[QUOTE="Weathergeek, post: 6996, member: 77"] Just saw this thread for the first time. What James has said on here is true and it is what keeps the vast majority of people from starting their own gig. The fact that you have this feeling so young in life is a testament to your drive and will only help you as you get older and wiser. Yes it can be difficult and somewhat costly, but can be and should be done. It is easier to do it while your personal expenses are at a minimum. You will need some sort of a mentor to give you some guidance in the beginning. Start small. Check out your area for potential competition, amount of crime (decent area) and traffic into your store. You will need some startup money... rent/deposit/insurance/alarm/products and inventory, etc. Take your time with this idea. Do plenty of research. This may take months or even years to do it correctly. DO NOT RUSH into this as this should not be done half ass. And as James has already stated, your personal time will be nearly non-existent. The business will be your life and wife for a long time to come but will be worth it because it will be YOURS.:prof: So don't be discouraged, take your time, get advice from every person you know, especially the generation above you and pick what advice will work for you. Look what a wonderful job James has done here at also a very tender age.:thumb::thumb::thumb: If you want to pick my brain, feel free to PM me or give me a call. Good luck.:ride: [/QUOTE]
