Movie Shop Business

@Tommy Lee Sparta and other knowledgeable talkers come here.

I have this son who is clearing forth form in a month’s time. He loves movies, and was thinking of setting up a shop for him. All I have is some space within the estate.

Guide me, like a two-yr-old kid, on how I can make the plan a reality. As in, what do I need, where to get them movies, survival tips, and everything else I need to know.

Sandesana.

Bad idea.

Aviator, if you really had a son, you’d ask the boy to do this research rather than set it up for him. It will make him better invested in the business.

@kijanamrefu amekujibu…Someone who cleared 4th form is in his late teens or if he repeated nursery school four times like @old monk then…Anyway help him setup (financially) but make sure his input is more than 80% that way he will “own” the business and not have that “a doing this for mommy” attitude.

Well, the boy isn’t really street-smart. I however get the point- he needs to own the idea.

What would you advise I do to keep him from impregnating the domestic technician?

The good thing is you are teaching your son to be financially independent and other skills learned from business at a very young age. Big up

Why do you doubt that I have a son? I have two sons FYI. And a daughter.

Instead of starting shop from the onset, get him an attacho at a movie stall hapa town to learn the ropes. Let him be paid 4k a month (you can pay the movies guy that amount then he pays your son); standard working hours and has to abide by rules etc. Akichelewa anasomewa; akiharibu DVD anakatwa 30 bob. With his 4k let him cater for fare and lunch. Observe how he copes with this and make your decision from here. If he comes home saying “mum, leo I sold 57 DVDs za movie noma imetokea” or “we bought a new core i7 16GB RAM comp that chomas a DVD in 43 secs flat” jua he’s interested. If he quits, or often gets to work late, or has bad attitude tafuta mpango ingine.

Parenting is like working in a lab (like @Unicorn) with petri dishes of selective media, not knowing which will grow or which will be sensitive to a certain antibiotic.

Excellent.

aviator, your son loves watching movies not selling them. maybe he has a totally different idea or worse none at all. If you are close talk to him about what he would like to do but don’t suggest anything, but make him understand that you don’t expect him to stay at home idle. he just might surprise you.
kama hana idea punguza wafanyi kazi wako wa ng’ombe uweke kijana, or give him a portion of your land and tell him that’s where he will get his pocket money. that’s what my old man did after I cleared high school

would not advocate for movie biz, peleka yeye shule. :rolleyes: my take.

this should be after the holiday.

kabiashara kadogo si kabaya akingoja ma results ya kukeep yeye occupied. otherwise atakuwa tu kwa base madree na pombe ndio zake…and that my friend is how you lose a son. akienda cole ama campo ataendelea tu nazo

hii pesa ya biashara ndogo ndio ticket ya madre na kapombe, unless kijana yuko focused mbaya:D
