Your small restaurant is building a classy reputation - the name of the restaurant is Wilkin’s (after your pretend last name… trust me). Recently, there was another restaurant on the news that wouldn’t let handicapped people in or make their establishment handicapped-accessible because they weren’t “part of their target market.” This put the media in […]
Business was booming. You had the market cornered with your website on custom pet food, but now people have really stolen your thunder. Your visits have seen a sharp decline over the past few months and your sales have decreased by over 30%. Your website looks OKAY… but not as clean as your competitors’ sites. […]
Sometimes it is hard to sleep. In fact, if you are not managing your time just right, you will find your sleep/work schedule has turned upside down. So you have pulled an all-nighter, it’s mid-afternoon, and you have to finish up your plans for the day before retiring to the bed. Unfortunately, you have an […]
This isn’t much of an “Oh Crap” situation as it is a basic decision: planes, trains or automobiles? You have been working with a shipping company for a long time, but since gas prices have gone up… so have shipping rates. Trucks have recently gotten quite expensive, and doing long hauls (of over 1,000 […]
You started a business selling small appliances with a friend, but recently communication has been a bit dry. He’s been going over your head and making financial decisions that directly affect the company without consulting you. You feel like your grasp is slipping away and you aren’t sure how to approach him. What should you […]
The flu is going around and, of course, you get it (why didn’t you get your flu shot?!). What are you supposed to do for two weeks? You are bedridden. Luckily you have one person working for you who usually picks up your slack, but how can you hire someone else without being able to […]
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 […]
