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?

Business owners-what advice would you give yourself if you could go back in time when you first started?

If you could go back in time and talk to yourself when you just started out what would you tell him/her? What advice would you give?

I am planning on starting my own business for the first time ever and it’s gonna be online. Since I am a beginner i was hoping y’all could share some wisdom you gained throughout your journey, advices. (And even if you don’t do business feel free to still drop your advice)

I’ve been trying to find a new business for months but still feel completely stuck. I enjoy building brands, creating content, testing ads and seeing real sales, so I’d preferably like to create a physical product that I’d genuinely enjoy working on.

Please don’t just say “find a problem and solve it” or “I worked in the industry and saw an opportunity.” I want to understand your actual thought process. What made you notice the opportunity, why did you choose that particular product, and how did you determine why customers would buy yours instead of the existing alternatives?

I’m also curious how you knew you would enjoy building the business long term. Did you already love the product category, or did it become interesting once you started developing the product and brand?

I’m not asking anyone to give me an idea. I want to understand how people went from feeling completely lost to choosing a business that felt both enjoyable and capable of selling.

Hello. I am a male with the age of 22 studying ACCA. I want to start up my own setup or business. But so much confused. What type of business should I start along with studies in order to fulfil the social need and optimal amount of earning. The additional point is that my father also get retired from his services. Now he also wants any activity based model that helps to get social activities related need and optimal amount of earning. Kindly viewer give your valuable suggestions on the scenario.

I’m 19 and a student in Pakistan. I have around 20k PKR every month that I can save, sometimes a little more.

I want to do something with it instead of just letting it sit there or spending it. I’m thinking about starting some kind of small business, buying and reselling something, investing it, or doing anything else that could eventually turn into a decent source of income.

I know 20k isn’t a lot, and I’m not expecting to make huge money immediately. I just want to start somewhere and keep putting money into it every month.

If you were in my position, what would you do with 20k PKR a month? I’d really appreciate actual ideas, especially from people who have tried starting something with a small amount of money in Pakistan.
