Alright biz, so,
I have had my own business for several years.
As of now, it's a profitable business. Problem is, I am one person. I have a lot of work where if I did it, it would be you know, $30/hour, $25/hour in profit, but I don't have time for that stuff so it gets thrown into a scrap pile and sold for pennies.
I'm working 80 hours per week and not able to do this stuff that I've been scraping because there is all the other shit I need to do.
Right now business consists of,
>acquire the electronics (me)
>take them apart (me)
>create ebay adds (me)
>pack them all up (me)
>ship them all (me)
>deal with customers (me)
>accounting (me)
What's the best way I can employ someone to make some of my work, you know, go away?
Surely there is somewhere in the process where I can hand it to someone being paid $8/hour and that will free up my time to pursue the $30/hour work that I just throw away
But everytime I want to hire someone, I get cold feet. What if they steal my stuff? What do I actually trust them to do? What if I have them in charge of ebay adds and they list $50 units for $5? What if I put them in charge of packing and they don't pack properly and stuff is damaged in shipment?
etc

Your business is a bit more sophisticated than massproducing burgers... can you hire a younger cousin or sibling in an assistant capacity, so you can peak over their shoulder and check their work till they are up to speed?
>I have had my own business for several years.
You own a job*
Anyhow, if you want to hire someone look for someone with high intellect but no ambition and decent work ethic.

How many hours a week should I be working before I can officially not feel guilty about my work ethic? Is 9 hours a day, 7 days a week, fine?
20 hours a day, 4 days a week is the lower limit.

I have a question: wouldn't it make sense to have a regular job (or a business; working for yourself can be harder even if it isn't as demeaning most of the time) AND make my money work for me, so I have an employment history?

How can I be like this guy?
>>1012089
He started trading IPO's when he was 16 and he was very successful. Then he showed his track record to Goldman Sachs and they took him on board where he was in charge of tens of millions of dollars which he divided appropriately in the different sectors while always have 'emergency' funds in case something new popped up.
Then, he quit Goldman and kind of retired. I think a year later he began trading his own money for the heck of it, and then he was offered a TV trading show, which I'm sure...

What do you spend your money on, /biz/?
Not a fan of a vast majority of those shows but I'll give you credit for the Haruhi figures.
Still I would never actually buy any since my girlfriend and friends would be pretty weirded out by it. So I just spend my money on college, medical books, surgical tools and practice "dummies."

I have a weaken for old pennies. Even when I was a kid. I only difference is I only buy graded coins now or coins that I can get graded.
Just the bare necessities. Where my FIRE bros at?

>Good was a “unicorn,” that is, a private company with a valuation of more than $1 billion. The high valuation increased the paper value of employee shares — and thus the income tax bills levied on their stock when they received the stock grants, or when they bought and sold shares. To pay those taxes, some employees emptied savings accounts and borrowed money.

I don't fucking understand why anyone would ever work for someone else. Especially a fucking startup.
That's why I'm starting my own business :^) I'll be dead before I resign myself to being a fucking cuckold

Same. I've only ever had one boss. Summer job while in college. 17 years ago...

Ah, another NEET with big dreams of starting a business.
Yet just let us know when it inevitably fails or more likely, you don't have the balls to take a risk and work on your business, much more comfy sitting at mommie and daddie's house and calling people cuckolds huh.
If you had $2000 to invest, what would you do?
I would make more money
>>1010636
$2,000? You mean on top of a 15k security fund, 10k car fund, and 20% down payment for a house, right?
I'd invest 3/4 in my portfolio and wait next month for my next spare 2k.
Margin account. Regulated bucket shop with a negative balance protection who gives a good initial credit bonus, micro account if available. 2% of my total balance on a single position, for a max of two positions. Trend following system, ideally looking for trade ideas generating anything above 5R. Staying the fuck out of stocks/ETFs/pennies. Withdraw everyhting as soon as 10k goal gets hit, move up to a true ECN broker offering options, lowering total amount risked to 2% in total balance

22M great job but still leaving paycheck to paycheck. Hardly even have wasteful spending

"hardly even have wasteful spending"
you sound like one of those people that don't see their own faults
>>1009153
Havent Smoked in a while, cutting back on everything
>>1009155
Maybe stop discussing in general terms and have a look at some hard numbers? "Hardly ever" means you still do and "wasteful spending" is subjective. "Cutting back on everything" what the fuck is everything?
If you're not going to be real with yourself about your spending habits then you're just another broke wage slave. Different to no one else and so should not expect to "become successful", whatever the fuck that means.
