Business A Fast-Food Problem: Where Have All the Teenagers Gone?

Recently (a month ago) I've started a landscaping business. I have my own mower, trimmer, blower, gas can, shovel, rake, car, and a trailer soon. I essentially own all of this myself, but obviously this type of work with a lot of lawns to cut needs help from another person. I have a friend who wants to work with me, but I'm not sure if I want him to be an employee making $10 an hour or a business partner splitting the money with me. He seems eager to contribute, but I'm hesitant to trust just anyone to have ties with. So far I have 8 accounts for weekly mowing and a few mulch jobs to do. How should I go about splitting the money and when is it necessary to have him work with me if he's not going to be a business partner?

I suggested once before that I can handle all of the mowing myself and we can split the money on any enhancement jobs (mulching, planting, edging etc) but he didn't seem keen on the idea.

Where do I start.

Posted: 06 May 2018 04:30 PM PDT

I am 20 yrs old. I have been developing an idea for a business. I just don't know the foundations of how to start a business, I have some understanding on marketing and branding but want to know what it take to run a fully functional business. What are the must haves and do nots. What are great books to read or articles to look into about that will help me develop a better understanding of what it means to be a business owner and how to run one.

Effort into my business and very little return

Posted: 06 May 2018 01:57 PM PDT

So, I started a sort of passion project streetwear clothing line (like Supreme) in 2014 and it was awesome as something that was just for fun and I was putting only maybe 5-10 a day a week into it besides periods that required more work.

Since the end of 2017 (about late October), I've been putting in a lot more work as I'd like to grow it to something more. Maybe nearly 50 hours most weeks and always over 30.

I haven't seen big returns during any of this time. To the point that it is extremely discouraging. I really dig into Instagram to engage anyone who might be interested in what we offer. I build relationships with them as best I can in hopes they'll check things out and buy, but this really hasn't lead to nearly anything. I put in work on things behind the scenes and developing what content I can with little capital but there is only so much I can do in this regard unless we are gaining steam.

I'm confident that the products are awesome and they are of top quality (better than a lot of clothing start ups even).

A huge issue is the lack of capital to invest in content and promotion but without any sort of track record of success, this would be nearly impossible to attain.

What do y'all think? What should I be doing to convert people into sales? Is it really even worth my time after this much effort or should I move onto something else?

I've got other ideas for new projects and things but I'd really prefer to get this one off the ground so I can have momentum heading into those other ideas.

I'd be happy to link to our site and such at request but I don't want to outright just self promote :)
