How do you prepare your business so you can take time off around holidays/vacations/family events?

Brand new single post divorce. Was with ex almost 18 years and never dated as an adult. What the hell am I in for? 35f.

Talking to the opposite sex at the gym: yes or no? (Or same sex)

Joined a new firm at the start of this year but it’s not a good fit and I want to leave for a different role type. Will it look bad to potential employers if I leave this company after 6 months? I was with my prior employer for 2.5 years before this.

MBB folks, I’m a Product Manager (non-tech company) and interested in working at MBB.

Which level/role does MBB can offer me ?

someone please save me from ad agency land 😩 im a catch of a hire for a data analyst. i specialize in marketing measurement 📊

How’s the freelance producer market doing these days? Busy, slow?

Looking for new team members! @covelle_company Boston Real Estate Team.

I put in a lot of effort to show my client properties that fit their requirements, but they ended up working with a different agent just because they wandered across an open house. I'm so frustrated right now. Has anyone else experienced this?

As a realtor, how do I find better commissions? The office I work in has only offered me low-tier listings, and they bring zero to none commission. I want to change that but don't know where to start. Any advice?

How did you get into real estate?

Currently, I have a "sales drought." It's been 2 months that I have not achieved anything and everyone tells me it's normal, but I feel it will be forever. Since I started, I have done very well, but now I do not know what is happening- nothing works as before.

Anyone got the skinny on Alix consulting?

Got pinged by a recruiter for an MD role in digital transformation

He claims they compete with MBB and Alvarez.

Thoughts?

Our employee satisfaction survey is tied to our performance goals. Meaning, if we rate management badly, we cannot meet 10% of our goals which in turn affects our bonuses and raises. We asked HR but they didn’t do anything about it. Is this normal? Is this legal? If not, what else can we do about it?

Just curious but what area does everyone here live? I'll start, in in the village

I feel left out in my firm. How do I make 'friends' with my colleagues? I've been here for a year. I am naturally not a very out going person, was never 'cool' and I struggle to speak in group situations / make engaging conversation with higher ups. It is an important trait to have in this job and I just don't know how to do this. It makes me very upset - I even sought therapy but wasn't useful. I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(

Anyone have a good PE specialist financial advisor?

For those who are established, what steps did you take to ensure consistent growth? One thing that has always deterred me is how often businesses fail. I'm looking for an exit opportunity and have been considering building my own thing for a while. Thanks!!

Hello small business owners! How many of you have an exit plan in place to harvest the wealth you’ve built and make sure your family is taken care of? Stats show that the vast majority of business owners have never thought to make a plan.

At my firm we always tell clients “Everyone leaves their business eventually. Whether you do it standing up or lying down is up to you!”

I have a daycab with no plates or MC numbers and I heard there were companies that provide their authority for my truck and great pay. does anyone know what companies do this ?

🥊 It's time for a showdown! If you HAD to choose between ETSY, EBAY, and SHOPIFY. Which would you choose and why? Feel free to leave suggestions for those just starting out on the platforms too. We'll see who the winner is on Friday. 🥊

I'm working on a pitch deck, for an event that I'm planning next year for my wine brand called OBA, but I'm struggling to come up with sponsorship ideas.

I don't want to go the traditional route of creating tiers, because I feel like you should do most of the things in tiers regardless on how much they donated. Can anyone assist with coming up with some ideas?

Also, does anyone know how to create a virtual swag bag?

Thanks in advance.

Wondering if there are marketing people who work with companies to earn a commission? Does this exist? Does anyone have any experience with this? What are your thoughts? Considering something like this for my fashion business.

Thinking of starting a tutoring business franchise, like Sylvan, KUMON, or Mathnasium. Do these businesses usually suffer during economic downturns like a recession?

I'm glad there's now a bowl for small business owners.

What are your top 3 challenges that you face?

I'll start. I own a wine business for background information.

1. Getting people to buy wine virtually
2. Shipping cost
3. Supply

Anyone been to a small business expo? Been in business for about a year, not doing great but not doing horrible. Think I could benefit from others' expertise and some networking. Worth it or just join a Facebook group or something?

Where's the best place to search for business grants or other sources of funding that's not a loan?

Company background: minority-owned wine business, NJ based
