When someone comes up to me and say, "why on earth made you start this business.(hardware)?" I really don’t know hoe to answer. I have been asked numerous times by friends and custmers alike this stupid question. Like all stupid questions, I give them a stupid answer like, "I like to sell screws mah!" I mean, come on, why on earth does people starts businesses. To make some money of course! I chose the hardware business because it was something I had some fimiliarity with as I have been an electrician and a plumber for the beter part of my life and the amount of hardwares I have bought and the amount of things that I have seen made me quite confident. Furthermore, hardwares are non perishable and doesn’t go out of fashion. So it was a sure-fire business to go into.
However, the last thing in my mind when I started was, the construction sector could dip so badly. When i was at the planning stage, everything was still okay. There were constructions everywhere and I thought at least it would last for another few good years. Alas. I was dead wrong.

maybe you are just in the wrong town. i still see construction blooming in the city centre. i’m kind of in the hardware business too, collections are not that smooth but business still boleh. i can’t imagine p.d. being the hub of construction, so maybe that’s where the problem lies. then again, if you are in kl, you’ll be up to your backside with competition.
