Outsourcing site selection and market research for expansion is risky because it involves delegating a critical strategic decision that could determine a business's success or failure.

“I would have a lot of anxiety putting that in someone else's hand, especially if I already opened four or five of these myself, right? Cuz if you get that wrong, if some third party agency screws that up, you could be done.”

Entrepreneurs should prioritize operationally light, marketing-heavy business models that outsource heavy lifting rather than owning equipment or managing employees.

“our whole model is we don't do any actual work. [clears throat] We outsource everything. Okay. We own a truck. We have an operating partner. That's it. We don't have a warehouse. We don't have overhead. We don't have employees. We don't have a chainsaw. We have a truck.”

A piggyback business model, such as locating a service business within or next to a larger existing operation, provides a significant strategic advantage.

“I like to call this a piggyback model you see a new Walmart opens and a Game Stops right in front of it”
