I run a small business in my country where I import and sell action figures. There’s this client who keeps asking me about how he can do the same thing I do—where to buy, etc. He’s mentioning that his contract with his current job is ending soon and he wants an additional source of income. Tbf this person has always seemed to have low social skills in the way he asks things but what do i know. I would say im the one with the best know-how in the market right now due to my knowledge of apps, automation, etc. My small business is currently my only source of income. What should I tell him? I want to be polite unlike him lol
"Running a successful business is much more than simply finding suppliers and buyers. Each business is unique based upon the owner.
My business has taken a long time to build up to what it is today. It has been very tough with many pitfalls and the market is very small and difficult to break into.
The best advice to you is to not try to open a business like mine, here.
I do not want to feel responsible if your business was to fail based on anything I would suggest to you as you are very different than I am…"
