Brilio.net - Even though it is said that each person's fortune is regulated by the Almighty, without effort, your fate will still not change. Even so, no effort is instant. With confidence and hard work without giving up , your efforts will definitely not betray the results.
Failure is something that almost certainly happens to everyone. Even though you are optimistic, failure in business always has the potential to occur. However, if you keep getting up even though you always fail, that is what will make success come to your life.

Mahesa also experienced this. At the relatively young age of 26 years, he threw away pride and laziness and focused on selling street vendors. With only a simple cart, he sells a typical Sundanese snack, namely colenak, in Bogor, West Java.
Reported by brilio.net from the Friends of the Kitchen YouTube channel, Wednesday (10/4), the story is so inspiring. From initially having nothing, building a business, being destroyed, then getting back up again until now achieving success.
This man, who has been selling in Bogor since 2016, initially only sold roasted cauliflower using a cart. With his perseverance, now his business is able to grow and he is finally able to open five new cart branches in different locations.

"Keep thinking again, chat with friends, let alone what's being developed. Ooo, there's no colenak here yet," he said in a video on the Friends of the Kitchen YouTube account.
The Colenak merchandise that he opened turned out to be liked by many buyers. As a result he was able to open four cart branches in other places. He can also earn millions of rupiah every day. The income from each cart is different.
"From four carts, sometimes IDR 1.5 million, sometimes IDR 2.5 million, sometimes IDR 4 million," he said.
Mahesa said that the results he has achieved so far are not 'bim salabim abra kadabra'. He admitted that he had been upside down and went through many processes to achieve it.

Even though he is now selling successfully, apparently Mahesa's business has gone bankrupt before. He admitted that he had been completely devastated.
Mahesa revealed the dark times he had experienced. He admitted that he had fallen into online gambling.
As a result of this online gambling addiction, he really fell to rock bottom. His business was destroyed. Unmitigated, his Rp. 80 million was lost due to gambling.
"I've been turned upside down. There have been lots of twists and turns. Once I was ruined, my business was destroyed. I used to have Rp. 80 million in cash that was destroyed because of slots (online gambling)," he said.

At that time he decided to return to his hometown. After being in his hometown for about a month, he then decided to return to Bogor to sell again with new capital.
"We first get rid of negative things and then we can get back up again. The way to get rid of it (online gambling) is to just delete the application," he said.
He also admitted that he was able to become what he is today thanks to the prayers of his parents.
"Without parents' prayers there are no blessings in life," he said.
