Wow, this wasn't the response I was expecting at all. I thought I'd get the usual naysayers and that's all. It's very encouraging to see that so many of you have been successful at this. I know it will be a lot of hard work, and it will be a JOB. But, I already work a lot of hours at a job that I despise, so I think I could handle it. It would at least be something I love.



I've actually already started making arrangements to go (back) to school and take some small business courses. I realize that is my biggest deficiency.



As far as the store, I'd really like to concentrate on exotics only. Reptiles, amphibians, maybe saltwater fish and some cute furries like sugar gliders, etc.



I really feel like it's possible, especially if I also use the internet for more sales. It's just the getting started part that is confusing and daunting.



Anyway, thanks for all the information everyone. I may be in contact with some of you soon. :D



Thanks again,

Scott
