Good Luck. It will be hard woek and a lot of hours for you,,But you can do it. Hubby and i had a tack store and it was doing great and then when we sold it the new owners couldn't make a go of it. They were charging way more  then what the people could afford in a small community. Took me awhile to get the money out of them that they owed. We moved to another part of the state to be near my son and his wife.

I will not wish you luck.

If this is your first business venture then there is a very good chance you will fail. But this is a good thing. The cool thing about this free economy is that if you fail, its quite easy to rub off your failure and try again. In fact, if you are just starting out I hope you fail. It will be a good way for you to really learn about business. If you succeed on your first try you will not learn anywhere near as much, plus you will get this ego boost and your next business venture may blow up in your face.

Stay calm and collective. Do not let your emotions get involved in your business. Treat your customers like a human, but treat your business like a computer. If this is your fist time, I would have suggested starting out smaller but since I don't know what you have done thus far you may have already.

Of course, if you have already failed in business you should have learned all this already and would not be asking for prayers. If you have not, then you have learned nothing. It may seem kind of harsh, but business is not pretty.

Hey, I hope it works out for you! Don't take the negative comments to heart. Yes, business is tough, but you don't have to fail in order to learn how to be successful. Just know that you will almost certainly have rough spots to work out, which you will learn a lot from as far as perseverance is concerned. In this economy it is not easy to start over after failing, so don't give up too easily. Make sure you realize that it will take a lot of hard work on your part to make your business succeed. It usually takes a long time to make a profit when you're starting a new business, so don't expect too much too fast. GL!

I concur with this reasonable advise, though it's doubted that it will penetrate religious unreason.
