Asking Small Business Owners in Bali about Money, Tips for Success & more

[@JeanVoronkova]

Do you wanna start a small business in Bali? What are some of your ideas? 😊

[@blackknightbatman2636]

I wanna start ! What do u suggest Jean ?

[@travellingcoffee]

Digital nomad community coffee

[@JeanVoronkova]

Ooh there’s a couple of those in Canggu - they seem to be combined with cowork spaces - and very vibrant! @TRAVELLER COFFEE

[@JeanVoronkova]

@Black Knight Batman I actually still think there’s room for more good cafes to grow successfully esp in lesser populated but still touristic areas like south bali!

[@blackknightbatman2636]

@@JeanVoronkova I'll be there in Dec. ..will definitely chk it out ! Tks Jean !

[@u2ber888]

IMO, it's really important to settle down in Bali for a period of time looking around to assess what business potential available in the surrounding and who are the current and likely future competitors. Knowing your product is not sufficient enough as you need to know who your target market going to be (local vs foreign taste), pricing to suit, promotion thru social media platform, consistency in raw supplies (quality), your value-added services and lastly the local regulation. A substantiated business plan will help you to avoid any pit fall and achieve your set goal (profitability) over time. If you plan to start a hospitality outlets targeting tourists, it can be a hard sell as visitors' stay are short, mobile and likely wanting to experience local cuisine more than the kind of food they can get in their own countries. Tourism is seasonal and also subject to political sensitivity like the new law for unmarried relationship.That does not mean that tourists won't spend their dollars for a change though being expensive than the local ones. I would think a fish & chip, chicken burger stall will be ideal using local catches that suit local tastes as well as foreigners. Sorry, my 2 cents opinion.

Thank you so much, Jean, for making this beautiful video.I just returned from Bali and I felt at home so much, I have been actually waiting on starting a business somewhere in the world and traveling to several places around the world but nothing like how I felt in Bali. I'm working on my business plan and met some local Balinese friends who are managers at a high-end resort in Bali.

[@thecowegg]

You don't need to be a millionaire to be a successful business owner. All you need is lots of passion and hard work.😊 Look at all those happy faces 😊👍

[@JeanVoronkova]

Absolutely! It’s the joy of doing what you really believe in I guess

[@dmtrinar3863]

Do what you love! 😊

[@kianmora6112]

[@dominichill1492]

This is very interesting to hear these people in Bail stories about their success in the country of Bail. Running a business is not easy at all, running a business takes money and commitment. Thank you for another great video Jean. Also I'm happy to see you're beautiful face on KZbin sweetheart

Our dog makes similar sounds when i play violin (high pitch notes/sounds) However the dogs don't enjoy this. We might think they like it and they are singing with us but it's actually quite the opposite. Their hearing is suffering from those noises and they do it to make you stop .If you will get a chance, tell the lady from the coffee shop not to do that. Especially the high pitch sounds,
