Big changes are coming...

I have made my desicion. I am going to try and open my own local business. I have been mulling this over and over in my head, and I am dabiling in it right now, but I would love to be able to do this full time. I want to open a local card/gift store of my own creations.
We have a company here in town that helps people like me who want to start up. I am calling them tomorrow and hopefully be able to get an appointment with them to discuss my plan.
I have mentioned this to a few close friends and they are all encoraging me to go for it. I am just afraid to take the leap. But tomorrow I am going to bite my lip and do it.
Do any of you guys have a local or online business ( I know some of the blogs I follow do). Anyone have any advice for me? I want to do just local right now, and see how that goes, and god willing maybe expand later to online as well.
Please send me good vibes for tomorrow, I am going to need it.
Thanks for listening.

Hi new friend,

Thank you, for sharing my journey. I as read over your post, I seen you wanted advice for owning your own business. I have been in family owned businesses all my life. They are tough. You have much more responsibility and there is not a pay check at the end of the week. But if you have a true passion for your business then I say go for it.
