Thank you for the video. Please, provide the course link. Thank you.

I owned a shipping store for nine years and it is interesting that Lisa only talks about the positives and not the negatives in the business. I belonged to a trade association and we met periodically to discuss all of our problems and how we handled different situations. Almost all of the store owners that I networked with are out of business or have sold their stores because they got burnt out. I could write a book about this business - the government paperwork you have to do when you sign up a new mailbox client to make sure they are not scammers and still we had some who turned out to be crooks and police got involved. The physical exhaustion of packing up shipments. The inability to go on vacation because you have to keep the mailboxes accessible for customers. The frustration of a UPS store (of course they get much better deals) opening up in your neighborhood so now your biggest supplier has turned into your biggest competitor. The problem of finding and keeping employees, etc., etc. Good luck to her, but it is not a bed of roses!

I don't see the link in the description to Lisa's outline of starting such business

I used to work for a Franchisor of these types of businesses over 15 years ago. These things are not low cost startups. It was a minimum $120k just to get it going. That is not counting the extra money you needed in reserve so you can ride out the first 3 years before they become profitable. Many of them have closed down since and the Franchisor went out of business as well.

I was thinking of this idea for building that's abandoned in my neighborhood. It was a office suites type building but no-one has been in it for like 10+ years. The owners aren't even in the state smh. I wondered if this type model could be profitable but now seeing these numbers I'm even more interested. The building once fixed up could be a pretty awesome looking commercial office space so I believe it would be a good draw for those looking to have a business address that looks good on google maps and such. Thanks for doing the video!
