Mint your way

"A person earns 1.5 lakhs a month".

This is a normal statement and might make one wonder whats this about. This would be the first thought. Now I say that this post is about one such person and your immediate thinking about the person would be as a professional. If not for recession many would have been dead sure I was speaking of a software professional who worked hard to achieve this. But if these were the thoughts that crossed your minds then you were entirely wrong. Speaking of a software professional would also remind the long days of work, busy schedule etc.. waiting in the the store. Now the person I am speaking off happens to be no such professional, but a simple layman.For people who have thought of a professional life to be the way to earn here is a small story, no an example set by someone would sound better I guess, to show that innovation and creativity can bring achieve wonders.

I am speaking of a place at Manglore wherein there is a simple sandwich stall. Its nothing big and dashy, but a normal stall. The stall opens up at four in the evening and by five thirty at the max the stall is closed as the products are all sold out (I believe the timings are right).  The style with which he goes about preparing it is a sight worth watching. He does it with such simplicity which I am sure if we tried, would either lead to some injury or else we will mess up everything. I am sure anybody who watches it will be impressed. The quality is just too good to speak about. At the first glance it looks as simple as the stall but have it and you will realise you were wrong. 

Now eating it if you just give a little thought about his business you will find out what I am speaking about. Lets assume he gets 25 packets of bread daily, which am sure he does. Each packet can produce say 12 sandwiches. So that makes it 300 sandwiches/day. (12*25 = 300) His selling price/sandwich is Rs.20 so the revenue earned per day would be 6000 rupees. Lets cut of his expenses say 1000 rupees/day. So that leaves an amount of 5000 rupees a day as profit. Taking a step ahead, we assume his stall rent for a month would be 10,000 rupees. So the net profit per month would be (5,000*31 - 10,000 = 1,45,000) around 1.5 lakhs a month!! More than any average working person. And all that in just a few hours work!!! 

It wouldn't require a great deal of thought to realise that he would do something in the mornings too. So you can just imagine how good is he doing... It is a clear sign showing that if you are dedicated towards what you are doing, even a simple job can earn you a fortune...
