I don"t disagree with the fact that the services should be used wisely and researched before used. I"ve used some gigs before and they"re script based. Once you have that in place, you drop in the 100 websites/facebook profiles etc and walk away. Someone who was a guru etc, still makes a...

I can find them cheaper, but ones that"ll hold up and produce enough light. Right now there are huge differences between a crappy LED light and a good LED light. Lighting is probably the most important thing for my business. If a fish looks good it sells. I"m waiting on my samples to arrive from...

What cost turnaround should I be looking at for a startup? I"m trying to choose lighting for my aquariums. I have been costing them out by the 2 year lease I plan on signing, figuring that if I"m successful I could upgrade down the road. I have 3 options. T8 Lighting Cost for 2 years...

Yeah I understand that. 1 extra employee will cost me more than my rent etc. It"s part of the reason why I want a "small" store. The place that I might sign on is 1500 sqft. You start getting bigger then that, and you can"t adequately keep an eye on things, and help people. You wouldn"t walk...

That"s an interesting question. My goal is to offer an experience in fish that is rarely found right now . With the hopes that it"ll pay for a house and retirement someday. So I"d say my end goal is to work a job I like instead of a grind I don"t like to get ahead. So my goal is to have a...

I"ve been location scouting for nearly 4 months now. Memorizing locations, watching whats opening, what"s been sitting open etc. This place I"ve been watching has a for lease sign in the window, but a giant banner on top of the space for the business that used to be there. SO most think it"s not...

Property that was too good to be true was too good to be true. The tenant next door was named "DankTank" a glass shop... Also the place was run down bad. parking was straight up un useable. So much so that when the realtor parked the neighboring tenant came in and said a customer of his called...

I must have worded it incorrectly. The store I manage now is 5 building town. I"ll be opening in a much larger city. The street I"m targeting, basically has 30k-45k daily passerby traffic. For the past 5 years I"ve been commuting 45 mins to and from work every day to basically learn the ropes of...

Financing is 50k cash from a friend, and an additional 50k at the 1 yr mark. He"s written into the LLC as a Angel Investor. 25% silent partner owner. He"s a friend who lives a couple hours away who is managing a large tire chain store. He works 12+ hour days and has been socking away money...

It"s not the buying toys that kills me. It"s the buying 2 laptops and a iphone the same month you"re 3 months late on your B&O taxes and PUD. He also racks up several hundreds of dollars a year in overdraft charges at the bank, due to him being lazy putting money in there. Customers complain...

I"ll be opening an aquarium only pet store. Freshwater fish only. I have run a fish store for the past 5 years. Doing everything except taking money to the bank. I paid taxes, all ordering, found vendors, basically rose our revenue by about 30% above the 5 years before I was here. The problem is...

I found a retail rental property that was too good to be true..... It"s on a busy road I wanted to be on. and it"s half the price of any other location on the road. The problems.... Parking. Limited parking like 5 spaces available. The other bombshell that I found out is the property is for...

That is a very interesting piece of advice. As I"m starting my own business here in a couple of months I"ve thought of this. The eternal, do I hire someone or run it myself. I was swaying towards being closed 1 day a week etc, single person business. However I think hiring an employee to work 4...

I think it purely depends on what type of business you have. For landscaping, not that much is changing in that realm that customers need to see. However if you were a concert venue. You"d be updating the facebook probably 3 times a week with the shows coming up. Also in my business, pet...

Or you can just go to Fiverr.com and spend $5 per 1000 likes.

I totally understand that. I have the same income as 5 years ago, meaning I didn"t lose my job, actually it"s gone up a bit. But the point is, I have a hard time finding quality products in an acceptable price range. My example is a bed frame. Either A I can buy a shitty just metal frame...

The best part is she knows exactly that Khorne is a Warhammer deity and thinks you"re retarded.

People should factor this in vs women. The money savings can be insane. Surely a single guy can waste his money just as fast as someone dating/in a relationship. Women will always be here. The sooner you invest in a women, the worse she"ll look when you retire. The sooner you invest your...

I"d be looking at the bigger picture. It"s not that your bro will be banging your ex. It"s the fact that your family/friend relationships are going to change dramatically. She talks with you for years on facebook after you two have already separated. She knows you"re married. She is still...

Obviously, they"d have to up the titcon level. Once a level has been reached it can only go up or down. Not matched.

Liked!

WTF how do they go from 69 FB likes to 718 in a hour and a half?!

Voted.

I actually thought about that some after I posted. It could be that your industry just doesn"t attract long term employees. Maybe you need to identify your typical demographic of employees, before we can figure out how to reach them. Perhaps all your min wage guys are dudes out of high school...

The only thing I could think of to help that situation Lyrical, is to make the bonuses public. This goes against general business practices, where people know how much eachother makes hourly etc. But if your top guy gets 5% and thats 5k. The guys below him got 1.5% and thats 1500 etc...

Honestly it"s not that hard to stop theft. Profit sharing. The crew police themselves. Sure you could get all the guys in on it together. But they won"t if some of the members have higher shares of profits than others etc. It builds in extra sets of eyes. Your min wage guys, get profit...

If you do this, make it at random. Companies I worked for had it at random, and when you were selected, you were escorted to a testing facility. What blows my mind is people I know who have had to take UA tests not at random would always beat them by using someone else"s urine. I can"t imagine...

Here"s the problem. Once you own a business you"re hit up at least 3 times a week by some guy who wants just a few minutes of your time. Then they proceed to tell you how you"ll make more money using whatever it is they"re pitching. It"s not that your idea is bad. It"s that it"ll get lost...

Oh hell no. We have to destroy her. Tits will not even come close to redeeming what has been done to us. We"re much better making everyone fear FoH!
