"if you own a business then you did not make it successful, somebody else did."

That's true in a sense that customer loyalty is what makes a business successful.

It may be true!

Yeah and you can be the owner but no the creator of a business. Just because you own it, doesn't mean you created it what it is. You may just be following some one elses blue prints.

Be wary of a business where the customer works against you half the time! In the pet industry the customer is usually the pet's worst enemy. People think fish are just a bunch of things you keep in a cube of water and you can just pack them all in just because you like a lot of fish in your tank... yep, that's why they will kill and eat each other, or like many doomed house plants die from a lack of or improper care. My favorite is overfeeding to the point the filters get fouled!

I was expected to walk on water AND juggle chainsaws for someone else's business! Business is like a machine. You either put the components together and do the maintenance or your machine breaks down and gets sold for scrap. You really are dependent at a certain scale on others besides customers. Then come your suppliers, administration, cost maintenance, ACCOUNTING! Business is a convoluted process and depends on many factors to be successful but it takes the owner to make it work!

Yeah and the people that built the roads. That's really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

? So, you think only one person can make a business successful?

It's true that if you have employees then you have help but you are the one building the business not them.

It takes more than one person to build a business.

maybe, but the owner is the one that made/makes the decisions that made the customers want to spend their money there... he also decided who to hire and who not to. if he is a bad decision maker, then his business will fail...

Or, they could just be the one that pays the bills and has other people make the decisions for him.

You're not understanding.

But WHAT do you have to DO to BUILD a business that commands customer loyalty?

DOPE.

Aye but the loyalty of the businessperson to their customers is what engenders customer loyalty.

A sucessful businessperson builds because of their works.

Depends on the person, but THIS person you are talking about is a Flippin moron.

another Ruse to up the Taxes!
Cough it up,since you haven't created it!
Oldest trick in the Collectivist Arsenal!

I am guessing here you are not an Obama fan. Yep, the more intelligent ones in the world are not in politics, that is a given.

A team of skilled professionals that make up a businesss, it's not just one person.

Read the TOS btw.

I didn't invent the trade.
I put all the shelving and inventory in.
I paid taxes on all the machines and inventory.

The customer, if you are in sales or service, is who pays the salary and builds the business.

The Gov just takes.

The Gov., I compare to the welfare leeches in the country. They just consume and don't contribute. Then, the fatter they get, the more they want. The more friends and family they put on the dole, the more they demand from the tax payer.

We need a tax payer revolt and vote all the politicians a flat, 2,000.00 a month salary and they buy their health coverage from the oBlowmecare Corp.
