It's fucking frighteningly casual advice at best. Fact of the matter is if Tom's to get it off the ground then he's going to need funds, and that means he's going to need some pretty robust answers to the types of points that have been raised when he goes knocking on the bank's door. Field of Dreams platitudes alone are gonna get the lad laughed out of any business meeting and even Parky would have to accept that. I run my own business what made it work wasn't anything to do with business things it was all to do with that I wanted to do it. That has to be in place first. All the other stuff although important is secondary. IMHO. I also sometimes get paid to go and talk to other companies in my field on where they could improve. There is a lot of commonsensical advice in this thread I agree. But finally in my experience what it will stand and fall on is Tom's desire to do it. What is it and who gave you the finances to start it without you showing them some sort of business plan? I went to the bank with 4 contracts signed in my hand worth £38,000 and asked if I could open a business account. Don't you see that puts you in a slightly different position to Tom then? Fuck me gently! The guy is talking about starting off by investing in high street premises ffs. That is why I'm giving him a different kind of (as you've spotted) more motivational advice. Business advise isn't worth the paper it's written on, I've never read a single book about business and never will. The main issue here is that every business is unique taking into account a multitude of factors and no one can really say at the get go whether it will work. I say again IMHO it comes down to the passion of the person and how much of themselves they want to put into it. I was in Milan a couple of weeks ago and I'll be in Barcelona tomorrow, the practices and needs of these companies although both in Europe are a million miles apart...For me it always comes down to the people. What Tom wants to do will work primarily cause he identifies with it so much. Most millionaires have a handful of failed businesses behind them. It's nothing to worry about, the main thing is beginning the journey. Fucking hell man. Of course they do. As do a lot of failed businessmen. Tom clearly isn't short on motivation. The thread is just pure common sense as far as I can see. Fair enough. I'm not Fop you know. Fair do's like.

You sound like you know your stuff tbh. If that's all true then it sounds like a guitar shop wins hands down over a bricks and mortar record shop. If the idea of a record shop is more about indulging a hobby then it sounds like your guitar business could pretty much subsidise a specialist record sales add-on, as part of the overall shopping experience

Tom man, I don't think anyones having a pop at your ambition. At the very least the posts which are sounding a word of caution are highlighting the sorts of questions your potential creditors would be asking you before extending finance. Forewarned is forearmed marra, so it's all good. Yeh it's going to require a fuckload of planning. I can imagine it taking a couple of years to organize and still it might result in nothing but it's worth trying. Business has very little to do with planning if it had anything to do with planning then all these cunts with Business Admin degrees would be millionaires instead of cunts which is what they are...... Take your dream and try it. There is always a way..... Yes but significantly, unless he's got his own finances in place (which he hasn't) then he's going to need to present some sort of plan to get finance. So everything that's been mentioned is worth bearing in mind.

Love the way he dumped Big Suze to look for someone more subservient on the internet.

QFT. Things like that make the whole Nancy/Big Suze debate a joke. Big Suze every single tug tbh. But Nancy likes people to black themselves up while shagging her and pretending she's their mam. J69 and Alex would just be sat watching that scene with blank expressions. The pair of vinegar tits.
