| Making my title on my business cards “general manager” even though I’m the sole owner. Posted: 24 Aug 2019 10:38 AM PDT I've done this because I'm 22 and would like to avoid the thought that I won't be capable of providing these services. I have all the qualifications to do what I'm offering, but the clients I deal with can be irrational (surprise surprise). I also like the idea of not thinking about myself as the owner and don't ever wish to use rank for anything. If they ask about the owner I'm not sure exactly what to say. Any ideas? I'm not really one to be dishonest in any capacity, but my morals and ethics don't see an issue with doing this. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Aug 2019 04:50 AM PDT I know that most small businesses that start with low capital from scratch fails quickly. But which low capital small businesses, consistently bring in profits starting from the first month (whether that is enough to keep the business afloat or even small profits above it) and have the lowest chance of failure? Can someone point to statistics on this? [link] [comments]  |
| Does anyone have any questions about pitch decks? Posted: 25 Aug 2019 02:45 AM PDT I want to start a YouTube channel that has the kind of information I needed but didn't have when I started my business. I thought the best way to start would be with my most in demand service which is pitch decks. My plan is to gather questions and work out some helpful answers with examples shown where necessary (e.g. 'how do you make a cash flow statement' would include me making one). It's all going to be straightforward and concise with no unnecessary bits or time wasting because I hate that! Other topics for the future will include graphic design, business plans, marketing, and general strategy or business support. I'll mention your name in the video, and I'm not expecting this to be a huge hit, it's just something that might help a few people. [link] [comments]  |

| Advice about starting a lawn care business right out of college. Posted: 24 Aug 2019 07:36 PM PDT Background: Hi I am looking for advice. I am debating on starting my own lawn mowing company right after I graduate college this semester (Mid December). I am 21 years old and I am graduating 1 semester early with a Business Administration degree. I do not want to work in an office at all, I had a "good" internship in the city near where I live. I was mostly all office work, I quit it after 2 weeks. I just can't work in an office and I have always known that. The start up costs for a lawn business are relatively low. I also spent the last 2 summers cutting grass with a guy who owns his own lawn business. I do not mind cutting grass out of all the jobs I have ever had it is the own I like the most. This guy who owns his business would definitely help me get started advice wise and picking out equipment. He also would most likely pass on any new lawns he didn't not want to me. The main area I would try to cut is this upper scale township around 15 minutes from my house. I would also try to only cut residential. The lowest price the guy I cut with is $40 they are not big yards they take us around 15 min to do for those ones. With him we cut around 25 yards and it takes around 8 hrs including lunch and drive time. My dad thinks that I would be "wasting my potential" and my education doing this. I really am the type of person that needs to work for them self. What do guys think. This post might not convey it but I am a great speaker and have good grades at college. I would most likely be able to get a decent business job right out of college but that is truly not what I want. Do you think I should go for it, if so what advice do you have for me? Side notes; my car died last year so I bought a brand new one I got a good deal I pay $248 a month and I have 4 years left. I only mention this because I will need to get a truck and I will probably buy a used one. I still live with my parents and will probably continue to do so until next year if this is successful. There is a storage facility 1 minute from my house I plan on storing my truck and equipment there. Also I would do some landscaping on the side. TLDR; Should I follow my dreams of starting a lawn business or just get a normal office job. [link] [comments]  |

| Anybody in trucking related businesses in CA? Posted: 24 Aug 2019 09:55 PM PDT If so, what are your opinions on the upcoming laws and regulations of trucks for 2020-2023? I believe that CA is going to kick out all of Pre-2011 trucks and will be fining companies (and having DMVs block them if they're caught) that still use them. I believe that this will shift trucking companies by a lot in the next few years—especially smaller ones because this law definitely seems to be in favor of big ones. I'm involved in these businesses and I'm just wondering if people who do trucking have similar outlooks on this mess here. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 24 Aug 2019 03:30 PM PDT I find myself consuming information about business by podcasts, books, audio books, Reddit, articles, whatever... Does anyone have any recon for decent business documentaries that don't come across an exposé, but are more informative and helpful? I'm thinking something along the lines of like "How I built This" or something that documents the struggle of building businesses without demonizing business owners. [link] [comments]  |

| looking for point of sale software for consignment store Posted: 24 Aug 2019 08:18 PM PDT hi i'm looking for recommendations for software that can handle point of sale for our rock shop and consignment store. our business was primarily a salon until six months ago and we started branching out into retail. we would like an online storefront, and possibly integration with ebay and amazon. we have been using a piece of software called vagaro, and recently ran into an extreme issue with them dumping all our images for the storefront, with no way to get them back. I was looking at square, but i'd like some other opinions if anyone has any great experiences with things i should also look at. thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Aug 2019 08:15 PM PDT An interesting opportunity has been presented to me and honestly I don't even know where to begging with it. I have a cousin that lives in Guatemala City, he and his partner have a father all the proper paperwork to start exporting marble. I believe this could be turned into a viable business (marble for kitchen countertops). This has at least been my idea so far. I have a background in sales as I am a personal trainer and I don't eat if I don't sell. Taken a few business classes so far. Maybe this is to big to a handle but I can't stop thinking about it and maybe I can get pointed in the right direction. At this point any advice would be amazing help. [link] [comments]  |
| Do you pass on your merchant fees to the customer or just eat them? Posted: 24 Aug 2019 07:02 PM PDT Merchant accounts can be a quick way to eat away at your profits. Do you pass these on to your customer? If not, why not? If so, do you outline the extra charges to them? For example, 'price is $50 plus 2% service fee.' Any regrets either way? Such as you should have passed them on, but didn't, or perhaps you did but the customers opinion of you is now tainted. [link] [comments]  |
| Website Monitoring Service For Small Businesses Posted: 24 Aug 2019 05:47 PM PDT Hey Everyone, Hope you're all having a great day. I just wanted to reach out to each one of you today to say that I'm in the works of creating a well-priced website monitoring service for mainly small businesses. Currently, I'm in the market research portion of the business and I'm looking for a few individuals or developers who have a small business and are curious / interested in a website monitoring service. The survey is about 15-18 very simple questions and shouldn't take you more than 8 minutes to complete (according to Survey Monkey). The link to the survey is as follows: www.surveymonkey.com/r/LWZNWZL. I know this is asking a lot but I really need help understanding the opinion of my target market. In exchange for doing the survey, I plan on giving you a Beta Key for the service once completed. Just fill in your email within the survey (it isn't mandatory if you don't want a Beta Key). Lastly, I just really want to thank each and everyone of you for taking the time to read this post. I seriously appreciate it and wish you all the best! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Aug 2019 09:56 AM PDT Hi everyone, I'm not sure why I'm bothering with this post as this is an issue I've been dealing with since opening 7 years ago. I own a single franchise of a fast growing regional chain, we employ 18-22 people at a given time. Half my staff are back of house production employees that honestly NEVER call out or show up late, etc. However, for my customer facing people I seem to deal with regular lateness, to the point that a quick check of my time clock shows that they average about 50% of their days showing up late. One manager is late closer to 100% of the time. Always between 1-15 minutes. I have coached them, I sit them down to talk, give advice to maybe wake up 10 minutes earlier, etc. Nothing has worked. And I'm only talking about half my people, so 8-10 people. Through my 7 years its the one thing I've never been able to fully figure out, through the hundreds of people I've hired. This is a minimum wage job btw, if that matters? In an area of the US where that means over $12/hr. I've sort of given up on it and accepted that I cover multiple late people everyday. Any advice, or is this just the life we've all signed up for? [link] [comments]  |

| Just Starting my cafeteria ordering system business Posted: 24 Aug 2019 12:54 PM PDT I am a Software engineering Student. And at the system of my cafeteria is old. we have to go and wait for the cashier to come to us (there are only two) so Sometimes you might find yourself waiting for a good 10-15 minutes before getting your coffee. So, I have almost finished developing the API of my system. The students are going to have a virtual wallet and when they deposit money on the cafeteria, they change their virtual money amount. So they can order from their phones using my mobile application and then they get notified when their order is ready so they can come to the cafeteria and take it reducing the time used to wait by 100%. My problem is how do I benefit from this, Should it be by monthly subscriptions of the cafeteria? Or based on the amount of the orders made ( the cafeteria make around 600-800 order/day). I want to have a paying strategy that would increase my chances of the cafeteria using my system. Also if you have any advice on what should I expect or how to be safe from juridic stuff since I am dealing with peoples money. [link] [comments]  |
| How do you get google reviews?? Posted: 24 Aug 2019 08:34 AM PDT Honest question We are one of the top rated gyms in our area with 84 reviews, I ran a contest for members that reviewed us, I found that I had to show each member how or even get them to the review screen on their phones then have them complete the review for me. Since I ran this contest I have received only one more review in 6 months. Our clients love us and all our business is referral. My question is how do you get google reviews? It's actually quite complicated since you can't just send a link. Many people don't have a gmail, I'd say about 20 of my members made gmail accounts just to leave me a review. Thoughts? Comments?

| Where else should I market my shared office space? Posted: 24 Aug 2019 10:30 AM PDT I do the suburban version of the shared office space thing. Everyone gets their own lockable office, with share reception area, conference room, kitchen etc. Probably 80% of my clients have been gotten from Craigslist. I do my own marketing, have signed up with some services (Instant Office, Liquid Space, etc.) Through the years, CL has been good to me, but I have certainly seen a drop off in the number of calls I am getting. I don't see my competition has changed, but have heard CL isn't as popular as it used to be. I looked into Facebook Marketplace, haven't got much, I am doing Google Ads, but as my bills are $30 a month or so, I am not getting lots of hits. (at one point they had me with very basic keywords so I was paying a fortune, but getting no calls.) Any feedback would be appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
