What are the chances if I quit my 60 hour a week job and put 60 hours a week into a business that it would be successful.
I am a Master of Accounting graduate and have good fundamental business knowledge. I’m wondering if anyone could help guide me in what to expect if I went all in for two weeks.

Beleggen met cash dat in vennootschap zit
Hallo allemaal,
In de familie kijken we naar de opties voor overtollige cash binnen een vennootschap die voor minstens 10 jaar niet nodig is voor de werking.
Welke mogelijkheden zien jullie voor een langtermijnhorizon als deze? En hoe pakken andere ondernemers dit in de praktijk aan?
Alvast bedankt voor jullie visie en ervaringen.

AI customer service? A bad idea born business leaders who are in touch with their bottom lines but out of touch with their customers
open letter to business leaders & business owners
if you use AI as part of your customer service experience, then you risk alienating and angering your customers be warned:
Nobody wants to talk to a smart AI customer support assistant on the phone.
Nobody wants to talk to a customer AI support chatbot.
Nobody. Not a single person.
staff your customer support team with an adequate supply of human beings preferably from the country they are calling from you obnoxiously over thrifty fools.

Is taking a pay cut to work in a field you are passionate about worth it?
I currently work a remote corporate job as an event director for a large trade show company, which requires a good amount of travel. I make six figures. I’ve worked for this company for almost 10 years and am getting so drained from the constant stress. It’s at the point where I dread working and dread the travel.
I have been a life long recreational ballet dancer, and when I moved to my current city 2 years ago, started taking classes at local studio. I fell in love with the studio and was even approached my the owners to see if I’d be open to teaching ballet classes to their younger performance teams. I’ve been teaching for a few months and love it.
I was recently in casual conversation with one of the owners, who I’ve become close with, and mentioned I’m burnt out at my current day job and have been looking for something different. To my surprise, she said she has been needing a studio operations manager for some time but has held off hiring anyone because she’s had a hard time finding candidates that have strong business acumen. The owner is very entrepreneurial and has recently opened a 2nd location, partners with local arts programs, etc. She said she would love to have me in the role. I know my experience could help her scale her business, clean up operational processes, bring in new partnerships and revenue streams, etc, but it would be a significant pay cut. Like 35%. I am married, and my husband makes around what I would make at the studio. So we are a dual income household, but it would still be a significant cut. My husband is supportive of whatever I choose.
It would be great to work for a business I believe in and am passionate about, to make a difference in and feel more connected to my local dance community, to not have to travel for work, and still get to teach regularly (even increase how much I can teach).
Has anyone here changed careers and took a significant pay cut to work in a field they were passionate about? How did you feel about it? Was it worth it?

Learning from stock trades
I’m looking for a tool that helps me learn how successful my stock trades were. It’s easy to be happy after selling a stock for a profit, but what if a lower-risk ETF would have gone up more over the same period?? Suddenly I’m not so smart
Heck, Schwab doesn’t even show annualized % gain for the stocks I own, so the “up 300%” looks amazing but I have to compare it to the timeframe, which gets complex if I’ve been buying lots over time.
Lastly people forget to take taxes into account. Sometimes it’s better to sell after 8mo and pay short-term cap gains tax, but I have to do all this math myself. Obviously it won’t know my entire tax situation but it could estimate if I give it the brackets I’ll probably end up in.
Is there a portfolio tool that can help me here?

Did anyone just kind of stop looking? I was able to get a job not in my field for not much money after 10 months and now I've just stopped looking. I apply online passively but...
I'm happy to have something but the market is so bad with no end in sight that I'm just going through the motions but I've lost the will to live honestly.
