Hollow blocks making business is one of the booming home business in the Philippines, particularly for those entrepreneur who are near quarry areas where the sand resources are sufficient.

This is a very important matter to consider in setting up your hollow blocks business because this will be one of key factor in the success of your blocks manufacturing business.
TIP # 1:
The moment that you put your feasibility to stat this kind of business, include the due diligence of finding a hollow blocks worker who has the heart of taking the job seriously.
Why?
Most often when we start a business we always have this fear of failure specially when we have already started the business. We have the tendency to submit to our fear and we will spoon feed everything to our worker just for them not to turn their back from us, and leave us empty handed.
If you are this type of person then I’m telling you to avoid this.
TIP # 2:
Do a proper background check on the worker that you have employed, I will site a scenario that is is base on my experience that I was able to avoid all untoward problems that happened in other hollow blocks making business owner.
Most of the problems of seasoned hollow blocks making workers here in my place is that they were left with so many advance payments from their previous employers that most of them are hopping from one employer to another because they tend to run away from this advance money obligation. Once you have met a type of this applicant to the vacant position that you have in your business be cautious.
I’m not saying that you don’t give them a chance… I will place my take regarding this in the next tip.
How to a deal with an applicant worker with so much unpaid financial advances from previous employer?
Like what I have mentioned earlier do your due diligence and you will know how to handle the situation. Here are few ways to handle the situation. Please don’t reject them right away, that would be so mean for us employers, not unless you are full staff and you don’t have any vacancy for the job.
Talk to them about your policy regarding your offered salary, state your salary policy and cash advance policy. If they agreed then there should be no problem, but put them in your monitoring radar because sooner or later the motive may come out and you will know when to do a safe decision making.
to give you an idea, the per bag rate of accomplished job here in San Carlos Pangasinan ranges from P100.00 to P150.00 per bag of cement depending on the skill that the worker had. I offer my workers P130.00 per bag of cement accomplishment with 80 pcs. size 4 hollow blocks output.
In this way you can do away with some seasoned worker bad habits and give your hollow blocks making business a higher chance of survival.
TIP # 4:
Don’t be afraid if it takes time to find the right worker for the Job.
Why?
Waiting and patience is better than Rushing and Losing business from a wrong person for the Job. Think of your goal, why did you put up the business in the first place? To have profit and to give somebody something for him a source of income to feed his family, this is our Goal.
We build business to complement each other, we build business for us to live as well, like them to have something to feed their families. There is always a good worker out there who is willing to accept your terms and conditions.
BONUS TIP :

Why?
Don’t get off guard when your worker suddenly get sick or worse he left you for a greener opportunity. Most often we leave the handling of the recipe of the mixture of our hollow blocks to our worker thinking that they are the expert in this endeavour.
I am telling you this, if this is your way of thinking then you are discounting your chances of survival. Your responsibility to your business is absolute, you are the only person who an save your business, knowing the job and its secret is the one of the key to be successful in any type of business.

It should not be your worker who will carry your brand but it’s you the owner of the business.
Workers may come and go but your quality should be maintained and this will maintain your customer as well.
