You have a business opened in the middle of downtown and the city says they need to work on some water pipes below your building. They have found some leaks which could potentially cause water contamination or other, more complicated issues. Unfortunately, the city insists on working on it immediately - so you have to […]
Your site is up and you’re getting steady hits. Finding new ways to allow users to interact with your website is increasing your hits steadily. One feature, in particular, is the chat box. You have a few dedicated members of your site who continuously and actively use your chat box. Unfortunately, […]
You opened up a sub sandwich-making franchise and you operate it locally. You have two employees who seemed like perfect candidates when they were first interviewed; but you can’t judge a book by its… interview. Customers are turned away because your employees act like they don’t want to work when you aren’t there (it’s like […]
You worked hard to get where you are. 3 years ago you decided you want to run a business with a friend - a translating business. This software automates localization (whoa!). In other words, it translates documents and software into any language within 95% accuracy. Pretty accurate, if you ask me.
Your friend really […]
So you’re in college and running a business out of your dorm. You created a cool new social networking site and you have over 300 users. With your ad revenue, purchasing bandwidth isn’t an issue (especially since this is the cheapest host you could get, with your bandwidth limit increasing each month). The main problem […]
I wish this was just a fabricated scenario. Here’s what happened:
-Someone SOMEHOW got my password to my Paypal account
-Someone withdrew over $3,000 from my checking/Visa account through Paypal
-I say “What the floop?” … well, I didn’t say exactly that, but I am sure you can imagine what I did say
So I IMMEDIATELY call Paypal and […]
I recently went to a social gathering and saw a guy I used to work with. We had worked on a site, published it online under everyone’s name, and planned on completing this project. Lo and behold, this guy drops out - unfortunately, he was the coder! The idea from the site came from […]
Your company’s sales have never been better ever since you went out to hire help. Frank is your go-to guy in sales. You recently hired him after you decided to expand your business. His résumé was put together incredibly well and he had a long list of references. With his charismatic approach and a […]
Sometimes it is better to leave a dangerous area… at least, that is what you’re considering after hearing about the latest crime rate in your area. You run a small general store in an area that used to be crime-free. Just yesterday you saw your neighbor’s business with a shattered window. Of course, you are […]
So I made the last “Oh Crap” 12 again because I wanted to skip over 13 (no one called me out!)… because I can be careless sometimes, too.
So you are talking to a big lead for your business, and you rely on your cell phone as your main method of communication since you are always […]
