Gordon,

Outside of my window they're teaching Kayaking and Seaweed info...

As you know there's a window of opportunity on Webinars, Specialized education and Local classes...

On endless Topics...

I know you've posted on multiple Teaching related subjects and ideas since the start of SowPubs...

Somewhere in the Archives... Some Great reading if you can Find them...

You're talking about a “twist” and a “turn" on these guys and a few other good Learning centre business models...

Instead of opening brick and mortar biz. Small footprint, approx 1800-2500 sq. ft...

Why not Hook-up with Existing Specialized retailers and businesses...

Feed off their customer base and Use their space Too.. Through joint ventures, cross promotions...

And Marketing related products and supplies in those particular Niches...

Cafe's, bakeries, banks, book stores, Macdonald's in the basement... etc. etc. are also Great places to tie Teaching and Consulting into...

Lots already offer Classes...

But an Unlimited number of retailers and businesses Don't offer or Market their knowledge into Education related packages...

Economies Don't always come into play if you Focus on Consumer passions and like interests whether online or offline...

On the mention of Resumes Plus and Job Clubs...

An interesting business model to checkout...

Always keep an open mind to Fresh new ideas...
