    Starting an auto hobby garage? Am I crazy?

    Posted: 02 Feb 2019 10:51 PM PST

    Hey all. I want to start an auto hobby garage as there isn't one in my town. Basically a large garage with a couple of bays where you pay a fee, bring you car in, and we provide tools/consumables to use(towels, oil, filters, coolant, etc) stuff like a paint booth and large air compressor with lines ran to every booth, also specialty tools upon request to be signed out, also we could order parts for you if you needed them. Does this sound like a decent idea for a city of about 125k with nothing similar around?

    Starting an Auto Parts business in NYC

    Posted: 02 Feb 2019 08:52 PM PST

    So the basics of my business is me getting auto parts/performance parts from distributors and reselling them. Pretty much a retail business but specifically in car parts. I want to start up with a partner who knows a few people which will be beneficial for me because I can run a lot of the business logistics and he has a lot of the connections with clientele.

    My question however is, what are the legal things I need to do to start my business? I was online and saw I need to register the business and have a tax ID too. I think the best thing would be to start an LLC (from what I've heard from people) and the profits will be split 70/30 because I will run most of the business.

    Does anybody have insight on the correct steps? The business will be run from home so we do not have a physical location and will not be wrenching on any bodies car, purely just selling them the items. I was thinking of getting an accountant/lawyer but trying to keep the expenses down while starting up and heard it's perfectly reasonable to start a business on your own without the need for one.

    A small clothing designer/retailer approached me about using my art on their products and said I would get credit and split profits, what should I do?

    Posted: 02 Feb 2019 04:04 PM PST

    For some context, I recently got into graphic design and made an instagram to showcase my work and I was contacted by a larger instagram account (who is the clothing designer/retailer). They want to use one of my pieces of art on their products and said they would split profits with me and my art would credited.

    I am very nervous about this because I really want to say yes, but, I have no idea what I am doing!

    Here are my questions:

    1. What is the typical split of profits between artists and clothing designers/retailers (small online ones)? I want to make sure I am not being swindled.
    2. How can I make sure I am properly credited for my artwork on their products? Should I sign the artwork? (I've been signing all my stuff but I have no idea if its different when being used on clothing)
    3. Do I retain control of my intellectual property (the art) if I allow another business to use it?
    4. How can I ensure they dont take advantage of me?

    thank you in advance for any help.

    Can Sweaters be considered business formal?

    Posted: 02 Feb 2019 11:25 AM PST

    Hello, can sweaters be considered business formal. I would be wearing dark navy chinos, a button up with a dark navy sweater over where you could see my collar tucked in with my dark brown boots. I could wear a tie but I don't like ties, but if I must I shall. This is for a job/internship interview situation. I don't like wearing blazers because it doesn't look "me" but I was wondering if a dark colored cashmere sweater is considered business formal? Thank you!

    What Tech Companies Can Learn From The Wine Industry

    Posted: 02 Feb 2019 08:35 AM PST

    A lot of people have coffee every day. They prefer having it in a mug. Having it in a glass would feel… weird? Different? It wouldn't be a proper fit.

    We, as humans, have advanced. We've developed a lot of glasses. Glasses for water, wine glasses, champagne glasses and so on. For wine, they're even different given red or white wine. Connoisseurs will note that there are glasses for full-bodied red, light-bodied red, rose, sparkling (not champagne! got to be careful not to discriminate) and light-bodied white wine.

    I'm not one but even for me, I can slightly tell the difference between the red, white and sparkling wine glass.

    And then there's tea. There are full tea sets with all their cups and plates and so on. You won't pour tea into a wine glass. You could, for utilitarian value but hey, once we're past that point, we can be choosy.

    We can get so choosy to the point where we won't actually have that drink if it's not in the right recipient — at least people do. We can skip a beverage because of the square peg in a round hole problem.

    Personal Story

    I've had it once. I was liking my energy drink and as much as it sounds very weird, I only did so because of the packaging. Why? Once I poured it into a mulled wine glass (just for the sake of it), it "tasted" like some cough syrup I was probably having in my childhood.

    Did it taste different? Science and common sense say no. Something inside of me said yes.

    The experience was different. Ever since then, I've never had energy drinks. I didn't cast a spell upon me that I would never ever touch them but I simply didn't feel like. Just because it was poured into a glass and I haven't had it out of the can.

    What's your point OP?

    My point is this: after a certain threshold of utilitarian value, people can get picky. That's not the case if there's no competition — they can choose what you do or nothing at all. And if you're in that position, you better start widening the gap between your company and the next contender, whenever they might emerge.

    My other point is this: the internet reduced the costs of entry for a lot of things. Social media's cost of entry versus TV or radio. An online shop vs a brick and mortar. Thousands of examples.

    Because of that, we're heading towards a society that will have more and more niches for more and more refined audiences. If before we had "solutions for cars", we'll eventually have "solutions for 1962 to 1970 Jaguar E-Type female owners" — so there's a community that's filtered by: gender, car make and model and year of production. My idea is that it's pretty filtered.

    Before, there was not enough "space" for this kind of filtering to happen. Now, there is. Solution can be a blog or a car parts shop.

    As a consequence, and here's my idea in a sentence),

    We're dividing more and more into smaller assemblies/tribes. The more we do that, the more we'll differentiate by personality.

    As voice becomes more and more integrated into our society, yes, companies will have voices — and then it will be easier for us to grasp the concept of personality.

    Shopify is providing e-commerce solutions for business people. It's a "what you see is what you get" solution. Bigcartel is making it clear from the first second that it's for the "artists and makers". Their most expensive e-commerce solution is capped at 300 items — does that mean that you have to prove you're one of the two to use it? No. And not all Bigcartel clients are artists.

    That's Bigcartel's personality and they do that in order to connect to the personality of the artist. And by speaking so strongly to these people, somehow it happens that non-artists use Bigcartel as well.

    Are you still serving "everyone"? Is your product "for everyone"? Chances are, if you're reading this, then no.

    You've gone past the hurdle of "I want my product to be bought/utilised by everyone". Let's double down on that — personality.

    Business permit for Poshmark?

    Posted: 02 Feb 2019 02:31 PM PST

    I'm a seller at Poshmark for a few years now and for my business to be considered on my taxes I need a permit. I'm only 19 and have a vague understanding of this. How should I go on about this?

    I'm thinking about starting an apparel company and wondering what I should give my designers for royalties.

    Posted: 02 Feb 2019 06:06 AM PST

    I was thinking about giving 5% at first and moving it up to 10% if their designs start selling well enough. Those are just random numbers though, and I'm not much of a business guru. Any suggestions would be helpful! :)

    How necessary is it to have a business degree prior to starting your own business?

    Posted: 02 Feb 2019 11:01 AM PST

    It's a dream of mine to one day open my own bookstore. Would it be beneficial to get a business degree or take some business courses before laying down the groundwork for making this goal a reality? Or is it fine to just do extensive research on my own? Any advice is greatly welcome. Thanks!
