My store in real life, or reflections on the usefulness of my endeavors

Today go to bed with an incredible feeling of victory.

"I have my own store," I say it with pride, with awe, a little fear.

For three years I longed for it. Not just lived and worked. I had a clear goal — to open your shop. And now, tomorrow is a new day, tomorrow will need to seek new achievements, reflect on mistakes, correct and improve created.

First steps

Morning on festivals most of the working time. In a few hours need to get to put a tent, tables, display product, compare price, stick price tags.

And here, sitting, watching people, drinking coffee brewed immediately on a camp burner, meet with vendors and guests of the festival. Very different and interesting people. On a nearby pole sits a huge Raven, glances at me with one eye. To treat it, unfortunately, impossible — shy.

Festivals bring about 20-30 thousand per trip. More money does not work — the scope of the machine allows to accommodate her much good. And visitors come here not to no money, but they spend more on beer. My goal is to attract people, to meet them. And supply the things. This year was a young couple who forgot their sleeping bags.

Achievements

They say that every person needs in this life to achieve something. "What have you done for hip-hop?" — I asked myself. Almost all your life, you are engaged in tourism and tourism didn't do anything.

Yes, you help people, you lead them to a fair trade. You select the product, you talk about it, you're not afraid to say about this tent is bad and good about this. But this is not enough.

When I invented the collapsible bowl, me no one laughed. Just didn't believe in this idea. Unbelief did not break me.

Two days later it turned out that he invented it not me. In the Us military has long used a similar device, and in Russia, some enthusiasts do this kind of thing from DSP.

But it did not break me. I have developed a device, made drawings, built the probe, then ordered parts in factories. The first batch sold out in a month.

Now I can proudly say I gave the Hiking folding toilets.

Victory

A few days will be a big travel all-around — Crocodilia.

The organizers — the good guys. The participants — wonderful people. I know them for two years and sponsor of the project. Among the awards given to the winners of my prizes.

They do a good job. I warms the soul, I help them.

Dream

About your dream I wrote in previous posts. My dream store with meadow. Square tents. In the store I ID Valera. In the middle of the shop a round table. And free coffee with the stew.

A store, more like a travel club of the Palace of pioneers, I have yet to do failed.

But I managed to make room, in a quite adequate place. Quite adequate for the price. And make it not so comfortable, but in General, even nothing.

By the way, you will need to remember to bring mannequins and a cover for trying on clothes.

Reality

Out of the Internet into reality was not easy.

Finding accommodation was difficult. In some places asked quite so exorbitant 100-200 thousand for a tiny room. In other was not so simple. One burly man demanded to use his cash. I soon said goodbye.

When it didn't have a choice, suddenly he received a good offer from TTS Tanners.

Now I have on the shelf recently read the book Kotina "And botany doing business". The protagonist of the first own shop was opened on the sixth floor. I was more fortunate — I came out in fourth.



The first visitors were local. The first purchase was out of the box. We haven't laid out any product, and does not put the racks.
Then came acquaintances. They have long waited for this meeting. Wished all the best, looked the goods, exchanged experiences and impressions. Went summer to see was sad. I couldn't even help with the layout we saw in the summer.

Then pulled up, passers-by and casual. In front of the store a section of jewelry. Men assent wives when choosing jewelry and through the glass doors with sad eyes looking at hanging on my left backpacks. I smile and leave them a business card. The time will come specifically to me.



When we finally settled, I was approached by a young guard. "Finally, at least one desired store, in this place," he said.

I guess I'm still doing the right thing.
