    I am doing well in small towns mostly due to the impression that there is no opportunity. Starting a small business in a major city is nigh impossible without a lot of money, but small towns don’t. The issue I see most often is people opening places in small towns without any business plan or market research, leading to failure. I think some of that will change when more business realizes that they can save money by going to a smaller town.

      My dad ran a business in a small town his whole life and said it’s not a good idea anymore. Been a struggle for him for the last like 20 uears. Always told me to never be a business owner so I’ll follow that advice
