Last night while I was driving home, I couldn’t help notice the different types of businesses there were along the way. There were hundreds of buildings, warehouses, and mini-malls, not to mention the large storage centers and big box stores, and that was on one highway! I was wondering how much all the bricks & mortar leasing, rental and mortgage payments might be, I know it’s an odd thing to ask yourself while driving.

When you think of starting a business, or maybe taking over an existing business, do you consider buying, building, or leasing? Or do you consider building something that doesn’t need the large asset, and the huge debt attached. As Bricks & Mortar becomes more and more Clicks & Pages, how do you see the future of these monstrosities?

If you truly want to start a business, take the drive. Drive down main street, drive down any highway or street that has businesses on them, ask yourself one question….what’s missing?  Then ask yourself if it can be built with Clicks & Pages rather than Bricks & Mortar, the traditional business building model. How would your idea make your communities life easier, what problem would you solve, and does it need to be solved. Once you know the answer, don’t wait, just start making it happen.
