| I’m back again, asking once more if I can start my own company at 13. Posted: 04 Mar 2020 12:52 AM PST So I have been putting in a lot of effort to create a business model, marketing plan, expense prediction, and company pitch to start my company. I'm hoping to start a company that builds computers for people. I have done a lot of readership and I think I can get it going. There is a office space in my town that is reasonable to rent. And with all of the supplies we would need to set our company up with proper tools, supplies, and resources. The total comes to about 20k. I would hope to have 4-5 investors each contribute enough to get us started. And really that's the only downside to it. We would have to ride on investor money rather than personal. But then again some companies have. If you want more details about my company I can tell you that we would build custom, and prebuilt computers. As well as parts, and anything one needs to setup a desk with a computer, and the normal. What else am I forgetting? What else should I do? Any ideas? What are your guy's tips for getting investors? If you were to buy a computer online from my company, and you saw that I was running it. Would you still buy? What about in person? You here a computer store opened up and you want to go buy a pc, you walk in and I greet you. What do you think? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2020 04:10 AM PST How do you know that your top managers are ineffective? There are apparent signs: for example, the organization repeatedly fails to achieve its goals. But there are also less obvious signs:
Let me break those down one by one in detail.
As a former CEO with 20+ years of experience, I spent many hours in meetings and found that a meeting lasting more than an hour was simply inefficient. It is difficult for people to remain focused for such a long time. Multi-hour meetings are only needed in extreme cases, and in any case, you need to take a break every hour. Sitting steady is tiresome physically, as it reduces cerebral blood supply, making mental activity less effective. Some companies practice standing up meetings without seats, just like SCRUM technology that comes from Agile. People find it hard to stand up for long periods of time, and they are subconsciously faster at making decisions. But the true secret of short and effective meetings is as old as the world: a good preparation and a thoughtful agenda. Hard-line managers know it well and don't waste their colleagues' time in vain.
When I was inexperienced, I often tried to reconcile managers unable to reach an agreement with each other. But with experience, I started to look at things a bit differently. I started to consider (and I still do) the ability to agree among themselves to be one of managers' key competencies. The ability to find a common language with colleagues, or corporate competence, is, in my opinion, not of less importance than managerial competence. If there are constant squabbles or quiet intrigues in your team, that means at least part of the team has been composed of incompetent managers.
My HR-director once a year prepared a reference for me about the staff turnover rate in each of the departments. The departments with the highest rate fell under my special control. At that time and in that country, the normal rate was within 10% per year. A higher figure could indicate that the head of the division constantly changes his subordinates in search of the ideal ones, without realizing that it was only him able to meet such an expectation. It was necessary to work with him separately on this issue, or just fire him.
Top managers believe that they could be a lot more effective if they were allowed to act more freely. But the clear lines of powers and responsibilities, which have been set out in documents, exist only in large companies where the corresponding lines have been assigned to special departments. In most medium-sized companies, powers and responsibilities are blurred and not written down. In such a situation, a top manager may complain and ask for mandate, or may recall an old but working law: the mandate is not given but taken. A true and experienced top manager, feeling that he lacks mandate to solve his tasks, just takes the initiative in his hands and decides everything himself. And then he's responsible for his decisions.
You can get frequent complaints from top managers about environmental factors, which they blame for all their failures. But the external environment is the same for everyone, with some companies succeeding and some still complaining. When I was a CEO, I listened attentively to how my subordinates commented on their failures. The desire to justify oneself, to explain one's mistakes by the actions of others, is quite natural. But a top manager is distinguished by the ability to overcome this impulse and focus on his mistakes, and even more on what needs to be done to avoid repeating them. Let me know what you think, what other signs of poor management you have seen in your company and what was done to correct the mistakes. [link] [comments]  |

| Google Search Ads for beginners Posted: 03 Mar 2020 01:59 PM PST Hey All, my name is Marquis Mitchell and I have been in marketing for over 16 years and now own an agency. The past 8 years I decided to have a sole focus on driving actionable results to my clients through Google Ads. After working with a variety of clients, I became aware that there is so much they do not know in regards to managing their own Google Ads Search account. Even worse is that all the free documents on the subject give such a broad level overview that they aren't all that useful. I decided that I wanted to do something different for the beginner business builders out there because we all need some assistance. I also want to give some businesses a fighting chance in the cut-throat Google Ads market. Here are my tips for making sure that your Google Ads Search account is setup for success from the very beginning. First is to make sure that your settings are accurate. Accurate settings start when you initially open a new account. For example the first thing I do when I open a new account is set my goals to "create a campaign without a goals guidance", that way I don't get locked into a specific style campaign. This gives your campaign the freedom it needs without having to limit it. Second is to make sure that within "Networks" you unclick "include Google search partners" for both Search Network and Display Network. Honestly leaving these clicked is just a good way to waste your money. It ends up showing your ads in places where people are not likely to click on them, and even if they do, they aren't likely to convert into a paying customer. I understand that these are very intro tips for beginners, but you don't know how many people don't even do these things. I do have more advanced training and exercises... And here is a free e-book I made for more help on creating a profitable Google Search account https://www.nomaticdigital.com/free-ebook Hope these tips help you structure your Google Ads account. I spent years making mistakes, taking courses, and ultimately losing money. These tips helped me start having some relief and made it easier to create profitable campaigns Hope it helps you too!

| Office supply companies that operated in the 80’s? Posted: 03 Mar 2020 05:20 PM PST Hi, this is for all the old timers out there. Remember business in the 80's? Wall st, money laundering, power suits... I have somewhat of an obsession with the entirety of it. Currently, I am working on creating my home office to be as close to what one would be if it were in the year 1984. Unfortunately, it's a little hard to find vintage catalogues for companies that made middle of the line products. You know, the normal stuff, like regular desk phones or standard chairs. Does anyone here remember/know of any companies that supplied offices with their appliances and equipment? Or even better, does anyone have links to scans of the catalogues? Everyone remembers the glory of IBM or the iconic Bell Telephones, but what really made the 80's the 80's, was everything else. Thanks for your help! [link] [comments]  |

| Tax question, operating in Italy registered in UK Posted: 03 Mar 2020 07:39 AM PST Hello, I have a company registered in the UK that sells tours to clients online (ONLY online) through my website and various other channels. We mainly operate in Rome. However, we are registered in the UK and therefore pay tax to the UK etc. Is this acceptable? Or will I need to register another company here in Italy in order to pay tax and VAT here? I am hoping not, however, I want to stay compliant. I have noticed many others, mainly large companies also are registered overseas and not here and are still able to operate here. Many thanks in advance for any advice given. [link] [comments]  |

| Sharing important details over the phone (without mistakes) Posted: 03 Mar 2020 06:53 AM PST I run a SME where we often have to gather some important details over the phone from clients (beyond just name and number). Often it's hard to understand what our customers are saying because of strong accents. As a result it's wrong in our system and causes us to either waste time or money. I'm looking if others had dealt with this problem and have any tried and true solutions to provide? [link] [comments]  |
