Key Takeaways
- Startup costs are higher than they have ever been, and landlords are tough post-COVID
- Opening a Barber Shop will cost you about 30k at the bare minimum in a lower cost-of-living area.
- You have to pay yourself when you start your business because you may think your business is doing better than it is.
- Receiving payments in cash may seem convenient, but it's not advisable. Demonstrating a clear income on paper and paying taxes on it is essential for securing loans. Without a documented income, obtaining a loan can be challenging.
- Most of the time, the landlord will not give you anything. You are responsible for everything; this is not a residential rental.
- Do not just listen to one coach, advisor, or influencer. Diversity in perspective will serve you better than buying into just one person.
