I had to explain this to my girl. She was spending $200 to make $300 all day selling candles at the farmers market. Sometimes you make a profit just not enough profit vs time and energy spent.

They arent making much of a profit. Because even if they are left with $500 at the end of the month (after paying personal bills and buying inventory) that $500 should be adding up monthly. Its July now an they should have $6K in business bank account. They are living paycheck to paycheck and that's why they have all these sides hustles.

I love how Dave coaches. This is definitely giving ghetto but he is asking questions in a way that makes them think. They know it’s ghetto but they want to be better. He’s allowing them to figure it out on their own. It’s giving of you give a man a fish he’ll eat for a day, but if you teach a man to fish he’ll eat for a lifetime. Keep doing the Lords work Dave 💕🔥

This is what people need to know working and being successful in the food industry is extremely hard. It’s taxing on the body, the pockets and the mind. Just bcz you can cook doesn’t mean you should go into the food industry. The food industry is very overhead heavy and there’s always waste if you are following OSHA, food and safety guidelines accurately.

This felt like that math class that I kept going to sleep in. I would understand the lesson right away and get the assignment done, but there was always that 1 student or group of students that just couldn't comprehend the math and how to apply it to the lesson. 😅 If you only have $500 in the business account after expenses, without taking any money out for yourself, that business is not profitable. Put another way, you cannot pay your employees. Technically, you're the owners/founders but since you're doing the work you're also the employees, without pay.

I feel like she didnt really understand the question of waste, I own a restaurant and I know it is impossible to prepare food without some waste, vegetables have seeds or core elements that are unusable, which has to be factored in.

@yettie2fly 13 күн бұрын

David, I hope this was an eye-opening experience for them to see what they have accomplished so far and what they're looking towards doing in the future. I'm not the best at math, but this is what I factored. If they make lets say, $5000 every month, then they spend $1800 in "expenses" that's leaving $3200 left. If they only had $500 left, then that'd be spending an additional $2700 in other expenses. Which is what they would need to figure out what that money is going towards, if the initial $1800 was to fund necessities. If the $2700 isn't being used wisely, then put that in another account and dont touch it.

@Onlygirl1INTHEWORLD1 5 күн бұрын

It seems like it would be good for them to get an accountant to look at the numbers in total and help out there. Also, for the loan, they may want to create / update the business plan. That way they have everything set. Using apps like intuit or an app to keep their numbers recorded somewhere accessible. Hopefully, they can find someone selling a food truck and possibly get it at a lower rate. Maybe a videographer who needs more clients will see the video and can work with them for the content side of the business. All in all, they can definitely make it work. It sounds like a successful food business.

There hasn’t been a guest in the hot seat that has actually put in the word to be 50% or more successful achieving their goals. Majority of the guest are hustlers using the term entrepreneur. A requirement should be having a least 10 to 25 employees understanding, a P&L, balance sheet and etc. This will influence more to pay attention, nobody wants to watch, lazy people to be successful without putting in the work

That ain't no business that's a hustle. This some ghetto sht . Aint nobody's gonna give you a loan cause you can't show income. Even if they did You'll be upside down with a food truck and a high interest payment. Do it the hood way and take every dime and stash it. @ The very least buy a used food truck or Empty fedex truck and put the work into building one. Pay cash. Otherwise you ain't goin make it. Smh😢
