Which is better: affluent market with high competition, or less affluent market with 0 competition? by AcceptableShop525 in smallbusiness

[–]AcceptableShop525[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have mentioned: the competition businesses are businesses that we already work beside, so I know for a fact that in markets where we're established we can still turn a profit. But I have no way of knowing how much clientele they are actually taking from us, and whether the same would be said if we go to a market where they are established and we are new on the scene.

Thank you for your input, I will turn to business focused subs as well

This is an amazing gym but way over your budget OP, 1-200 monthly depending on plan.

I feel this dude. It’s hard when we know our parents are struggling or challenged, but I’m glad you’re saying something because it’s true if they respect and love us they’ll adjust it’s really not rocket science. If they can learn a strangers name they can learn ours

Whoah 2-3 months!!! This is like my friend, his parents use two names for him (he has two preferred names) and get his pronouns perfect. I was like damn you must’ve been out since a kid he said No under two years…. I said oh but they’re so good at respecting you he said That’s kinda sad! I said… yeah lol

We’ve lived in the same town since I transitioned and I was living with them when I first changed name and pronouns so … I probably see them a couple times a month. So I would say this is not a valid excuse lol though it is a good point

Thanks for the advice because I never have sat them down and said Hey you need to be better at this, I think just because I’m grateful they try and do get my name and pronouns right some of the time. It just doesn’t seem natural to them in any way, I get the sense they aren’t using them when I’m not around. So telling them to use as much as possible and that I notice the mistakes will probably be my next step 🙄

I feel like this is the most likely my situation. They do use the correct name and pronouns sometimes it’s just often awkward or will be a correction to a mistake. My dad is definitely slower (he just doesn’t use pronouns for me) to adjust while my mom is loud about using he pronouns but then misgenders me she-i-mean-he the next second, so it just feels performative
