Had a meeting with the city business collective/association. as part of city promotions they'll be putting my product in a nation wide sales catalog (online and printed), their take is 20% which is exactly what I planned for in my budgeting. (EDIT: current price per gram is 15yen. 100g bottles = 1,500 yen. -10% tax, -20% store cut, -8~10% bottle+label) Honey bees are absolutely everywhere the last few weeks! been great for marketing/instagram photos. The neighbor to my office keeps telling me people are showing up at her door thinking she is the beekeeper wanting to buy honey. That's great and not so great at the same time for a variety of reasons! haha. poor old lady, she just wants to sit in her garden and drink some tea in peace. (her garden is incredible.) Not sure I have the budget for it without borrowing from family, but I'm considering buying 723 meters squared of land. It's an abandoned rice field that is connecting one of my plots of land anyways. + easy expansion + prevent a farmer from using chemicals next to my bee hives. ー money & taxes ー can't use the land until at least next year. ー rice field, so it likely has very poor drainage which will greatly limit the type of plants and trees I could plant if I want to do more than just place bee hives on to the plot.

I stopped dicking around. I sold about half of my supply. I had to make some more. I made ~$300 this past week. I have reinvested or will be reinvesting most if not all of it back in. I’ll be expanding my production capabilities and will be adding one or two more products with a quicker pathway to market. This has really proven to me that if i just do it and quit making excuses, that i have a real opportunity here. With a little marketing/advertising i should be able to easily make $1000+ a week within the year(again assuming i don’t dick around). Also, i have a neighbor who owns a business. He seems to be interested and might be taking me under his wing a bit. But we’ll see.

Hey guys, Ever since my previous iterations of other ideas I made a new project and pushed it to where I can be able to publish and monetize it. And so here it is. This is an app that caters to one of the niches that I favor. Check it out if you want to. My published app: https://discover-yourself.onrender.com/

Just how Bo talks about infiltrating politics to have influence over the direction of your country, ai engineering must be infiltrated as well to at best create preventative measures, at worst solutions. https://youtu.be/wBtr8iv7onA?si=4ghHHnpxVm1ye06A
