There are a few things to consider here... I've been in the rest/bar business for years.  (What IS your JOB?) I would try, at least for a while, to do BOTH... starting your own business requires a lot of committment. (I own a Flower Shop and worked nites in the bar business to help pay the bills) If you are able my suggestion would be to keep a day job, and work the bar evenings... it would eleiminate the need for additional help and the tips could also be used to help with finances.  PLUS any bar that I have ever worked in has done better if the OWNER is actually a part of the team... rather than someone who comes in takes the money and makes the deposit.  You obviously like the industry... jump in w/ both feet and be available as much as possible... it is YOUR business - be as big a part of it as you can.

I've personally always known that I want my own business from being very young, which is why i'm in a crappy position at the moment after uni to decide what i want to do in the meantime to get the funds to set up my business...i want to be my own boss and not be told what to do and have to hold myself back.\n\nGood for you and good luck if that's what you decide to do.

I don't think that you should have to drop him as a client in order to have a relationship with him.  Business wise, there's no need in losing money like that and as far as your personal life goes, if he makes you feel loved or cared for, why miss out on the chance for your happiness?  The two of you should be able to separate business from personal, but if it's not possible, I say keep him as a client and date others.

I'd stick around a little while and feel it out.  I'm in a similar situation where I would much rather be doing another aspect of my job (which I'm good at doing and like much more), but there's not many people who are good at another aspect so I get stuck on it continually.  The management knows that I'm not happy there, so they're trying to find someone else (since they know I'll probably leave if they don't).\n\nIf it seems like with the next project he's getting dibs over you, then maybe it's time to approach your employer and ask why.  Who knows, they might training him because they have a bigger and better project for you in the works.

If you run your own firm, you are a business owner; there's just no way of getting around that.  If you're doing well enough, you might eventually HIRE a business manager to handle the office and staff for you, but starting out, if your name is on the door, it's your deal; like it or not.\n\nSince it's your profits, its in your best interest to learn to deal with it.  Lawyer, plumber, painter; whatever, business ownership is business ownership.  Many of the tasks are the same, only the industry and core knowledge changes.

Your relationship with your boss in only "Business". If you have taken it beyond that then .... no solution. \nAs long as there is only business ties between you both, you are not obliged to your boss beyond business. Find a job, give 2 weeks notice and walk out. \n--x--\nOr, you can find someone to replace you before you leave. Some one you know who needs a job, and you think would best fit the position. That way atleast you dont strand him, you give your friend a job, and you are peaceful.

Dating your Boss could be a real bad career move. I know several women that have done it & regret it today. One of them can't stop dating bosses. She now goes from job to job & sleeps her way to financial gain. However, all she is really a Slave to these ego maniacs. If you do it, be in control 100% of the time. Now for the Boyfriend. Follow your heart. Money isn't everything. Take it from somebody who had it all. With one wrong move it's so easy to lose both love & money. I'm not sure how old your boyfriend is but money comes with time. Keep your dignity. It's worth more than all the money in the world. God Love You!

Any time you merge companies, there will be a lot of detail that will change the time frame. (Nobody thought to figure out which company's coffee filters to use...)\n\nBecause you're in a state of flux, you have some options. Option one is that you can decide that the atmosphere is too uncomfortable there, so you can resign and move on. Option two is that you can hang in there and wait for all of the details to be ironed out - and while the corporations are doing that, you can be putting that 'business as usual' face on for your customers and the public. This option has rewards. For your faithful service during the transition period, the company will reward you with a severance package, which is a way of saying, "Thank you. We needed you, and you hung in there with us."\n\nBy the way, you now have a new target date of March '07. It's entirely possible that the new joint company will see that your department actually IS necessary, and they may offer you a long term employment. \n\nBest of luck to you. - Stuart

hi, it can be so frustrating working for others when you know you could be having the profit you make for them!\nYour partner should seriously consider the short course i run for adults in starting a small business & business planning. this seems ideal as your partner can study it from home around work and other commitments, and would cover issues like funding, finances and breaking even, market research, the product or service, marketing and adveritisng.\nfor more details see the website below...

You will have to decide to live with this situation or leave the company. If you choose to stay and continue taking the blame, eventually it will catch up to you and you will be fired for incompetence (which is probably a wild card your boss is hiding from you). My advice is to keep your job for now, but update your resumé ASAP and start sending it out. Also, and this is very important, document every single incident for which you have been blamed, including dates, times, names, locations, and a clearly written explanation detailing it. This will come in handy if your boss tries to pull a fast one on you.

I always try to stick it out for a year, but if you are truely unhappy and there are no changes to job that can make you happy then it's not a bad idea to call it quits.  If there are things in your work environment that need to be changed, talk to your boss and see what can happen.  It never hurts to ask. Don't forget to give at least a 2 week notice and ALWAYS have another job lined up before you quit your first one.

From one business owner to another... why in the world would you consider keeping someone on that is 1.) costing you money, 2.) costing you time and 3.) putting your name/company at risk by providing shoddy workmanship? She's in her trial phase and therefore you're under no legal obligation to keep her on! Cut ties now before you're in an even larger mess than you've already put yourself in the middle of!

Run Run away.  This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.  This has all the signs of being a future lawsuit against both the business partner and your husband, by the girlfriend.  You have answered your own question.  This women is not trustworthy so why put your business and your money at risk.  Say no even if you have to dissolve the partnership.  You will be better off financially and stress-wise.

Personally, I think you should first get a lawyer and explain of the situation. Amongst the two partners that will start the new business, decide what assets you will split, if the none weight puller will get any of those assets. Let him know in plenty of time that you are thinking of dissolving the current company, giving him time to consider other options. Depending on how much and how long it will take you to pay off the current assets, decide who gets what. If the deadbeat put in a fare share of capital, then its only fair he get a percent of that back. Let him know the company is not meeting its standard set forth that were thought in the beginning.

Ask your boss. They aren't yours anymore!\nWhy quit something and keep trying to control it?
