"You can, first thing pay off any debt you have. secondly secure your legal immigration documents. Thirdly work and save do not build house buy land. Now it time to invest in the shoe making. Start small and sell online. Then when you are recognised for few sales, then you can fill product submission form on retail street shops online. They will ask you for sample and then you present proposal for it. you will definitely find your way up there. Note: it will never be easy and will take time to achieve these especially if you have debt to pay."
