You can't even spell business correctly, how in the fuck are you gonna give out business advice?

English is my second language, still learning.

Not being able to spell is one of the most important qualities of a successful entrepreneur. The other is being very attractive. A look that says: "If you do business with me, maybe you'll become as attractive as I am. Maybe I'll let you have access to my harem."

That's retarded. Are you retarded? I can't think of any other reason to say something so retarded.

How do so many small businesses who are run by people who obviously don't know business manage to survive under the radar of regulation and laws? I see so many businesses run by room temperature IQ shitskins and such who obviously are not following all the rules and regulations yet they are not shut down or taxed into oblivion. Smart White folks don't seem to be so lucky with this and get harassed and fined for their minor missteps in business. It just doesn't make any sense outside of being anti-White small business. Your thoughts on this?

The US is surely anti-white in many ways, and maybe rule breaking is more "allowed" for people of color because they see them as "less capable" therefore deserving of privilege, or extra-assistance, when of course they are equally capable, and need no special treatment.

The belief that one race is superior to another has lead to all this confussion and difference in treatment.

Nowdays the white race is the one being attacked and opressed, but in the past other races suffered the same by whites and others.

I believe however society is balancing out and becoming more brotherly over time, among all races.

You know sales but what bout the producers? How do i maximize my income as one of the people who make you your money?

[–] • 0 pt

To clarify, if you produce great stuff, that's a competitive advantage and that is a great skill to have, but it will be wasted talent without a good sales strategy.

Sales is the most important aspect even if you are a producer (I also am one). Keeping cost down is challenging for sure, specially when you are competing with folks who have way more purchasing power.

My strategy is great customer support (I sell services), so I compete with huge international companies that offer much lower prices, but nos as good customer care and support.

Therefore I'm able to charge more than the big guys, and even have better service than them, and there is a market that is willing to pay extra for great support.

Focus on high quality and never compete on costs. Also I higly recommend to read "Blue ocean strategy". In short, stay away from saturated markets, and seek for smaller niches you can dominate and monopolize.

For example, if you sell plumbing services, maybe you can speciallize in "plumbimg services for the rich" or "plumbing in less than 24 hours". Don't have to be cheaper, just offer a different thing that is not yet being offered.

See "Circus Solei" for a case in point, they have no animals, cut costs tremendously compared to their competition, which was tradittional circus back when they started.

If you have been at this for decades, how are you not a millionaire?

Have been learning from scract, started with only a computer. My biggest hardship have been learning to be a good, confident leader, since I was not one at all when I started, I was very submissive and kind of insecure when younguer.

Learning how to have a profitable business, keep income up but costs down, is another big challenge.

So I'm still going step by step as fast as I can, and things are getting better for sure.

It sounds like you have not multiplied yourself by hiring enough people to take either take care of the duties which don't directly generate money for you (freeing up your time to just make money) or hiring sales/specific employees to generate for you more cash.

That has been an issue for sure, since I'm the technical guy and for long tried to do it all myself.

I now have a not so small team that do most of the hardlifting, but still I struggled for years to keep costs down. Over staffing and low productivity, was an issue for a long time, since I was not a great leader at first. I was about to bankrupt in 3 different times because of this, but managed to recover by firing not-loyal or dishonest staff, and learning to grow step by step, and learning to hire better.

On time (decades) I have become better leader, but I'm still learning.

How to get more shekels pls?

It's all about sales. First learn how to sell one product or line of products/services.

Then learn to progresively sell more expensive and higher quality stuff in that same line of product/services.

That's all you need to know.

I don't need advice, but I could probably show you a new trick or two.

Your credentials are meager, and your communication skills weak. If you were successful as you claim, you would charge for your advisory service. Your "team" probably has no benefits or health insurance. You have no references or physical business location. My question is why would you present this charade? Are you into humiliation?
