You're right, except for the fact that it wasn't the skillset obtained by being a barber that helped build the business - it was the person's business acumen.

You can be great at cutting hair, but abysmal at leading individuals, much less operating a business.
- jasonlotito 8y agoGood point. But I wonder if they would be just as successful in another business. e.g. If the barber suddenly opened up a restaurant. The important point is, it's the fact that this person with this set of skills that include being a barber and their business acumen that allows them to succeed. Remove one, I don't think they'd be as successful in starting a new business.
- sandworm101 8y agoBusiness acumen, access to credit, a market niche, decent regulatory environment... and a bunch of other stuff. Mobile barbershops might not even be legal in many places. It is a very regulated area. More training to cut hair than be an EMT.
