Money and intelligent use of it makes more money. Innovation makes money, but these days it usually requires money to be innovative (youtube, facebook). In other words, if you don't have money to begin with, don't expect to progress anywhere fast. And I don't mean having $50,000 in the bank, I mean having a million to play with.
dude hes talking about a 6 to 10 bed ma and pop tanning salon , not opening wallmart!
I worked in a tanning joint about 15 yrs ago and the women spent about $15000 to open it(used equiptment,carpenters for rooms) ,did zero promotion since it was in a strip amll next to a gym, hired me and 1 other person for a few bucks an hour ad gave us free tanning. shes still there to this day making money
get a decent location ,insurance, some used beds, hire 2 teens and worst case scenerio you recoup your money and sell the beds if it doesnt work out!
if theres a highschool or gym close by, you cant fail!
heres a wierd one, I was actually gonna by a house in upstate ny that had a barn converted into a 3 bed tanning salon out in the middle of nowhere, closest town was 15 minutes away and these people had tax reciepts showing they made 15 grand a yr profit just being open about 5 hrs aday in the middle of no mans land.
this was farrm country where all the homes were spaced 10 miles apart!
tanning salons equall a nice little business, just dont look to get rich..
