... that's a good
! But - for safety's sake - be sure to shut the "stable" doors BEFORE the horsepower

Been there..Done that!! (years ago)
Never again..
You`ll learn.. Just takes time..
At least its not a jeepney.. Those things are getting bloody expensive!
Yep...my mate bought four taxis in Manila.
Ended up near bankrupt.
Even had the newish engines stolen and replaced with high-mileage wrecks when the cars went in for servicing.

As Fred says it takes time. No need to rush into anything Stewart. Plenty of opportunities to make money here if you use yer heid.
Did he actually run the business on a day to day basis?Yep...my mate bought four taxis in Manila.

Have met many a foreigner who starts a business here and it goes bankrupt because they don't actually run the thing properly. Nothing to do with the native population.
Having family work for you in the Philippines is often the ruin of a good business plan here
the motorcycle she bought for only £150, from her money not mine, i think she got a bargain, for that one its very little risk at all,Been there..Done that!! (years ago)

Lolita has a good head on her shoulders, the doors there is no land to buy for them,
she already has secured other income for herself, other than her job teaching,
for me, i need to create income to pay for my medicine needs ect, if i dont i will be using my savings, i dont want it disapearing like that and nothing to see for it,
Lolita has a good honarable family, to rip me off is to rip lolita off, there isnt one of them would shame the family,besides she will only help those who she knows she can trust,Did he actually run the business on a day to day basis?

as for me the same principle i apply here, will stand there too, a person only lets you down once, i never give them a second chance,
i will tread my path with caution
Sort of ran it himself...in-between barhopping and chasing women.Did he actually run the business on a day to day basis?

He was basically a newbie with money in the bank. The business never got off the ground...probably fortunately for him. He'd even planned to drive one of the taxis himself, in Manila.
Anyway, he learned from his mistakes and has gone on to better things.
Been expat in the Phils for 23 years now. We had a lot of adventures together.
Sounds like you are going to marry a lovely woman Stewart. If you are both on the same page i am sure any business adventures will eventually turn a profit.Lolita has a good head on her shoulders, the doors there is no land to buy for them,

Nothing wrong with trying to help the family

Being skint from the word go was probably an advantage when we moved here from Hong Kong. Couldn't afford to make to many mistakes or i/we might have ended up back in the UK
yes she is one in a millionSounds like you are going to marry a lovely woman Stewart. If you are both on the same page i am sure any business adventures will eventually turn a profit.

helping the family is a 2 way thing, they earn for themselves, i earn from them, both benefit

He blew £25,000 in his first 3 or 4 months in the Philippines, with little to show for it...and that was back in 1990.
He's the guy on the right in this pic...nearest the camera.

The money was blown in Ermita, Angeles and Sabang!
Trying to think of his wife's nameNicki? Last i heard of him he was teaching in Macau and the wife and kids had moved from Puerta Galera back to her home town of Iloilo.
oh ye of little faith, not everyone is the same, but we shall see,
before i do anything, i ask myself , am i prepared to take a risk, i don't do anything without weighing up the pros n cons
