    What Should I Do?

    What Should I Do?

    Hello, Some great ideas coming in from you both, thanks so much. In my local market the closest competition I have is knitted children's jumpers - it's all knitted. They are also locked into that as stalls are not able to change what they sell unless they obtain permission from the market...

    Thanks all for your messages. Can I simply get rid of her this week and take on somebody else or am I going to be landed in a whole load of legal issues?

    Drugs & Work

    I currently have a employee working full-time for me in the hair and beauty sector. She has admitted to taking drugs which she says doesn't do during work - only out of work. She was in possession of these tablets during work. We have talked to the individual about this, we feel her quality...

    Photography Ideas

    Hi, I was made redundant from work last week. I have a great passion for photography and have all of the kit for studio portrait work. This obviously is a time when I need to try as hard as I can to make a living. I'm pretty inexperienced in business but wondered if anyone could give me...
