Here's his story:
Hello. My name is Segundo Antonio Angulo Alvares, I am a young man, 27
years old.
All my life I have tried to have my own business and help my parents’ family.
Iquitos is a beautiful city but nevertheless it has very little opportunities
for young people. The most beautiful thing
was four months ago when in my church brother Pedro Reategui came announcing
that there were classes for self-reliance. A sincere desire awoke in me to
learn how to manage my finances and to start a business so I can get out of
poverty. “Finally,” I told myself “finally I will become a business man and
entrepreneur”. That’s why I made myself the goal to attend the classes every
week and to learn from them. I learned how to keep accounting records and they
committed us in class to save and I also made that a personal goal, I also learned
how to analyze my profits and losses and to calculate my equilibrium (break
even) point. That’s when I got excited to start my business of selling and
raising chicken.
In Iquitos for the 24th of June we celebrate the
largest holiday called the “Fiesta de San Juan” and that’s when I put the goal
to sell chickens I raise. I did the same for our Independence day celebrations.
For me it went surprisingly well. I started with 100 chickens and I made a net
profit of 1200 soles (about 462$USD) in 45 days. And now I am raising 500
chickens to be able to increase my income. I just want to thank you, thank you
for the miracle that you have brought into my life. Now my brother is attending
the classes with me and we are raising chickens together. We keep records of
our variables costs and strive to find providers of chicken feed who sell at
the lowest price and we look for clients who can pay us well for our services.
Now I know how to administer my business and I hope I keep doing well and that
I can become the largest seller of chickens in the city. I am going to work
hard to achieve it. Again I thank you for coming here and for changing my life.
