What is the verse at the bottom of the home page? Proverbs 12:14 says: Our words are very powerful. If we are careful with our words and speak wise words, they can bring us benefits. Hard work, generally leads to rewards. And it is definitely better than lazy work or no work at all. You can't expect to succeed without hard work. Behind every successful person is a whole bunch of pain, struggle, and hard work that you might not have seen.

 

Now you see why we have that verse on our site...

 

 

 

 

About Business Beware and Why We Exist...

For the past 25 years, I have been involved with the service industry, with most of those years, owning my own business.  As a young man, I was taught that in life and in business, you were to have integrity. This has been a mainstay for my foundation of my life and businesses.  The problem is that there are a increasing amount of people who do not hold these same values.  I grew up during a time when most people were told " the customer was always right", but that isn't always true. Our goal is to shed light to businesses, who are trying to work hard and do a good service for customers, but have had to deal with slow paying customers, customers who will not pay, and customers who you cannot please.

 

The idea for BusinessBeware.biz came from years ago when I was eating lunch with a fellow friend and business owner. We sat there talking about our businesses when we both said that there was a customer that had given us such a headache while trying to work with them and we both realized we were talking about the same person! After that I thought about how many others came across the same thing where some of the same customers are giving different businesses a hard time. That's when the idea about a site where businesses can warn each other about these certain "hard to please" customers came to me and from there, Business Beware was created.

 

Many have told me how to handle the customers if they give you trouble and I always have, but it is time for us to do something about it. Most forums you see out there right now are giving you advice how to handle them, but we want you to be aware of the customers you have to deal with or learn from other businesses personal experiences with some hard to please customers. There is nothing wrong with trying to learn how to deal with your customers, but Business Beware is an outlet for you to find out about customers in your area who you may be dealing with in the future.

 

Business Beware is ultimately for businesses. Unlike other forums, it's not for ranting and raving about customers. The site is to warn fellow businesses about certain customers that you have dealt with that are not worth dealing with or at least so a business knows what they are getting into before a job. Not all customers are bad, but there are a handful of ones that can make your life miserable and others should be aware of them as well. For so long consumers are the ones who have had the edge over businesses where they can rate and complain about businesses, but now it's time for businesses to have a place to give their feedback about the customer...
