The bigger the footprint of your business, the more you have to pay for rent/lease, right?
What if you could downsize your business to the size of a shipping container?

I had just dropped my boys off at their primary school and came across a small truck in the staff parking lot.
I peeked inside and met Phil Upton.
Phil teaches school kids the drums out of his truck which is set up with 3 electric drum kits.
He can teach up to 3 students at a time.
He serves schools throughout Tauranga for weekly lessons.
He bought the business off the previous owner, rebranded, got the truck signwritten, did some promotion, and tripled his business in a few months.
The kids love it because they get out of class sometimes to practice.

Everybody wins.
