And above all, you will find out if a store is right for you or not; I know of cases of entrepreneurial traders who have taken their hands on their heads to see the reality of the business: hours, weekends, low margins, excessive competition everywhere, difficulties in dealing with customers, lack of information, etc’a certain business sense…

Study realistic niches.

All cities n’There is no room for every business initiative, no matter how brilliant it may be. Thorough and realistic market research is essential to determine which business may be the most attractive and its prospects for success. We have to be wary of recommendations from friends and family, such as “because’it n’There are no stores on this subject and that’it would be a success, because’it does not stop’being their opinion on the matter and what we need now are objective and real data that allow us to clarify which business opportunity is better.

The store n’It’s not for you, it’s for you’What your customers see in your store. You would like to have a store specializing in warships, just like I wanted to create a movie store, but are there potential customers to make a living from it ? And be careful when you make the accounts of what will be sold, the paper supports everything, even the sales forecasts made more with the heart and the mind’illusion that’with reason.

Focus on what is important for your business

Often, the’The location is chosen according to what can be paid and the budget said, but the thought should be: How much will I sell if the product is sold?’The place is here ? You have to look beyond the cost, you have to look at the value of the name’opportunity to’business presented by the’one or the’other local section.

You must be the greatest specialist.

If ultimately the store is on your favorite theme, you will surely be a real specialist. But if you have paid attention to a market study and the specialty of the store is foreign to your knowledge… All of’First, you need to become a subject matter expert at a forced pace.
