Chapter 35 – The First Plan
With the lady's permission, Salimo felt like he owned a small piece of the world. He sat on the floor, opened an old notebook he had received at school, and began to write. It wasn't just a scribble; it was the beginning of his first plan.
On the cover, he wrote in trembling letters: "My Project".
First, he asked himself: "What do I already have?"“
He wrote: time, willpower, a small space in the backyard, and the vivid memory of what he had learned at Quinta Nicy.
Then he wrote: "What do I need to achieve?"“
He listed: fertile eggs or some chicks, feed, an improvised waterer, a feeder made from a tin can.
Finally, he scribbled: "What can I offer?"“
He imagined selling eggs to neighbors, raising and reselling chicks, or even fattening chickens for parties. He wasn't sure yet, but he knew the important thing was to start.
He closed the notebook with a smile. He realized that the simple act of organizing his thoughts made him feel stronger. The dream was no longer just a distant cloud. Now it had lines, words, and form.
Practical lesson for the young reader: Before starting any business, take a notebook and answer three simple questions:
What do I have?
What do I need?
What can I offer?
You Can: A plan written in an old notebook is more powerful than a thousand dreams floating in the air.
