However in 2002,when I was a complete tailor at that time my maternal uncle inspired me to initiate business because my job experience was only about 6-8 month. How much problems you faced in your business life? I had to face a lot of problems during my business life. These are given below chronologically mentioned. After starting business his uncle left him. At that time he was in a fix because he did not know that, according to the season what types of product he should produce & where he sold it.
He was a small entrepreneur thats why one kinds of terrorist disturb him regularly at that

time no business holder help him besides family.

Another great problem was monthly weekly paid the salary of labors. If he should not sell

his product to the market then how will be paid the salary. Thats why sometimes he paid the salary from his family. The greatest problem he had no market, he was new in the market with new product thats why he had to sell the product outside the market or existing market. Do you remember when your business in a bad situation & why? Yes! Thank you this is very good question, in 2004, when he could not find a market in his reasonable area. At that time he was interested to sell his product in existing market. He also sold his product in various markets such as Rangpur, kustia, naogong etc.When he was dealing business with existing customer at that time his business had no improvement. And when he finished his business with existing customer that time he had to count huge amount of loss. He through that, when the business should improve that time he was in loss.
