Argument and Debate
Introduction
An individual who has a plan of starting a grocery shop might be changed by the ideas or decisions of another person. Someone may have a bad feeling that the intended location of the shop may not be convenient to attract a good number of customers. Also, someone might have an opinion that grocery shops are not always profitable. When validating these opinions, someone may give a practical example of another individual who had the same idea but failed to establish. In such circumstances, one provides convenient places where the same kind of business can flourish and also provide an alternative type of business in the intended location. Someone who is bound to success can be passionate about why the ideas of starting a grocery shop in the selected area are wrong. Such individuals do exist because they fear failure for a business that is at its initial stages. According to Chen et al. (2009), the success of any business idea must be accompanied by passion, and in doing so, the decisions to be taken must be made by passionate individuals.
One can argue that in starting a grocery shop, sufficient research must be done to ascertain the target customers and the convenience of future expansion. Also, another argument that can convince an individual to change the mind of starting a grocery shop is the availability of the products. The products to be solved must be readily available in that they are close to where they are locally produced. It is useful to agree on such opinions because they are the crucial steps to starting a good business that will conveniently expand in the future. However, certain decisions need to be critically evaluated because they might not be too useful (Chen et al., 2018). For example, the opening of the shop close to the local production is a good idea, but the prices that one will sell the groceries will be minimal. If the shop is opened in an accessible area, but far from the local production, the selling prices will be high to ensure good profits.
