What's a lifestyle business?

[-] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 9 points 9 months ago

It means it becomes your life. If you want a day off, you have to close, or run at a loss to hire staff.

Usually a lifestyle business can only just sustain the owners. Adding employees makes them not profitable.

Many, many businesses are like this. Often if there are staff in a small business, the owner draws a smaller wage than the staff.

It's like things that look like you're doing something, but would fall apart if you actually did it. Like lifestyle shoes. Looks like running shoes. But if you ran a mile in them, they would self-destruct.

I'm just not business savy enough to even understand the concept of this sale. So I'm not buying the building obviously. Also it seems like a regular post office. What am I actually spending half a million on here?

after paying them, they will no longer work at this post office or be involved at all or get any of the profit, and instead you will do all of those things (presumably as a team with your husband, according to the ad).

it’s like buying a fast food franchise.

I'll give you $100. When can you deliver it?
