Recently, we had Shirley Wong who shared with us her idea of a Hot dog outlet. Following which, we had supportive feedback from Lily Ho on the different licences, Tim on tenancy agreements and Guest on type of flooring to be used. Last year, we had a session on small business ideas, and we had participation from 28 members. Last year, some members ventured into the idea of an internet cafe along Holland Road.<\/p>\n
I feel we should keep the small business ideas moving. As you see from my earlier comments, I am a firm believer that SilverHairs should continue to maintain their SilverHairs years physically and mentally active, while still able to financially support the many years ahead.<\/p>\n
Of course, there are also many SilverHairs who treasure their retired and non-working lives, and would dread the idea of doing any business. 30 years of working is enough. At the same time, there are business risks, and parting with hard earned money after 45 years can be an equally dreadful idea. One SHC member with experience in financial accounting for small business wrote to me last year, saying running a F&B cafe is a sure failure.<\/p>\n
I am more optimistic. What do you think?<\/p>\n
