    Is the Winklevoss twins' bitcoin return the largest/fastest return in history? $11M to $1B in 4 years

    Posted: 04 Dec 2017 09:21 AM PST

    https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/04/winklevoss-twins-may-have-become-first-bitcoin-billionaires.html

    This article claims that $11M was invested in 2013. Now worth over $1B today. I don't know of anyone that has generated returns that quickly to become that wealthy in a standard investment. Sure, by going public, but from a true investment perspective, it's phenomenal.

    I'm looking to pick up new clients for a budding landscaping business that I've become a part of. Any good books/websites/general advice on things related to client retention, branding, advertising, expanding my knowledge of the industry and anything else I absolutely need to know for this business is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    business planning for our production staff

    Posted: 04 Dec 2017 09:04 PM PST

    Hello, /r/business

    I'm looking for tips/solutions on balancing workloads among employees at my workplace. Please note that the following is a metaphor, at our business we actually do not work at a factory, we do work on computers but it's still production.

    We are a factory of about 30 employees that work during business hours, most employees are fulltime (40 hrs a week) but some are part time (ranging from 50-85% FTE). About 20 of these employees are involved in production. We make a variety of candies, and candymakers have to be trained to make a specific type of candy. Each employee has to be certified in a candymaking type, which is a long in-house training program. Most employees are certified in multiple candy types but some are only certified in one. The orders come in as single requests per candy type, it is not possible to batch the orders. The candies are shipped on a fixed schedule (typically monthly).

    The candies have different specifications:

    Lollipops—lollipops are made in a two step process in which two separate employees create half of the lollipop separately, if significant differences are found in key areas of production, the lollipop goes to a 3rd person for review. 40 mins per employee

    Chocolates—employees can be certified to make different types of chocolate, each type (white, dark, milk) takes 20 mins per employee

    Taffys: employees can be certified in saltwater taffy or sticky taffy, takes 35 minutes per employee

    Lollipop & chocolate combo: senior employees are designated to produce combos of 1 lollipop and 1 chocolate combo that must be produced within 3 business days of receiving the customer's order and require 2-3 employees to produce

    We work with maybe about 30 different clients, all have specific candy types and deadlines. For example, one client may have requests for 120 candies per week, with a varying amount/ratios of Milk Chocolate, Saltwater Taffy, and Lollipops, and a demand that all orders received by a certain date must be shipped by another date. Furthermore, each employee must have documented training on the client's specific candy order, whcih doesn't take too long, but it means t hat you can't just have an employee do 1 type of client's order for a day and then never have them do it again, it would not be time efficient.

    ASSUMPTIONS: the process of receiving orders or training at this moment cannot be changed. The client's "due date" for production cannot be changed.

    We struggle with the most efficient way to communicate with the production employees on what orders they should complete. We end up having a giant spreadsheet with backlogs, client names, and employee names, and basically employees have a "x" in a column if they are assigned to if they are assigned to a specific client and candy, and the "x" is highlighted if they should spend more of their time towards that item. We have a virtual group meeting every 2 weeks in which the senior management basically "talks it out" with the production staff about their priorities. However, this systems lacks efficiency because the senior management is "guessing" at their capabilities (knowing the staff well enough to know their certifications without looking them up, etc) in order to cover all the work. Any suggestions on how we can find out how we need to prioritize individual's work hours, and how that can be communicated to staff?

    Working for yourself vs working for a company?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2017 06:56 PM PST

    I am 22 yo living in Canada. I have a job in a supply chain and logistics field.It is in a field of my studies and I really like the prospective of it.

    In my region, there are a lot of people who own their own business and they seem to be enjoying it. However, when the idea of building my own business comes to my mind, I get completely stuck and do not even know how to start. It feels surreal sometimes.

    What would you advise? Should I just keep working in my field and try to open m own business once I get more experience or should I try building it now? What is better?
