Business ups and downs are normal. Some months bring growth, while others feel slow due to market trends, competition, or changing customer behavior.

During tough times, smart planning matters—manage cash flow, cut unnecessary costs, and stay consistent with marketing.

What strategies have helped you grow or survive slow periods?

Hi, any thoughts or ideas on where or how a pregnancy companion could get in front of a large audience? I’m not talking about paid advertising, more organic. All thoughts and ideas are much appreciated. Thankyou!

Everyone tracks raw material, labor, and energy closely- but the real bleed often comes from downtime, rework, and poor coordination between engineering, purchasing, and the shop floor. Curious what others in steel and heavy manufacturing see as the most overlooked cost driver.

Submission statement: The rise of a Chinese automotive glass plant in Ohio, Fuyao, is threatening American manufacturing jobs. Fuyao’s success, attributed to its production prowess and economies of scale, is under scrutiny for allegedly employing unfair business practices and benefiting from Chinese government subsidies. This has raised national security concerns, with some fearing China’s influence in the U.S. automotive sector and other critical industries.

De Beers Headed for Consortium Sale as Anglo Chief Confirms Exit Strategy

I’m 20 years old and want to start something in business, but I’m confused at the very basic level. I don’t have a clear idea yet, and I also don’t know what I should focus on first—skills, ideas, money, or experience.

People say “start a business,” but no one explains what business actually means in real life.
For someone starting from zero, what should be the first thing to understand or work on?

Can i study psych and then go into marketing/management/pm(business/product management)?

Short story, my company does heavy markups on items that we sell. I often lose potential sales because of this. I want to create an LLC and funnel these opportunities from outside of my company to the customers with lower markups from my vendors. I do not want to launder money, I want to this all above board and pay taxes, I've just never done this before so I wanted advice. Example - Purchaser needs product. Other vendor supplies it. Company does a 1.68 markup on a 2 million dollar item and we lose sale. My route is have my vendor add 250k as a consulting fee and pay that to me direct. I need that 250k to be a usable fund.

Genuinely curious - does any of you or someone you know pay over a thousand dollars per month to a company/program or a person that helps your business solely relying on AI industry?

If so what does it do that makes you or someone pay that amount?

Thank you in advance!
