Actually , I was @ a Karaoke bar when I noticed someone Selling Roses to customers. That's when the idea hit me !
Why sell Flowers individually, when I could sell Boquets and perhaps I could make more money ' : )
So, that's when I asked around, and found out that I could buy flowers wholesale and save some money.
All I needed was a Venders licence (since I was always on the move) and I bought some flowers + supplies to make floral arrangements. After a few people saw my arrangements, the word got around.
I didn't really need a store front, so I drove around to all the Clubs, hotels + bars I could find, passed out business cards, and people started to call.
I was able to move into a better place & after that, Started making gift baskets.
