Hi everyone! I’ve just filed my first LLC & am planning to open a vintage boutique in my city- I’m completely new to owning a legitimate business of my own. I thought this would be a great question to ask as I know I’ll be making many mistakes in my first year of business.

Please feel free to comment your favorite mistake!

    Do not let your overhead creep up. You will get 1000 sales calls a day from someone offering some product to improve your buisness. Be cautious.

      Caveat here: sometimes they can actually deliver value. Don’t let them decide if their tool can deliver value or not, but sometimes a little self reflection and research is warranted.

      When in doubt, though, just ignore them, lol

        I totally agree. I have a clover system (worst choice I’ve ever made). I get the scammiest calls for payment processing and cash discount programs, and the “visa and mastercard update” this is a sales call. They are annoying.

      This, you need to say no to every salesman that is looking to sell you something. Remember you are new, they aren’t.
