PeterJames Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 any business is only as good as the people working in it at any given time,from top to bottom Yes your right Gaz, but sometimes you employ an idiot that lies his way through the interview, and it takes a while to find out he's an idiot because one you dont want to believe that your that stupid to take on an idiot, two he is quite good at covering his tracks he may be an idiot but that doesnt mean he is stupid, if he was an idiot and stupid you would have spotted that straight away in the interview, and lastly if you are a nice boss you will give him the benefit of doubt, and a chance to prove you wrong. But I will never employ someone with those traits again which doesnt mean I wont employ another idiot but the idiot wont be as much of an idiot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always known it but sometimes idiots are hard to spot, and even though you believe that everyone should have a chance, But dont just take my word for it ask any employer here, we have all employed an idiot or two, the last idiot I employed has gone on to work for four more employers, and he has been with the last one for nearly a year now, they must know he's an idiot by now it only a matter of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont comment if your going to be negative please I admire your guts, but remember 4 out of 5 new businesses fail in the first year. Gaz is giving you good advise, my first business failed miserably, and I had over ten years experience before I went it alone again, I had managed other peoples businesses for several years too, 14 years on and I am still learning new stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz is giving you good advise, my first business failed miserably, and I had over ten years experience before I went it alone again, I had managed other peoples businesses for several years too, 14 years on and I am still learning new stuff Why did your first business fail? I know 4 out of 5 business fail but that's due to lack of knowledge and resources. They obviously jump the gun without the correct resources etc. However I'm prepared, I have all the paperwork, company name, sales literature and other literature and so on. All I need now to do now is van, insurance and advertisement but I'm taking my time planning and doing it carefully making sure I don't miss anything so I'm not setup to fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
