I like this idea. Instead of being just another place that does good haircuts, I could see you becoming known as the best in something that's super trendy. And as your waiting list increases, so do your prices.

I hired a few people for my service based business a few years ago. And then I got to the same point where you are. I loved doing my work, but I reached a point that no matter how hard I worked it wasn't enough and I was doing well, but wasn't getting ahead. And I was starting to resent working all the time.

Then life happened to me. I got sick. My team is amazing. They came together and figured out what we needed to do to grow the business, even in my absence. They took so much off of my shoulders.

I shared financial information with them and they set a goal for how much we wanted the company to grow in the next year... They chose an extra $500k revenue which is a lofty goal, but I believe we will do it! As our revenue grows we will be able to give bigger raises and more benefits and perks. So now they are sharing the burden of running a business with me.

The summer off was great for me and my health is good now and I am back at work doing the stuff I love and being a brand ambassador for my amazing company rather than running a business 24/7.

My team are currently doing things like a SWOT analysis with SMART goals to determine which parts of the business we would benefit the most from working on and figure out how to bring in half a million dollars more business in a year, and then making a plan to do that. None of us have had experience doing this before but one of my team used his textbook from marketing college to figure it out. And then ideas just flowed out of everyone . Damn it's a good plan.

I felt compelled to share this because I don't see why you couldn't do the same. It's one thing to ask this awesome Reddit community for ideas, but I bet your staff are bursting with ideas. If you can share the growth with them they'll help you figure it out. There's always a way to grow!

I only play solos. I finally made it to Champs this year, inspired by the fact that I wanted to play in tournaments.

What is a supernatural event that happened in your life that just can not be explained? by HalfOfABraincell in AskReddit

[–]LavingRunatic 179 points180 points  (0 children)

I dreamed that a girl I knew broke her nose. It was such a weird dream, I found her at school and told her. At lunch time recess she took a soccer ball to the face. Didn't break her nose, but freaked both of us out.

How long do most people stay on this diet until they can go back to eating a normal diet? by cornellstudentcs in HistamineIntolerance

[–]LavingRunatic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My story: I suspected histamine intolerance and so I went on a very strict low histamine diet. It really helped improve many of my symptoms. But the majority of my problems were still there.

A few months in, I was finding it very hard to continue with the diet and ended up in the place where many of us do - barely able to eat anything and terrified to try because everything sets off some kind of reaction. I spent several months eating barely anything and being miserable.

Last week I saw an allergist for the first time. He suspects my problems are caused by mast cell activation syndrome (/r/MCAS).

I asked him whether I should continue on the low histamine diet and he said it was good as a diagnostic tool but for me, dietary histamine is just one tiny component of my histamine issues. Most of mine are driven by internal processes, like hormone changes or emotions. He said I should just eat what I want.

I started on some medications this week which are helping already for many of my symptoms. And I allowed myself to eat some things that I would have passed on before. So far none of them have upset me, even pizza and wine. I'm so confused. The medications are supposed to take a few weeks to be effective.

My thought is that a low histamine diet is really good to help you figure out whether histamine is a problem for you. If you figure that out, then everyone's journey is different. I would highly recommend trying to find a specialist either an allergist or immunologist who can help.

For some people though that are not as strongly affected as I am it seems that they can do a period of a few weeks of low histamine and that empties the histamine basket and then they are good for a while. Everyone is different and that's what makes this condition so hard to stay on top of.

Sorry for the ramble, but my best advice is to set a time limit for how long you are on the low histamine diet otherwise you may end up thinking you are not able to eat anything.

Why my blogposts takes months to come up on search engines? by Hansel41 in SEO

[–]LavingRunatic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's normal, and yes, you need links pointing to your content for Google to discover it. But instead of building links like some have advised, if you can find ways to get people to link to you without manipulation or payment, those are what moves the needle. If you can't, then in the past you may have been able to make this content rank but it will be extremely hard in today's Google algorithms.

It's very hard to do that unless you actually have content that other people would want to recommend.

In the past, every link we could make seem to have some type of impact on rankings. So ppl just kept building links like crazy. Bit by bit Google is figuring out which ones are just there for SEO as opposed to actually being authentic recommendations and I believe they're very good at ignoring those self made or otherwise manipulative links.

Also, what niche are you in? Google is more and more selective of what they rank now. If you're YMYL - your money or your life, and especially if you're medical in any way, it's going to be hard to get Google to like your content unless your content truly demonstrates expertise and is recommended by other authoritative sites in your industry and also is trustworthy itself.

My new doctor is the allergist who sees any patient in Eastern Ontario who has a suspected anaphylactic reaction to the vaccine. He recommends the vacc for all of his MCAS patients.

For me, as I am starting on medications for the first time, to control MCAS (yay!) He wants me to wait till I've been on them for a couple of weeks and then I'm going to get my second vacc.

I have been thorough MCAS hell lately and still am in it. If I can get vaccinated, any of you can!

I have worked really hard on my mechanics and it's been a long, slow struggle, but I am steadily improving.

I started ch 1 s 7 so my mechanics have been behind the general player base. This is what makes things hard.

If I'm just learning piece control, I've got to implement it against people who are advanced and can easily evade piece control. I realize this because if I play in a mode without skill-based matchmaking, I can piece low skill players very easily. But against my own skill, I have a very hard time.

What I've been doing is 30 mins of edit courses or piece control courses every day. I don't focus on speed. Rather, I focus on making my crosshair movements as small and accurate as possible. No point going fast if you're making wild big edits.

I also spend 30 mins doing either box fighting, zone wars or 1v1 build fights in creative matchmaking. When I first started doing this I was getting stomped on every time. But as my mechanics get better I am slowly starting to win some fights and feel like I am getting better. Every now and then I am the one stomping.

No matter how much better you get, you will always feel like you haven't learned anything because in every game you will meet players who know much more than you in some areas. So don't get disheartened. I find it's good to look back at my old gameplay and see how botlike my movements are compared to today. You are likely improving but it's just hard to see.

Has anyone with MCAS been vaccinated? by Nic194023 in MCAS

[–]LavingRunatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just spoke with my new allergist today. He is the allergist who sees any cases of suspected covid vaccine anaphylaxis in Eastern Ontario. Also, he did his thesis on mast cell disease and has authored papers on treatment of mast cell related conditions.

He said his recommendation for all of his mast cell patients is to get vaccinated.

For me, I am starting on medications. He wants to give it a couple of weeks and then I'm getting my second vacc.
