  • 6. Young Entrepreneurship w/ Amooni Raid

     let me tell you a bit about ayman. He is like the youngest entrepreneur. I know, like he amazed us like about all of his work and projects.


    Yeah, so I'm ayman. Uh, commonly known as a Mooney here and there via, um, currently 18 years old.
     slowly but surely I built a pretty good client base. But then, uh, yeah, I mean, I reached a peak level where I was ready to expand. Uh, but then, uh, I traveled to Germany and that kinda slowed down until now two years after two years, I'm back. And I'm slowly building that up again.


    And that, that tells me. A lot about him and the way he thinks positively in that manner. And I really liked that. Yeah, that's true. I kind of forgot about the whole situation happened, but you know, uh, I think you got to get, take these opportunities now special everybody's working for cheap. And so I'm kind of taking that jump that.

    You know, a whilst that comes for me is like, I'm going to do this. Uh, I normally take them smudge, but because, because of the current situation, I'll take half of that and I'm like, yeah, bro, all day, every day. So for, for your restaurant idea, what's the concept, what's the idea, what's it all about? Yeah. So I'm going to say how I kind of came up with it.

    So, you know, when I came back here, it was in the middle of Corona. When I came back from Germany. And, you know, I went through the whole quarantine procedure and everything for two days in a hotel. Yes. But I mean, when I was in a hotel, I was just walking around the room and I was like, Oh, let me open up a restaurant.

    And so taking that idea, and then I started coming up with concepts. I went around with a few concepts, but I stuck with the concept of pizza and beer because I saw that it was kind of missing in the market. There are a few, but, uh, you don't really have good pizza. That's important about that. Yeah. So I came up with the concept, you know, a chill place, have a good beer, have a good pizza.

    And then, uh, yeah, it's called the Fern. I called it the Fern and yeah, that's the concept. Cool, cool. It's a nice concept. And there's a lot of people might be interested in that. And the thing is that you do a, like an. Research and market research on how, how many people are interested in that and, or like, did you plan, how did you plan the idea?

    It's always important to have the spirit for the entrepreneurial spirit for starting your project, but might be, what more important is to, for you to plan it, to plan everything in and have the idea written down your business model written down. So you have everything in mind. So since we see a lot of like, there's.

    Especially in the restaurant business, there's the failure rate is very high and it's really important to plan out what did you do for that part? Yeah, of course. Uh, so I normally, when I, whenever I start a project, you know, I get the idea and then there is this excitement, you know, you go, you're very excited.

    I immediately open a one note, one note sheet, if you know, when I use one note and I just put all the ideas I have. And then I slowly start planning and going through all the ideas. Now, once I chill out or the excitement is gone, I actually can start really thinking, is this feasible? Can I do this? Do I have the money for it?
