Employee says she won't come to work tomorrow Posted: 31 Oct 2018 12:51 PM PDT I run a small store and have a few part time employees that help to run the store. Business is quiet at the moment so I gave employee A the work for this week over employee B. Today, employee A and I had a disagreement where they said I raised my voice. Afterwards, they said that they will not come to work tomorrow because they needs time to themselves. This is my first time hiring someone, is this normal behaviour? Should this be accepted? Should I work alone tomorrow or ask employee B to come to help? I don't want to appear to employee B that I'm desperate for their help. I don't want to beg employee A to come tomorrow if they are not comfortable with working beside me. I appreciate all guidance. submitted by /u/iwasmakavelli1 [link] [comments]

One year later: What I've learnt from starting Instaaa.com Posted: 31 Oct 2018 06:42 PM PDT One year ago I started instaaa.com as a way to solve my own struggles with getting initial customers and traffic. Instaaa originally started as a basic submission tool, however over the course of the last 12 months it has evolved into an entire automated outreach platform which has helped more than 1,000 startups and businesses get their products and services in front of potential customers. ​ It hasn't always been a smooth ride and building something like Instaaa came with a lot of ups and downs. Here's three things I've learnt over the last year which have helped me not only improve the service but improve myself and my overall approach to future projects. ​ Don't get lazy: When I started making a decent MRR from Instaaa I got lazy and lost the motivation to better the service. I failed to listen to customers, added useless features I thought were cool and slacked on customer support. This showed. I started receiving complaints, refund requests and my sales dropped dramatically within the course of a few weeks. Negative comments & reviews from past customers started impacting future customers and it was after a month of this happening I realised I needed to make a change. I hired better staff, started allocating my time for support and added things to the website that people were actually asking for. Things improved and sales increased, however the reviews from that time have and will always stick around. ​ Product first, design later: I'm obsessed with making things look pretty and spent far too much time focusing on site design rather than improving my actual product. Yes, a nice website is going to help in the long run, but getting those initial customers shouldn't be too hard with something basic, especially if it can do a good job at reflecting your product or service value. If you're struggling with building a website I'd recommend using something like Carrd or even downloading a template from Cruip to get started. ​ Don't be scared to experiment with pricing: When I first launched Instaaa it was a free service with a paid option to skip the waitlist and be promoted immediately. This was a great deal for customers but living hell for me and my small team of two. At the end of November I realised we were going to be unable to cope with the sheer amount of submissions we had so adjusted the modal to a paid one, notifying people in our waitlist and honouring a those who had been on it longest. I received a handful of complaints, but those were outweighed by the surge of payments and new traffic the website was bringing in. Since then, I've adjusted the packages on Instaaa twice in the last year, increasing their prices to help meet running costs and also to experiment with what structure works best. I noticed no customer decline from doing so and would even say the new prices have helped sales. ​ I'd love to chat to some of you about what you're working on or any issues you might be having with your startup/business. I'm not saying these points apply to everyone either - they're simply things I've found since starting my own online business. Let's discuss! submitted by /u/heybournnn [link] [comments]

business question Posted: 31 Oct 2018 09:52 PM PDT if a entreprenur decided that he was going to buy convenience stores, how many would he have to own to be worth 1 billion dollars submitted by /u/johaun123 [link] [comments]

Ethical dilemma Posted: 31 Oct 2018 05:45 PM PDT So I recently pursued a business endeavor with my cousin. He told me " I'll give you an equity stake and an hourly wage". The hourly wage was dirt compared to my qualifications, so, I was obviously hoping for a fair stake. After 5 weeks I confronted him cause he hadn't paid me a dime. I asked when he would be writing me a check. He proceed to pay me through PayPal and only paid me for two weeks....... I was pissed. We never got anything in writing and I'm pretty sure he's gonna cut me out and fuck me over. What should I do? submitted by /u/NewInvestment4 [link] [comments]

What advice would you give to aspiring entrepreneurs before they take the leap of faith and start their own business? Posted: 31 Oct 2018 01:32 PM PDT Aspiring entrepreneurs often ask me what's it like to be a startup founder and what must they know before starting a business? The short answer is GREAT and a whole lot but we'll get to it shortly… It's no secret that we live and work in the world where most people, especially among Millennials and Generation Z who are soon to enter the workforce, think and dream of starting their own business. Freelancers, solopreneurs and entrepreneurs are terms being used by millions worldwide to describe themselves. Many don't even realize the true meaning of those terms, yet use them on a regular basis and with much bravado. Why? Because it's cool…entrepreneurship, freelancing, gig economy, co-working spaces and all the new and fancy schmancy terms and ways of making living nowadays are just cool and best of all, there's really not much to it, is there? Well, hate to tell you but there's much more to it than meets the eye…much more than what the mainstream media report on and wants you to believe. There's no glamour or fame, instead there's so much misery and pain. Entrepreneurship is the way of life not something you just become over night. Entrepreneurship is the way you think, breath, eat, sleep, live and everything in between. I believe that you either have it in you or you don't. I say this from experience having worked with and known so many interesting people over the course of my personal and professional life. Many were exceptional and wildly successful, others not so much but often times the one thing they had in common was the entrepreneurial DNA. You reading this, tells me that you too might be an aspiring entrepreneur who dreams of becoming a successful startup founder and serial entrepreneur or perhaps you already are a serial entrepreneur who simply wanted to read my take on entrepreneurship and what I believe aspiring entrepreneurs and startup founders ought to know before taking the leap of faith.

Question: What on-premise software / services do you have installed? How, What For and Why do you use it? Posted: 31 Oct 2018 11:59 AM PDT I'm doing research on how software is used in business: A lot of software is moving from on-premise to web-based / paas / saas solutions, so I'm curious what software and services businesses still have on-premise? What software and why on-premise vs web-based? How do you use this software? What tasks do you perform? submitted by /u/TheAdventMaster [link] [comments]
