How to get people to work for me?

I've met people who own successful businesses (as in, they now make $500,000-$1,000,000/year). That's how it's going to be at the start, and it might stay like that for years. You're going to be tired and miserable. You'll think about quitting. Whether this is worth it or not, it's all up to you.

Defiantly! it's a hard process to start a business. People end up quitting due to low income. I'll be running my business as a side thing while having an actual job.

If you offer me a stable money flow, I'll come work.

But that is the hard part for a startup: stable money. This is what people are afraid of, when considering working for one.

I'm guess I'm kind of confused here. If you don't have enough business to keep yourself busy 90% of the time what are you going to be having your "employee" even do lol?

This entire thread sounds like it is doomed to fail. Sorry OP, but that's how I see it.

 

You want employees but you don't want to pay them. On top of that, you don't even have enough customers to actually put these slaves to work.

Also, you are somehow working 84 hours a week (minus time for breaks) yet you only have 2 or so customers a week.

 

I also question your use of time.

Assuming that each repair takes 3 hours (I don't know how long it takes you to fix the issues you run into) that's still 75 hours you spend on doing something else.

 

Remove 14 hours because you need to eat and have breaks (2 hours a day, for lunch, dinner and other pauses) and you end up with 61 hours a week.

You said that you started a month and a half ago so that's over 150 hours you've spent on setting up your website, mail server and made some social media accounts. Something doesn't add up...

 

Your primary focus right now should be getting customers. Not hiring more people, or messing around with servers (assuming they are working right now, which they better should after spending so much time on them).

I've worded this all wrong. Now I'm working less hours. I'm currently applying for jobs. I've made a new post which is here:
