10 Tips for Prospective Brick-and-Mortar Business Owners

Starting a business is hard. It takes knowledge, skills, and resources. You can do it!

Buy your bricks and mortars wholesale. Retail bricks are not cheap. Haven’t you heard of brick flu?
Stockpile as many bricks and mortars as possible for a future pandemic. This way you can sell it to all those non-preppers and make a huge profit.
Always lay your bricks first, mortar second. You gotta lay the foundations of your business model.
Don’t allow for any online transactions. That’s the silent killer of the brick and mortar business.
Only accept cash payments. Big brother and sister may be watching and charging card fees.
Lock your doors on days when you don’t feel like working. Customers will forgive you for their confusion.
Take no for an answer. Better yet, only take questions. Alex Trebek would be so proud.
The customer is always wrong. That’s why you’re the business and they are the customer.
Never post your open hours. At some point, you’ll have to change them and ain’t nobody got time for that.
Don’t listen to other business owners’ advice. Make a diss song about them and play it as background music while your store is open…whenever that is.
