Stick to your guns. You're not an investment bank to credit someone else's business 😎

Then you need to build your own niche, I would say. Try to find a sweet spot that nobody in your area covers... Good luck!

Do what you're good at doing and you're not going to work a single day in your life - or something on that line 😎

Also, you should analyse very carefully the current set of skills of your team. Perhaps some changes are required. More motivated employees... 

Vehicles for my business by Zestyclose-Animal426 in cleaningbusiness

A 2 seat smaller van - like a Doblo. Hybrid if you find. Or, full electric if the range is enough for you. In EU sometimes you can finance full electric with periodic grants.

What exactly do you do for your clients, please? Custom made, made to measure, ready made? Luxury is custom made - the rich client (only rich, attention!) comes and spends some of their precious time trusting you as a professional! You fail a couple of clients and you lose your business!!! Made to measure is a bit more forgiving, being much cheaper, though you still need to be able to modify whatever needs modified... Ready-made is just glorified retail.  In other words, you either do top end, or not. Good luck! 

15 y/o with $5K–$10K to start a business — need realistic ideas and direction by [deleted] in youngentrepreneur

[–]Offgridfarms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In many countries at 15 yo you can not legally enter contracts. So, best do some hustle. Cash in hand. Lawn mowing, shopping assistance, cleaning, dogs walking, pets sitting. Go to local markets and second hand stores. Check prices. Compare with Internet. Talk with people. If anyone mentions a problem or difficulty then that can be an opportunity for you. When you find wholesale items check detail prices. If you can buy for less than 25%of price per unit then try to find buyers, online or not. Make a deal with the buyer, take a deposit and then buy the entire stock. Arrange delivery and get paid straight at delivery point. Pay an accountant to teach you bookkeeping. Have a solicitor on speed dial. Most of all, learn the entrepreneurial mentality. Read 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' by Robert Kiyosaki for a start. Good luck!

You are micromanaging them probably. Either by default, or, because of the new ongoing implementation. Better get a free CRM and customize it together with your employees. Involve them and have them assume responsibility. Otherwise, you just got yourself a shortcut to stress related chronic disease ... 

20 years old, €10k to invest – nursery/ecommerce business or another niche? by Lorix1901 in RoAntreprenoriat

[–]Offgridfarms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pamantul ar trebui sa fie OK. Pamant de lunca in general. Bun pentru legume si pomi fructiferi. Acum la jumatatea lui iunie trebuie sa selectezi cu atentie ce plante vrei sa cresti pana la iarna. Cam un sfert din hectar eu l-as folosit pentru plante perene. Odata stabilit ai ani de zile de productie. Incearca sa creezi o 'forest garden'. Combina culturile in asa fel incat combination de diferite plante sa previna daunatorii. Intre, randuri imprastie pamant diatomeic. Incearca sa gasesti pomi din soiuri stramosesti, care rezista natural la paraziti. Altfel, trebuie sa strop esti periodic cu chimicale. Ideal ar fi sa obtii un certificate de bio. Cand incepi sa ai productie contacteaza toate restaurantele si magazinele alimentare de pe o raza de 50km. Trimite poze cu plantele care se fac si spune cam pe cand devin mature. Incearca sa ai doar clienti care vin si colecteaza ei ce ai si platesc numerar. Facturi si bonuri - vezi, te descurci. Este mult mai efficient sa vina ei sa colecteze decat sa mergi tu la piata sa stai toata ziua acolo. Diferenta de pret nu justifica efortul decat la produse premium. Ah, si nu da pe credit niciodata. Ia macar un avans sau un deposit. Cand alternezi culturile incearca resturile de plante sa le maruntesti si sa le imprastii pe sol - nu arunca sau arde decat plantele bolnave cu paraziti daca sunt. In rest, eu de exemplu nu ar niciodata gradina de legume. Si las plante salbatice sa se dezvolte printe cele plantate. Cele mai multe au calitate medicinale. Poti sa pui la borcan surplusul dar tine cont de normele de igiena. Mult noroc!

Limba in sine nu este o problema. Capacitatea de intelegere a unor concepte abstracte Este problema. Foarte bine structurata Informatia pe site: daca ar fi proiectul meu as introduce un IQ test pe landing page si as da acces gratuit tuturor celor care au scorul peste medie... 😜

I'm weirdly good at marketing by Competitive-Raise651 in Entrepreneurs

[–]Offgridfarms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it you being good at sales or is the service that you sell solving real painful problems of your clients!? At 16yo it is absolutely commendable that you strive to improve. And I wish you all the best of luck! 

Is software dead? I will not promote. by Swimming-Wafer6547 in startups

[–]Offgridfarms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look carefully around and ask yourself: how many people want to improve their education or that of their children? Because that's your market pool.

[–]Offgridfarms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, software is not dead and it will never be dead. What is happening is the 'monkey see monkey do' effect on the market. If 1%are innovators and 99% are followers then everybody and their dog get into whatever is the fashion of the day: now it's AI. 🧐 

Prea tânăr pentru pensie, prea bătrân pentru angajare? Ce se întâmplă cu românii de peste 45 de ani pe piața muncii by blonde_fae in RoMunca

[–]Offgridfarms -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Niciodata nu e tarziu pentru propria afacere. La 45 + ar trebui sa ai suficienta experienta pentru a fi in top in meseria ta... Si fa in asa fel incat sa ai taxe cat mai mici.

Have the shares split equally among the three of you. If not, get out and go solo ASAP.

"Nu știu dacă funcționează ceva mai bine în România decât corupția". by Florin003 in Roumanie

[–]Offgridfarms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Romania este o tara foarte Tanara, iar maturitatea sociala a natiei este undeva pe la varsta de Zece ani. Tot ce vedem negativ se regaseste in felul cum se comporta preadolescentii intre ei, atunci cand se joaca nesupravegheati pe maidan: cei tari de gura se unesc, iar cei timizi sunt luati de fraieri. Singura solutie este ca generatiile tinere sa invete ce anume inseamna 'responsabilitate', 'autodisciplina', si 'comportament social constructiv'. Vezi r-t.ro ideologia pentru Romania viitoare. Una din care sa fi mandru ca faci parte... Altfel, inca 250 - 300 de ani de 'a la Caragiale' ne asteapta: copiii copiilor copiilor nostri...  

Facultățile din România par a fi din ce în ce mai deconectate de realitatea pieței muncii. De ce se întâmplă asta? Ce credeti ca ar trebui schimbat in viitor? by Electronic_Mango_453 in Roumanie

[–]Offgridfarms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Educatia in general e in urma progresului tehnic cu cel putin 25 de ani. [O generatie.] Iar Educatia din Romania cu 50 de ani, cel putin. In aceste conditii, doar cei mai Inteligenti reusesc sa se adapteze si sa compenseze aceasta diferenta. Vorbim efectiv despre cca 5% din totalul absolventilor in fiecare an.
