shield your 99 good then share your 1 bad. If anyone is exhibiting any character you love and admire and sincerely want it to continue, then never cease to tell them, pride them, etc. Selfish people: the truth is we are all selfish, we want good things to happen to us. However, we can’t be oblivion to...

Mental Health is a Priority So I Quit

                                                                GettyImages:cnythzl There are certain toxic traits that one can endure and there are some that shouldn't be heard of. That staff endure certain treatment doesn't mean it is right.  I recently quit a new job when I had none to fall back on. I have never done that before. I was so excited about the job and the opportunity to learn a new skill since I didn't have experience (cold calling) and I said hey we got this we are going to learn and be the best. But the leaders are toxic. I don't know which is worse the floor manager or the overall boss.  But I'll go with the floor manager because he downgrades people during meetings and every question asked is answered incorrectly and laced with abusive words.  For example: A colleague not been up to a month on t...
