Exhibit 4. Weaknesses
I honestly don't have the food intelligence (FQ). I watch all these cookery recipes, but it's just too difficult for me. It seems so complicated. I can draw though. I'm good in some areas. I think sports, I'm okay. But with food, I'm very weak. I need to work on my food intelligence. I believe I can make a great chef. I love brisket, I can do a BBQ joint and sell brisket and give it to my family and friends for free..
Also, I can't dance, at all. I can't fake dance, it's very sad and ugly. I can't sing. I can't drive really well. I can't drive a motorcycle. I can't play any musical instruments. I tried the guitar, as I love electric guitars, but I can't do it. I can't even play a piano. I can barely code in Python. Hacking is a lot easier. You just need to know how to use Nmap or Metasploit framework and that's it -- easy.
Hehe I was googling how much Aaron Franklin makes in his BBQ restaurant. I think he charges $20 per pound of brisket, and he does 10,662 pounds per week = $213,240 revenue per week. Close to $852,960 a month. $10,235,520 per year. He also does 1,823 pounds of ribs, 1,200 pounds of sausages, etc. I think I can do well, but I'll try make my future restaurant "Pirate Bay" a benchmark for all restaurants in Sri Lanka.
I'm good at business. I read a lot, I talked to a lot of people, I made very serious mistakes and I got very, very lucky. I haven't closed a single deal. But I'm having fun. Business isn't about money. It's about value and enjoying the road to riches. It's about having fun for me. Without it being fun, there's no point. Business is my religion.
I think although I'm bad at food. I can keep trying. Aaron Franklin was terrible at first. He kept trying. BBQ is my favourite food. There's no BBQ restaurants in Sri Lanka. There's a Smokies in Moratuwa -- who offer 8 hour brisket, there's a Bavarian, but those aren't the type I'm going for. I'm thinking 12 hour cook time foods.
I'm thinking Michelin star business. BBQ is an art and science, it's engineering. I love it. I think it's a great hobby for me. I think I'll succeed. I just checked, you can preorder Aaron Franklin's BBQ. Plus, it's $25 per lbs of brisket, $22/ pork ribs, $19/ sausage, $22/ pulled pork, $19/ Turkey. That's $266,550 per week in brisket, or $1,066,200 per month or $12,794,400 per year.
