R.I.P. Stacktron

You all saw it coming: Stacktron is dead. Now before you all start to riot because of such a travesty, let me explain:

Stacktron was on financial breaking point. We had money and people willing to give us money, but the issue was we were paying for things we really didn't have to pay for in the first place. Some of it was approached incorrectly, a lot of it was broken (constant server issues, etc.) and when we were first starting it I was convinced against my own instinct to do certain things, (like write a bloody business plan), and because of that I will no longer be doing business with those individuals as I have learned they have horrible business sense.

IT'S NOT ALL BAD THOUGH!

Okay, so we were gonna go down in about a week when I got a Skype message about buying Stacktron. We didn't have many clients, but the guy wanted to buy it for the clients. So, we took the deal, because why not.


Moral of the story is, trust your own instinct kids.

Now because I'm so incredibly interesting you're all most likely thinking, "What now Mr. Warren Buff---err, I mean Owen?" The answer is simple. I don't know. To be completely honest I'm probably gonna hang low and silently do something with someone else. I won't talk about it to anyone until it's launched and ready. We'll see. Until then my fellow business people! ;D

Advice for new business

Hi..I have emigrated from South Africa to Manchester UK. Back home in SA I had a waste removal business. I believed strongly in advertising and this was a successful marketing action that worked well for me. 90% of my ads were local newspapers in different areas and Gumtree. I've spent a lot of money in Manchester and my response for advertising is extremely poor. As a service related business, can anybody steer me in the right direction. At the moment Gumtree is my best form, but not enough business. Many thanks

importance of Entrepreneurial

Entrepreneurs are the backbone of the society. They change the way we live and work. If successful, their innovations may improve our standard of living. In addition to creating wealth from their entrepreneurial ventures, they also create jobs opportunities for the society and the conditions for a prosperous society. They do investment in community projects and provide financial support to local charities. This enables further development beyond their Owen ventures. They also offer new and improved services, products or technologies which help in the growth of business that creates new opportunity of income generation.
The following are the reasons why entrepreneurs are important to the economy;
• Entrepreneurs Create New and Unique Businesses
• Entrepreneurs Add to National Income
• Entrepreneurs Also Create Social Change
• Community Development by involvement in different fields.
• Entrepreneurship provides strength to small business

Entrepreneurs drive social innovation and transformation in various fields including education, health, human rights, workers’ rights, environment and enterprise development. They undertake poverty alleviation objectives with the zeal of an entrepreneur, business practices and dare to overcome traditional practices and to innovate.

Please feel free to share your thoughts in the form of comments.

Thanks,
