| 10 tips for prospective/new business owners. Posted: 31 Jan 2020 02:52 AM PST These are just ten items, out of many more possibilities, from my 20+ years as an entrepreneur. In no particular order:
Work for someone you can learn from. Find someone you can ask questions or concerns ideas of it. It's important to search out advice from people who have done it. There are a lot of wantrepreneurs, as well as good, well-meaning people who believe they have an idea of what entrepreneurship is. Trust me, if they haven't lived it, they don't.
Believe you can overcome any adversity; conquer all competition; beat every odd in front of you, and survive everything thrown your way. You are indestructible. And not just have the ability to survive, but also flourish. And if you fail and it all goes bad? Be strong enough to start over again, with the same approach that you came in with. Cause as I said…you got to be Superman!
Success is about looking it for opportunities and having the balls to try and take advantage of them.
You may be eating lots of leftovers, miss movies or events, work on the holidays, etc. Being an entrepreneur takes significant sacrifice. It doesn't mean you can't have a life away from work, but it takes effort. Additionally, understand that the sacrifice you are making is not you losing out on something, but a significant investment you are making for you and your family's futures. (Sidenote: I don't believe I have regretted going into business for one minute. I love the challenge and lifestyle. I've definitely regretted decisions I've made along the way for sure).
Don't get distracted making YouTube videos or paying for and going to seminars. It's not that you won't want these at some point, but for most new businesses, sales are still very face to face and done solely utilizing human interaction via phone, text or directly. Additionally, everything you need to know is on the internet for free. To be clear, the internet will play a major part in any new business. Just don't think that all you need is a website and some Facebook ads and the customers are going to beat your door down. Contrary to popular belief, that ain't reality.
Formal education is great and will help, but it is neither necessary and will not get you very far. You have to actually do the work to get your education. I have had many, very well educated people work for me over the years. I myself have zero formal education. What I do have is a lifetime of real-world experience and the disposition to learn while suffering.
Change today what you changed yesterday has to be a mantra. Employees will fight this, but you will have to be strong. People will naturally push back against this, but bad ideas are bad ideas. And sometimes we don't catch the bad ideas quick enough. I have blown up projects that we spent weeks putting together simply because once they were implemented, they were crap. I then take full responsibility for it, change it again, hopefully, learn from the mistake, and move on. You cannot be scared to make mistakes, so don't fear this. Embrace it, it will happen!
Mastering chaos is critical. Learn how to herd cats! The best entrepreneurs are calm, cool and collected when things are at their ugliest. That's the essence of an entrepreneur.
You can do whatever you want with it once you have it. But if you don't earn it from profits, you can't use it for whatever you're passionate about. There's no saving the rainforest if there's no money to fund it. Also, there is nothing wrong with wanting more, (raise your hand if you have ever turned down a raise!) So don't feel guilty about how you think that makes you look to others or what popular culture says about it. I had NO money into my 20s, and the whole reason I worked was that I wanted more. Having said that, remember that money follows, it doesn't lead. Many decisions are made trying to chase pennies when there are dollars a little bit further down the line. Money is made on the back of good decision making. (BTW, By the end of the day most of these decisions are made from the gut. There is no guiding light in business!)
This one will be controversial, but here's why I say it: I think we should work passionately, that way we can go to work ON our passions. You want to give yourself every advantage to be successful because god knows the odds are against you. Constantly be on the lookout, and searching for, all opportunities that you can take advantage of is critical. You do not have to be passionate about what your business does, just about your business. My passion for my business being successful is about me surviving, for my family, my employees and the food my companies put in their mouths. Ok more than 10 but I'm on a roll!!
Family, friends, co-workers, competitors, etc. They will all tell you you're crazy. You have to believe in yourself because more often than not, no one else will. The life of an entrepreneur is a lonely one, especially when things are not going well. This is were many lose it.
Do not believe you can't start a business AND spend time with your family? I worked 18 hours a day for a decade, and 12-15 for the next decade, and still saw my family almost every day. This is why you cannot listen to people who haven't done it, because all you will hear is that you can't have your cake and eat it too. I'm here to tell you that you can. I believe raising a family is about quality time, not quantity. My three kids are all grown now and either working for me, going in the military or going to school. And I have a great relationship with all three of them. Mostly because their mother is extraordinary, but I had something to do with it! The final one I promise…
From day one everything has to be your fault, regardless of whether or not you had anything to do with it. You own the issue, discipline or retrain the people doing the work, and move on. Since everything is your fault, there is no one for you to blame, hate or obsess over. I've had employees steal thousands of dollars over the years. We find it, get rid of them, fix whatever loophole they found that I should have, and move on. My fault. I once had a billing issue cost me $100k over 18 months before the accountants caught it. The money I was not able to recover. Would it do me any good to blame someone else? Would it bring the money back? So we changed how we billed so it didn't happen again. We dealt with the employee by providing additional training, and then I went into the corner and curled up in a fetal position and started sucking my thumb! (That last parts not true, I didn't go into the corner!) There you go, 10 things (really 12 things), that I think any prospective business owner or entrepreneur should know. Not my top ten (12), just ten (12) off the top of my head. For more info like this, check me out at jerrybrazie.com or on Facebook at Jerry Brazie. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 31 Jan 2020 01:20 AM PST Hello all, I've found myself in a situation where I'm considering leaving a start up I was apart of, both of us are 50-50 shareholders, he is a director and I am silent investor. I just want to know my rights as a 50% shareholder I would assume that I should be receiving the same profit and have just as much say as him as he has to me, he is trying to pull some "I'm the director" voodoo and pressuring me to leave the business Should I stay a reap the benefits of the business or is it not worth the trouble EDIT: Does it take both members to agree on a split, for example if he wanted to split the business and I didn't what would happen in that situation [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 30 Jan 2020 11:22 PM PST What can I write off in relation to airbnb rentals. I did my first year and only made 13k. I rent a 3 bedroom duplex. I have done some minor diy to give the place a more upgrade look like painting, regrouting and sealing tile, new sink, new bathroom and kitchen faucets, new rocker and smart switches. I stay in my room all year and rent out two other bedrooms and a section off living room. What did people find saved them the most in write offs? If you can write off utilities do you just go up to your utility office and ask for a print out of the total cost of bills that year? I'm clueless when it comes to taxes and airbnb and I want to know every little trick learned to save every possible penny from every little hack. I'm in Florida if that means anything. And advice would be greatly appreciated the more detailed the better. I'm honestly a little stressed out since I don't know what I may expect me owning. Also when should I be expecting a form from air bnb on what I may owe. [link] [comments]  |

| Management Contract Negotiations Posted: 30 Jan 2020 08:10 PM PST I work for a company that may soon get bought out. I have been told this deal will come with management contracts for the Executive team of which I am a part of. While I understand that every situation is different, in general, is it customary to accept the offer as presented? Is negotiationing acceptable ever? Of particular concern to me is my ability to redeem vacation without taking it. As the only member of the Executive team promoted from within the Company. I'm always told I must follow Company policy. My peers on the Executive team were hired on with contracts and as such accrue vacation at enhanced rates, higher starting balances and redemption policies. I am currently losing around 100 to 150 hours / year of vacation because my requests to redeem are denied and I am unable to take vacation as I am considered essential so even if I am on vacation, I am still called, emails and assigned work. I apologize if this is not the right forum for this... [link] [comments]  |

| How to do business like an experienced business owner? Posted: 30 Jan 2020 05:52 AM PST I'd imagine that a long time business owner has: traits of being patient, knows to be consistent and get things done on time, and to do it to a high standard. technical side they have standard procedures, due diligence, and a time tested way of doing things. Being educated and going beyond business standards strategic side they may have a specific idea to be aggressive, calculated, and take on new opportunities yet keep the business consistent. governance side to make sure the entire business model is making the 'car fast, agile and reliable' executive/philosophy to compete with competitors by executing in a certain mindset. An entrepreneurial vision to optimally reach a goal. reflective/adaptive willing to adopt the best ideas/results from different sources. Willing to change and sculpt the business or previous ideas to a new way high achieving ability to thrive to become an olympic level business. And to make the consistent good decisions under pressure To sum up, an experienced business owner has a clear picture in what needs to be done to reach a high level. Which includes adopting novel ideas, and removing redundant ones. Using the most modern ways of doing things. To execute and sustain their entrepreneurial vision, until that needs to be adjusted. Do you think this is on the right track? What are your feelings about what mentality leads to strong experienced businessman? I appreciate any responses. [link] [comments]  |
| Should I take the Opportunity to be taught by Successful Entrepreneurs? Posted: 30 Jan 2020 04:34 PM PST I've been offered a 2 day course that costs £250 in association with my college to be taught by some of the best entrepreneurs and rising CEO's that will teach "key" business skills that will help out in the future like: building a business from scratch, negotiation and marketing etc... It would seem like a no brainier but for the price it just seems risky, has anyone had a similar situation where they can shed some light on if it's a good investment? [link] [comments]  |

| Could someone explain to me what a W9 form is? Posted: 30 Jan 2020 10:23 AM PST Hello, So I'll get straight to the point. I have a customer who works as a teacher for a school who used some stuff from my shop (not a lot) but at the beginning of the year, he brought in a W9 form and said that we needed to fill it out for him to buy stuff from us. We have had teachers from other schools purchase stuff from us for years now and this is the first time I have ever seen a W9 form. Normally it wouldn't matter too much, but this form requires a ton of important info. What concerns me is that it requires a full social security number of the business owner. Does anyone have experience with this form, or have info on it? Thank you all [link] [comments]  |
