Wild Flower Property management
I have been operating my new business for the past month and done well over 60 quotes for our community people, with only 7 carrying on to have work done. In some cases, I felt let down by the expectation from some, that I had to work for less than minimum wage and ignore all my financial obligations, as a business, to do that.
I now understand why a lot of small businesses struggle to survive. I can't afford to advertise for another month and go through another month like this.
Thank for those who enjoyed real old school service. I will be around still, but will use other ways of finding work, other that neighbourly.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
