I spent months focusing on the things in my business and my business cost me more, than just money. kept chasing ideas tweaking small details and learning new skills but I never fixed the problems that hurt revenue in my business. Looking back I was busy, but not productive.For owners what is one mistake that made you completely change the way you run your business?

I am trying to find out as much as possible before I start the process. Yes, I have an account but I need to learn the general process.

The company has been dormant for over a year. There is some money left in the bank from previous year. Taxes all paid for, no income. Do I need to take the remaining funds as distribution? As I remember from somewhere that it is not OK to get distribution unless you are receiving a salary. I am retired. What are done dos and donts?

Thanks

There is an upcoming event(19 September )in my clg for students who are passionate about building something.

The time limit to pitch the idea is 10 minutes.

I have all data related to pitch ready i.e documentation, problem statement, our solution, revenue model, analysis of our competitors too.

I am a male of age 22. By profession I am a student. I want to start up something or seeking a business opportunity/idea. I have no idea what to do where to start from. Kindly give the suggestion in the senerio.

Question: Every hire or tool feels like a cost until it isn't, but what made it click for you?

I’ve been struggling with quitting nicotine for a while, and I’ve been thinking about whether there’s a better way to make the process easier.
One idea I’ve been considering is a device that gradually reduces the amount of nicotine someone receives over time, rather than requiring them to quit at the same level immediately.
I’m curious what people who have tried quitting think about this approach. Would gradually reducing nicotine through a device actually make quitting easier, or would it just prolong the dependence?
What problems do you think something like this would need to solve to actually be useful?
I’m mainly interested in hearing honest opinions from people who have experience with nicotine addiction and quitting.

Apparently, India is working on a system where AI agents could make small UPI payments for you without asking for approval every single time.

So theoretically your AI could eventually:

• reorder groceries

• pay subscriptions

• book things for you

• make routine purchases within a set limit

Convenient? Definitely.

But giving an AI permission to actually spend your money feels like a completely different level of trust 😭

Would you use this if your bank/UPI app offered it?

And what's the maximum amount you'd ever let AI spend without asking you first?

interesting comment made to me today; someone i work with told me they once heard that you have to "screw the customer a little bit" to make more profit, and that seems totally ok to them

how true is this and is it as regarded as i think at face value?
