Have you tried the mall? Or the park?

Thanks, Sourcecode. Mall, not for me. Park, sounds like a good idea! Which parks do you recommend?

Also, just came back from Szimpla Kert. Too many drunk male tourists and hard to approach there. Is there any other good place(s) that's open all days with a more local crowd? Great thread, Buda (and Pest) is certainly good for its compactness. Just need to unravel the city for my approach.

EDIT: Also, if there are good places close to Szimpla Kert, I'm all ears. Then it's easier to "make the rounds" and try to make a "swoop", if the aforementioned doesn't pan out.

^^^Sales- If you arent willing to sale you'll never make a dime you'll end up closed, shuttering doors and living in a van down by the river. Or worse you'll go back to working for the man.

No argument there. I leaned sales by going out and doing it. I also learned that it's easy to do when you have a product everyone wants and not so easy when you have to beg people to take your product. Sales does not come easy to me as I tend toward the introverted side. If you have a flamboyant personality, it might be easier.
Too many damn companies think anyone can be trained to do sales, which is why it sucks when you walk into a Big Box store and five clerks jump on your ass to sell you a TV. Yes anyone can be trained, but they often suck at it. Sales is situational. I rocked selling major brand electronics and sucked at selling jewelry to women. I sold industrial services and quit because, there wasn't enough money in it.

Its not so much about selling something that everyone wants as much it is as selling something enough people need. I went into a field that every business in the world needs, therefore I have unlimited opportunities. If youre selling something nobody wants you my friend are in the wrong business, but to back what you said 100% every business owner must be able to sale or open to learning to sale. I can take a person and make them a decent sales person but I understand the process of sales and the process of training sales people though I have years experience in sales and in multi level marketing....

Scaling before your ready. I think hiring employees and finding good employees is one of the toughest parts of growing your business. It sounds corny to say but that Marcus Limonis on The Profit talks about process, process, process. If your working by yourself you can get by "whinging it" however when you bring in other people you can't have new, inexperienced people whinging it nor is it a good way to communicate amongst your team when everyone is whinging it. Until you have yoru process down you can't bring others into it.

You could not be anymore correct hiring the right people and training them correctly is a skill set that any business owner must learn. You must come up with the correct policies, and procedures as its the only way your business will survive you must be able to duplicate yourself as you will hit a point where you cannot do it all by yourself and you should cross train youre employees every chance you are given. I started my business close to 6 years ago but quit my job to do it full time 3 years ago, just me a magic jack and a desktop in my basement now we have 10 full time employess and hundreds of subs to work our many projects and with out putting the right processes, policies, and procedures in place it would be a huge cluster fuck.
