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!

    Absolutely.

    Plus you don’t want to have the reputation of being able to be pushed around either. Working with customers is good but having a hard line is gooder.

      Yeah absolutely- I bent over backwards for this customer, and turns out she repaid me by taking advantage of me. Wanted to negotiate on price after we’d signed the contract.

      It’s a shame because I’ve now become firmer with other customers across the board, maybe a little too firm. People really are shit. You need to protect yourself, because no body else will and people will take advantage.
