Booth rental, done wrong, is a lawsuit.
Booth rental looks like easy money: rent out a station, collect a check. But misclassify a renter as a contractor when they're really an employee, skip a real agreement, or price the rent on a guess, and you're looking at tax trouble, legal risk, and daily conflict over a shared space. The upside is real, and so is the downside if you set it up wrong.
Maria considered booth rental and almost set it up on a handshake. Instead she got the classification right, used a real agreement, priced the rent from her actual overhead, and posted house rules. The arrangement ran smoothly and profitably, because she set it up properly before anyone moved in. (Illustrative example.)

Sandra built a shop that ran entirely on her, burned out, then rebuilt it on systems so it runs without her. She teaches operations and team: opening a salon, running it on daily systems, hiring, and scaling past a single chair.
