Let’s say I’ve been thinking about opening a storefront. Let’s say I’ve been thinking about it a lot and really want to do it. Let’s also say that even though I’ve done some research online, I’m positive these financial articles aren’t talking about the reality of opening a small business as someone who has never done it before (or may be on the lower end of means, any anecdotes of how much personal money you need and/or how you got the funds would be awesome) and may be thinking it’s rosier than it really is. I don’t have a business degree, but I’ve been an assistant store manager for a small business location and am currently a store admin for another one, so I wouldn’t say I’m completely dense. This is me humbly asking to talk to me like someone in their early 20’s with a weird dream and tell me the realities of making that dream happen. Thank you in advance!
