Hotel Walmart
Hotel Wal-Mart from B-Rilla on Vimeo.
I'm currently in Missoula, Montana and we just spent the night at a Walmart parking lot. It's actually our 5th or 6th night at a Walmart parking lot. I'm not too sure.
A lot of people like to blame Walmart for their environmental impact, their non-local business practices, how they destroy communities, among other things. I'm on a different side. I'm actually on neither side. I'm on the side: What can we learn from Walmarts? It's a difficult one.
However, as we travel from state to state, the Walmarts are all busy. They are certainly recession proof. They employ thousands of people, provide thousands to communities, they support a lot companies, and they save you money.
So before we bash companies, let's take a look at what good they are doing.
Thoughts?
Many an entrepreneur finds these days to be a little more hostile than in the past for new businesses. Some of them do not have any concerned with the community or even with the costumers; all they want is to gain more profit. With a down turned economy, there are fewer ways of finding a new funding option. Some people on the lookout for the right business owner to invest in or the right product to start shopping around has gone to installment loans, in order to provide them with the credit necessary for businesses to operate. However, a savvy business person keeps their options open, and knows how to scrape by when times get tough. The right kind of entrepreneur never needs debt consolidation.
