If you can't take on a job or supply a product, would you refer the customer to a competitor?
A client just called me with an urgent deadline that I couldn't meet. Instead, I referred them to someone else who I knew had the time. The other person does very good work, and their services are identical to my own. Assuming you don't have the bandwidth to take on their work or supply a product when they need it, is it better to help the customer by pointing them in the direction of a competitor, realizing that you might never see them again? An alternative to this would be if you had a relationship with a direct competitor, wherein they refer clients/customers to you when they can't take them on and vice versa. Isn't this beneficial to everyone in the long run?

What’s your experience with Google Ads for local business? I started google ads 2 weeks ago for my new business ProClass Performance
I’ve spent $400 so far on google ads and I haven’t seen much results yet. Is this something that just takes time and I should stick with? Our original location was in Philadelphia and we did very well just by word of mouth but now we are opening in Pinellas Park, FL and I’m just not sure what to do marketing wise on a budget besides Facebook ads?

Gutter cleaning as a side gig for a college student?
The title pretty much says it. I'm in college full time, but with online schooling, you can't really call it full time. I worked painting for a few summer breaks and know my way around a ladder. Would gutter cleaning me a good side gig for me? Unless this goes super good, I don't plan on making a website or go crazy on advertising. Maybe just a Craigslist post lol. I'm in seattle if that makes a difference... Thanks

Creative space for artists
What do you think about a space for artists to come and create? It could have all the art supplies and equipment available for use. Monthly membership fee. We could also do art supply sales and classes. Any thoughts?
