Sales Executive
Dealing with clients who have unrealistic expectations. They often want to see properties that are way outside their budget or have a list of demands that are difficult to meet in their desired area. It can be challenging to manage their expectations while still trying to find solutions that make them happy. Sometimes, despite all my efforts, clients end up disappointed, which can be really disheartening. It feels like I'm constantly balancing their dreams with the reality of the market.

Manager
The biggest pain point we see today is the silos in supporting health care as a whole. Each department in a single health system can be so disparate from the other that it makes supporting the continuum of care more difficult than it should be. It also makes the support of each department from a technology department even more difficult.
Adam
Accountant
My biggest issue is that I rely on clients providing me with their tax paperwork in order to prepare their returns. They often procrastinate or have trouble locating the documents resulting in a backlog of returns that need to be prepared last minute before the due date.
Paul
Founder
I don't like thinking about finances, I wish there was a way for me to fully focus on helping people, and not be tied down to fundraising. We also can't hire someone just for fundraising right now, we don't have enough coming in.

I want to create print on demand clothing and accessories but there are millions like me. How do I find something meaningful in this market? I so want to target office goers because they have been ignored by the fashion industry so much. People who work from offices need cool designs and clothes but they need to be professional looking and non offensive.

I'm a Co-founder of a travel website for award bookings. My problem is more PR related. Even though our site is faster than all the other sites at searching for points flights, and has features that no other sites have. We still can't get high reaching PR. No Journalists or editors care about special features nowadays. Can anyone help?

Hi, I'm helping doctors with their social media ads and thinking about adding a basic CRM service. My plan is to send personalized reminders to patients using the doctor's client database. Do you think Mailchimp is the right tool for this? Any ideas on what other services I could offer?

This cyberattack disrupting insurance processing at pharmacies is causing chaos for healthcare businesses. Patients are being forced to pay out of pocket for critical care because insurance claims aren't going through. It's not just affecting one pharmacy, it's a widespread issue impacting multiple states. How can I ensure patient care isn't compromised while dealing with cyber threats?

Oliver
I need some quick advice before I call my lawyer. I run a business in CA, and one of my employees is starting a competing venture on the side. They've filed paperwork, contacted our vendors, and tried to steal clients – all while on the clock. I've got clauses in their contract, but suing in CA for breaches is tough. This is new territory for me after 8 years. The employee's a top performer, but I can't let them take advantage. Do I sue or terminate? Worried things could get ugly. Thoughts?

Freelancer
After freelancing in web and video since graduating in 2006, I've enjoyed the freedom and success of working solo. But with the arrival of my daughter, I am considering expanding into an agency. I'm hesitant about sacrificing the lifestyle I've grown accustomed to. It's a tough decision, knowing that if it succeeds, I might regret not making the leap sooner. I'm seeking advice from those who've faced similar choices, hoping to find clarity.

I'm feeling the burnout. Juggling a full-time job with freelance web development for 2 years has been a grind. Clocking in 60-70 hours a week, I'm noticing my focus waning and distractions piling up. Worried about maintaining quality as my workload increases. Any tips to keep going?

I have the daunting task of being the only Leave Administrator for a workforce of over 3,000 employees. I handle all leave requests, paperwork, and compliance tasks manually without external assistance. Is this workload typical?

Sara
Interpreter
I think I'm getting taken advantage of. I got hired as a medical interpreter with an American company, thinking I'd have a steady paycheck. But turns out, they're paying me per minute of work, and I'm not even getting many calls. I'm stuck at my computer for eight hours a day, hoping for work, but the pay isn't adding up. And what's worse? My colleagues from Europe have guaranteed salaries for doing the same thing. It just doesn't feel fair. What should I do?
Ana
I'm seeing these 'gurus' sharing how they tap into amazing SEO strategies that allow them to not have to spend money on acquiring new customers anymore, but I'm not sure if it's real, and who to trust. SEO is mostly a bunch of nerdy stuff the average person can't understand so you never know if what they're saying is true, and they all say it takes months to see results, so you end up paying so much for a service that you can't be sure will actually work. Any advice?
Joseph
Senior Dev
Struggling to win over my new team and get them to embrace the tools I was hired to implement. Despite the CTO's initial enthusiasm, I'm facing resistance in getting even basic systems adopted, like CI/CD that should help with code reviews. Is there a techincal solution, or do I need to charm my way through this?
Alex
My business uses a lot of text messages between our clients and our contractors, I'm struggling to handle texts from multiple phone lines. Moat services want us to get new Phone numbers to sign up, which is a no go. I've thought about using Slack threads and SMS forwarding tools, but I'm not sure if they'll help. If anyone has dealt with this and found a solution, I'd really appreciate your advice.

I run a souvenir shop in a tourist hotspot, and am constantly faced with customers haggling for discounts. It's frustrating because they wouldn't do this at larger retailers. Each discount request hurts my business. Despite standing firm, I'm drawn into unnecessary debates about pricing. Any tips on handling this?
Tim
As a Shopify store owner, I've been bombarded with messages from SEO experts and online marketing professionals on various platforms like email, Facebook, and Instagram. Being new to this field, I'm unsure how to handle this influx. Should I reply to them or just leave the messages unread?

After a year of bootstrapping my startup, I am looking to raise pre-seed money. This is my first time raising money. Outside of asking my network, I am a bit overwhelmed by where to start, considering the wide range of advice online from blogs & forums.
