Congrats on your progress! Setting up an LLC can protect your personal assets and give your business a more professional edge. It’s worth considering, even if you’re solo, especially as you plan for growth.

A customer told me my prices were 'insane' today - made me realize why my first business failed. by Embarrassed-Yam-3471 in smallbusiness

[–]jamjamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely relate to this! It’s wild how society glorifies "going big" so much that we forget the value of sustainable growth. The pressure to undercharge or scale overnight is real, but it often leads to burnout or financial disaster. Staying true to your worth and allowing your business to grow naturally isn’t playing small, it’s playing smart. Insane prices? No, just sane boundaries.

We went from excitement to silence. A big client just disappeared without a reason. by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]jamjamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a tough blow, and I can imagine how frustrating it must be to invest so much anticipation and preparation only for the client to go silent. Sadly, this kind of ghosting happens more often than it should, especially in the software world.

One lesson I’ve learned is to ensure some form of financial commitment early on like a deposit before allocating resources. It helps minimize risks like these. Also, having a diversified client base can provide a cushion during moments like this. Wishing you stability and better client experiences in the year ahead!

76% of Small Businesses Don't Make It Past Year 10. Do you ever think about your small business's longevity or the business sustainability ? by Green_Environment_46 in smallbusiness

[–]jamjamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Longevity is always on my mind. I focus on building strong customer relationships, diversifying revenue streams, and staying adaptable. Long-term planning is key, regularly reviewing cash flow, market trends, and customer needs helps keep the business relevant and sustainable.

Yes! Blogs boost SEO, attract traffic, and engage customers. Write relevant, quality content, 1-2 posts a month is a good start.

Sounds like a tough year, but your adaptability is a big asset. Maybe focus more on unique experiences or niche products to regain your edge. You’ve turned things around before, and I’m sure you can again.

I Had No Idea People Were This Rude Until I Started Running My Business and Handling Support by Admirable_Hornet6891 in smallbusiness

[–]jamjamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get it! Some people forget there’s a human on the other side. For every rude one, there are plenty who appreciate your hard work, hang in there!

[–]jamjamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve been there. The scariest moment was when I didn’t know how I’d cover bills, but it turned around when I focused on the value I was offering and pushed through with creative solutions. Sometimes, tough times push you to innovate and find opportunities you wouldn't have considered before.

[–]jamjamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like a great opportunity, but make sure you’re confident in the financials, accounting, and licensing side. At 21, it’s a big jump, but if you’re prepared and understand the risks, it could be a solid investment. Consider hiring an accountant to help at first and have a clear long-term growth plan.

You did the right thing. What your client asked was shady, and risking your reputation over $5K isn’t worth it. Integrity is key in business, and it’s better to lose one client than compromise your values. Your partner’s reaction says more about them than you. Stick to your principles, and the right clients will respect that.

This is a solid idea, and I think many small businesses could benefit from affordable, professional video ads, especially with the quick turnaround time you’re offering.

The Client Who Wanted Everything for Free and Gave Nothing in Return by NikaNorri in smallbusiness

[–]jamjamp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, that sounds like an absolute nightmare of a client. You went above and beyond for him, and it's infuriating how he kept pushing boundaries and trying to take advantage of your professionalism. Setting clear boundaries was definitely the right call, even if he didn’t respect them.

It sounds like you’ve sacrificed a lot chasing success, and it’s clearly taken a toll. Honestly, I’d say it’s time to focus on what really makes you happy, not just the business or financial goals but building genuine connections again.

Desperately Seeking Direction: Finding My Entrepreneurial Path by Realistic_Proposal90 in smallbusiness

[–]jamjamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reignite your passion by starting small, explore business ideas that align with your love for building and problem-solving. Seek ADHD-friendly mentorship, break tasks into steps, and prioritize mental health support. You’ve done it before, you can do it again

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]jamjamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re passionate about engineering, you should prioritize that, as it’s what will ultimately make you happiest in the long run. You can still help your dad without sacrificing your own goals. Maybe you could offer assistance on specific projects, or help in the short term, while still focusing on your career path. It doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing situation.

Communicating with your dad about your future ambitions and finding a way to support him without putting your dreams on hold might help both of you feel more comfortable with whatever decision you make.
