Spotted while snooping on Google Maps at storage facilities...
Two random people being kind to each other!
My partner makes fun of me but you really can get a feel for a town and its culture by driving the streets on Google Maps. Especially the gas stations.
By the time I get to the facility to meet the owner I know my way around town and how it feels. Weird I know!
I always check out the businesses downtown. And the amount of people out and about, parking spots taken, etc.
No scientific data here folks. But if you're looking at out of state RE, I think this practice is worth it.
And here we are. 📞

There is always a bottleneck in every single business.
Here are the stages:
1. First it is customers.
If you already have the ability to provide the service yourself, you just need a customer or two to get the ball rolling.
As soon as you get those first few customers, you have a business and you are off to the races.
2. Employees.
Next, once you have enough customers coming in the door where you can no longer do the work by yourself, you need employees who can provide the service on your behalf.
At this stage, customers pay you, and your employees execute while you oversee them.
As the owner, you still do most or all of the admin work yourself.
