P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 29
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
In February, 1828, I returned to Bethel and opened a retail fruit and confectionery store in a part of my grandfather’s carriage-house, which was situated on the main street, and which was offered to me rent free if I would return to my native village and establish some sort of business. This beginning of business on my own account was an eventful era in my life. My total capital was one hundred and twenty dollars, fifty of which I had expended in fitting up the store, and the remaining seventy dollars purchased my stock in trade. I had arranged with fruit dealers whom I knew in New York, to receive my orders, and I decided to open my establishment on the first Monday in May--our “general training” day.

白话
1828年2月，巴纳姆回到家乡贝瑟尔，在祖父马车房的一部分开了一家水果糖果零售店。祖父提供免租场地，条件是让他回老家做生意。他全部资本只有120美元，50美元用来装修，70美元进货。他和纽约认识的水果商谈好订货，并决定在5月第一个星期一开业，那天正好是当地的“大训练日”，人多热闹。核心是：创业起步要精打细算，并选对开业时机。做法是：控制启动成本，利用现成资源（免租场地），提前建立供货渠道，并挑人流量大的日子开张。

今日一问
如果你要启动一个小生意，能否找到免租或低成本的场地，并选一个人流大的时机开业？
