Sari-Sari Store Owner Keeps Going Despite Three Business Closures
A lady sari-sari store owner shared her business experience despite failing three times and proved that persistence pays off.
Recently, Gee AG, a Facebook user, shared her journey of running a small store despite facing three major setbacks. The post garnered various reactions from the online community.
Gee first opened her sari-sari store with high hopes, but she struggled financially and fell into debt due to lending obligations. With the help of her partner, she managed to pay off what she owed, but the business had to close.
Determined to start again, she reopened her store. However, another challenge arose when she became pregnant. Her pregnancy was delicate, and she needed to prioritize her health and her growing family. This led her to close the store a second time.
Despite these challenges, she refused to give up. Recently, she decided to open her store for the third time. However, regaining customers was difficult since she had been closed for a long time.
Gee worried that her business wouldn’t recover, but she remained hopeful. To her surprise, things started to improve. She now encourages aspiring business owners to take risks and believe in themselves.
Challenges will always be part of any business, but with patience, faith, and hard work, success will come in time.
