Are you a retail business owner faced with going out of business and liquidating your inventory, laying-off your employees, bankruptcy, breaking leases, and finding another way to make a living? I faced that challenge and started over with a new internet business model.
For seventeen years I ran a small chain of decorative home accessory and art galleries in Chicago and Southwest Michigan. They were wonderful businesses. I really loved them, and I had great employees and tremendous overhead and many things which eventually became huge headaches.
If you are in any type of retail business, you know that the past few years have not been our best friends. I ended up having to close my businesses, and even in the going out of business sales I wasn’t able to raise enough money to cover the debt which I owed on them. It was not a good situation.
17 years of operations ended in debt and liquidation.
What I realized, and what I’d like you to know – especially if you are in a similar situation – is that closing your doors and going out of business is not the end of the world. There are other things that you can do.
What I discovered was a new internet business model which has the capability of replacing the entire income that I had been getting from three stores. It does that without the heavy overhead, without the enormous startup costs, without the employees, warehouses, trucks, and without the heavy hours invested in day-to-day operations of a brick-and-mortar enterprise.
This new internet business model also does not have the downside of being located in any particular geographic location which could be affected by many unknown factors. As you know, location is everything when deciding on a store address. If you open in the wrong location, your business will never thrive. Some of my stores were in upscale neighborhoods in Chicago where the residents had lost their jobs. While the customers were downsizing, my business dried up. This new business model removes that restriction by operating in territory which is the entire English-speaking world.
This new internet business model has benefited me, and you may want to take a look at it too. Don’t get depressed if you have to go out of business. It is not the end of the world. There is a new way to start over, if you are open to it.
There is no need to consider that your only option is to go open a new store in a new neighborhood, go deep into debt and start the downward spiral again.
Operating online with the new business model does not have the drawbacks of traditional businesses. No heavy startup costs, no inventory, no leases, no employee hassles.
