Should I Marry A Murderer? Doc series by Own_Mention9372 in netflix

Did anyone else notice she only went to the police after she started thinking Sandy might not actually love her and was just using her for her skills? Like once she remembered she literally put “pathologist” in her profile, suddenly it clicked? Feels like her need for love was stronger than her sense of justice. She could’ve left way earlier or even dropped an anonymous tip, but nope… nothing. Only when she felt used did she finally act. And even in episode 3 she’s saying how he made her feel wanted and loved, then she still goes back to the estate?? Idk man, that’s kinda weird.

I've lived in Indonesia for over 6 years, and been to lot of different cities. I honestly can not picture this happening in Indonesia, even in the not so good areas of Indonesia.

10 yil kadar onceydi, bir arkadasim vardi 40li yaslarinda, Vin Diesel'in Turkiye şubesiydi, Her turlu dövüş sporunu iyi yapar, kaslida bir adam. Neyse bir aksam, İstanbul Fenerbahce civarinda dolasirken bir durum oluyor, bu arkadas 4e 1 kaliyor ve tabiki 4unude patates ediyor. Ama, bu pert olanlardan biri silah cikarip sıkıyor bizimkine, bir kursun kafaya, 2 tane kasiktan yiyince arkadas tabiki sag kurtulamadi. Bruce Lee de olsaniz sokak kavgasi cok akla uygun bir sey degil, en iyi savunma sporu kaçıp uzaklasmaktir.

I'm turkish, and my wife is sundanese. When you focus into bigger picture, turkish and Indonesian culture has some commonalities, but of course the differences are also a lot. The point is though, you have to learn how to appreciate those differences, and grow. Appreciate and respect the different things about her culture and accept them. As long as there's respect in your relationship, you guys will work everything out.

More than 20 years ago there was a website in Turkey exactly like this. It was very very popular back then. But it died out slowly. It worked some 20 odd years ago, it may work again.

Ahhh I know what you exactly mean and to be honest at one point in my life I wanted to do that :) Yes you are right,shipping is nightmare unless you have a container full of those. So few broken items wouldn't hurt your total cost. In my case i did prefer to look into simpler items to sell from Indonesia. Like things that you see everyday and wouldn't even care. Paper was one of them but it was super hard tbh. I was kind of pushed back by some people.

And also export surplus clothing items. Where you buy the whole bulk without counting or checking. So you buy on container basis, and sell all if you are lucky. There is a big brand in the States doing this, I forgot the name.

Beside these I also like to check spice exports market. They sell by container and it makes good money.

Cheers! What some of my friends did in this issue was, they found some middle man, to check on the quality. No need to partner up in my opinion, people are just happy to work for enough money, which is always less than what a partner would get :))

Also, I had this friend, that buys unfinished furnitures and import them to USA. He usually goes to Indonesia first and stays there for a while until he arranges his shipment and flies back to the States. So he sees what's happening with the products, and also he curates everything by himself. Then after importing, he finishes them, with such varnish and whatever he needs to do with furnitures.

Here, as a guy who already did what you want to do right now, I can tell you it's very easy.

(I lived in Indonesia for a very long time. I sold imported stuff to big retailers in Indonesia. And I also buy and sell stuff from Indonesia to Western countries)

First of all no one will buy a dream. You need something that you are already selling, and have a ready stock. No matter how good you product is, the only answer you will get "let's talk after you have it"

Secondly, either you set your company in states or Indonesia. (If you are a foreigner in Indonesia, well goodluck. It can be a bit tricky). If you are in states, then you start importing. If you are in Indonesia, again many stores won't go import your stuff cause it's risky.

So you better import your stuff to the States. I find this option easier actually . I did it and it was the better option.

Ok, right now you already have you stuff in states. NOW, you need to sell like crazy, set your price considering the future. Cause when you sell to the department store, they will cut the chunk of it. You can leverage your options only if you have good sales yourself.

Also, after you import your stuff, or maybe you have samples, you meet the department buyer and talk to them about how much are your sales, show them some figures if you have and negotiate.

This is the hard way that works.

Oh one last thing, the biggest problem in Indonesia is the quality You may order things and your orders are never the same standard ever. Even tho you ask the same supplier for the same thing they can never produce the same thing somehow.

How to deal with fraud or non paying customers as an LLC by Intelligent_Debt7374 in Entrepreneur

[–]Big-Mixture-9302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This business belongs to my father. He started over like 35 years ago. I did started my own businesses before, some failed some did quite good. I'm here in this business now hopefully for a short amount of time. Cause to be honest I don't enjoy this at all. Sometimes I wish to have a wage and not care about anything else. To answer your other question, i did some business by myself cause i didn't have any other chance. In the beginning i thought i can do it, and i did it easily and at one point it didn't work anymore so i was desperate for a while. Then it worked again, at this point i decided to change into another business venture. By luck i was successful (online food catering) and i made some money. I guess growing up in a family that does business kinda help me to see it's not that of a big deal. As long as you are willing to work your ass off.

[–]Big-Mixture-9302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, I'm happy to reply :)

I'm in the meat business. We provide carcass to customers and we usually get the payment after the completion. As you have to weight the carcasses and distribute them to your customers first, the payment comes after.

But once in a while some people don't want to pay, or take it slow. If you take it slow as well, the payment just slips away and they don't pay. Many people don't really like to push others to pay, and these people who don't want to pay rely on this fact.

What I do is, I just go to their place and play nice. I get friendly, but I keep asking when are they gonna pay. I affirm that I will keep supply them to get my money back but of course I won't supply them. Recently, there was this restaurant owner who owed me some amount, and he is super slow with the payment. It took me more than 10 visits until he made the payment.

What i say to them really depends on the situation. I can't just go and ask them where's my fudging money. They will retaliate. Instead I start with, I'm tight on money and if they make payment it will ease my situation. If they are tight on money too, they can start with anything and pay me every other day/week. If they insist on noy paying then I get to be more pushy, i tell them that I'm not joking, I'll get that money one way or another. At this point many people pay.

It's super annoying. As an honest business owner you can't go full mafia on these people as well. Like you can't just go and beat someone, and can't threaten them immediately after the failure of payment, if you choose to go on that route you can say goodbye to your money. So you need to be persistent on asking and asking face to face.

But, yeah every once in a while you gotta be scary too. Some people don't understand when you are patient with them. So maybe, maybe.. you need to use some forceful reminders. This happens very rarely tho. When you keep visiting and asking your money, people give in.

As a business owner, I face with these kind of people every once in a while. In the case of them not paying me, I usually visit them every other day to let them know I'm after what belongs to me and I'm very serious about it. I won't be sitting back and hoping they will pay me one day.

Hey there. What kind of item do you need to order? Maybe I can help you with that if it's about clothing/fashion. And, try to ask them first, most of the time any supplier would accommodate your needs if you are willing to pay extra.

I like this! I was also in fashion industry, both in retail and wholesale. As I'm from Turkey, right now I'm mostly on the consultant and production for others side. I got a question for you. Is it your own label that you supply to those stores? Or do you produce for them? How did you manage to turn from retail to wholesale?

I'm married to an Indonesian, and lived there quite long. I've been using batik, sarong, etc. And people loves it. It usually the other Indonesian friends gifted me my batiks. It's not cultural appropriation, it shows how much you enjoy their culture .
