Chocolates at Warehouse Prices

Hi all!

I've been a great lover of chocolates all my life (my students should know that best!).
Anyway I've a contact that sells chocolates at rather cheap prices... teams may be interested to buy in bulk and repackage them for sale at the Pushcart Challenge.

Let me know if any of the teams are interested to take this on!

Consignment of Converse products

I have sourced for a possible consignment of Converse products. The person-in-charge is willing to let us have the goods first and pay for it after the end of the competition, based on what we have sold.

The catch is you will have to go down to meet this supplier to discuss the terms (in Jurong). She is an associate of mine and it would be a great learning experience for you to talk to her.

Any teams interested in taking this on? Let me know ASAP!

Brainstorming for Ideas

I hope you all have spent the past few days thinking of ideas for your pushcarts!

My suggestion is that all four teams work on different areas so that we do not end up eating into each other's profits!

Areas that we might want to explore could be :

1. Clothes
2. Accessories
3. Prepackaged food
4. Any other suggestions?

Please post your suggestions and we shall discuss this further as we go along.

Welcome RS Entrepreneurs!

Hello Riversideans!

Congratulations for taking part in the RP Pushcart Challenge and undergoing your (first?) experience with Entrepreneurship! Running a business is never easy and I can attest to it (I ran my own business for 5 years before joining the Riverside family). Nevertheless it provides an opportunity for us all to learn more than what textbooks can ever teach us! Through riding all the challenges that you may face in setting up your pushcarts, I'm sure you all will gain loads of wisdom and begin to see life in a different perspective!


This blog has been created for all of us to post comments and questions that we may have during our preparations. Please feel free to discuss any issues you may face!
