The good and bad of owning an lbs...

[Mr. Bloom]

In business, CASH IS KING!

You're doing the right thing. Sure, you do sell expertise, but you can acquire that a number of ways without traveling across the country. It's clear from 1,000 miles away that you're differentiating yourself on friendly, compassionate service...and this comes from the heart, not the checkbook.

Here's some more "good" to ponder:
- cycling is on the rise!
- a rising tide raises all ships!
- work to get a disproportionate piece of the increasing pie

Like you, I have been an owner now for the past 7 years.

Congrats! - Five years is a key threshold for small business statistically.
