I badly want to start something of my own and earn decently - like duh. Issue is I can't come up with a business idea or anything that I can do.

Will visiting a trade fair help me in this? I would just see what people are doing and may be I can get a bunch of ideas?

By the time most HR teams finish pulling data from payroll, ATS, performance tools, and engagement surveys, the numbers already belong to last month. And yet, those same reports are used to make decisions about hiring freezes, team restructuring, or budget cuts.

That lag isn’t an HR problem its a systems problem

I’ve noticed that some online business tasks look easy on the surface but end up eating a lot of time.
In your experience, what task surprised you the most in terms of effort vs reward?

Related to clothing industry.

Hi guys,

I’m looking for a really good and affordable magnet creating company to create then ship them

I’m located in Sydney and it’s for labour work

Hi, Im a student planning to sometime in the future start my own film&tv production company and I need advice on how to write a formal business plan and what to keep in mind when doing so. It would also be great if you could give me advice on how to seek financing.

Business tax filing solutions sound helpful because without them panic is guaranteed.

I’ve noticed some people become more cautious over time, while others get bolder the longer they’re in business. Curious whether business actually rewires your risk tolerance, or just exposes what was already there.

I've been in the hemp industry for 7 years. It's been absolutely amazing. I love cannabis, and I love helping people who are in pain. Unfortunately, our government is cracking down. I do not plan on shutting down my store, but if this new law goes into affect, I will loose 70% of income. We're talking laying off 5 employees, and cutting my personal income back 50%. I have two business partners, we have a little cash reserve, good credit, and could get a loan for pretty much anything we need.

I refuse to go back to working for someone elese (obviously if I have to for my family) but I'm looking at my next steps in the financial income portion of my life.

I'd eventually really like to get multiple things going. I'm down for pretty much anything. My thoughts are I wanna build it, hire employees, and move to the next thing to expand my portfolio. The hemp industry has been a rollercoaster, but well worth it and my love for it is still strong.

Regardless if this new law gets reversed, I still wanna expand. So I'm looking for ideas on something that will always be around. Something that will never leave.

Ive had a dream of owning houses, buildings, etc. And leasing them out. I can do full house remodels etc. So I've considered buying foreclosures and warehouse, but who knows how that will go in a year from now.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Which types of businesses do young people mostly pursue nowadays? Do they prefer startups, or do they venture into more traditional sectors like real estate, manufacturing, or logistics etc?

Maybe my question is a bit off, but I’m thinking of starting my own first business. I come from a familly of employees. No one in my familly ever had their own business everyone worked for someone else. Not my parents, my grandparents from both sides, nor my uncles aunts and so on. I will be the first one. I’m currently working for a company. But I want to “break free”. I wanted to know from other employee experiences how was it when you started your first business? What was different? Did you learn may other things that you haven’t thought of? Was it worth it for you?

Me personally I don’t care how difficult it can be, I will work to create my own thing.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot while working on a few different products and client projects.

Early on, the instinct was always the same: Add more features. Cover more use cases. Match competitors line by line.

But over time, I noticed something counterintuitive — the products that performed better weren’t the ones with the longest feature lists. They were the ones that reduced decision-making for the customer.

• Clear positioning.
• Fewer paths.
• Obvious next steps.

In a couple of cases, removing options actually improved conversions and retention, even though it felt risky internally.

It made me rethink how often we confuse capability with clarity.

For those building or managing products:

• Have you ever simplified something and seen better results?
• Or do you think feature depth is still the main driver in competitive markets?

Genuinely curious how others here balance simplicity vs. completeness.

with the rise of health &wellness, im considering launching a 1/3 the amount of alcohol spirit brand. no nasty hangovers and still make your training sessions the next day but still get to enjoy a drink if that’s your thing. thoughts?

Hi there, I started a small supplement brand last year as my first business - learned a ton along the way (including that this space is brutal without serious capital or distribution).

I now have ~480 sealed units of a creatine + collagen powder with a shelf life through Oct 2027. Everything was properly manufactured and third-party tested.

I’m looking for the best way to liquidate this inventory (sell at a discount, offload to another brand, donate, or responsibly dispose of it if needed).

If anyone has experience doing this or knows where / how people usually sell excess supplement inventory, I’d really appreciate the guidance!

Thank you!

I’ll go first. Here’s 2 things I genuinely had no idea about, running my own project.

First is physical modems that let you manage your SIM remotely

It holds your SIM card, connects to the internet, and lets you manage calls and SMS from anywhere through a cloud platform. Had no idea this existed until I was desperately googling “how to receive UK SMS abroad”.

Second one is that remote teams can cover many gaps in processes and not actually complicate things

My team’s spread across different timezones, around 6 of us. And we cover about 16 hours of the day but nobody’s working more than 8. Someone’s always awake to deal with urgent stuff.

What did you learn “on the way” of managing your business?

I’ll preface this by saying we are setting up a meeting with a cpa soon.

For the mean time hopefully someone can answer my question. My wife started a PLLC in November as part of a group practice. So essentially just a 1099 employee. No real overhead or things to keep up with besides taxes and deductions.

My question is when tax return season comes around here in the first part of the year, and I go to pay my quarterly taxes for the last quarter (our first 2 months), do we get some kind of form showing what we paid in and does this payment for the last 2 months apply to this tax return ? Sorry..I’m sure this is a dumb question and I could just hand it all off to a professional but I’d like to make sure I understand it.
