Leaving the comfort of my own home and opening up a storefront has its current challenges. Don't let fear overtake your passion to be your own boss. With that said, I pushed my doubts and fear to the side; I used my own savings coupled with using credit cards. Guess what happened? My on-line sales decreased. Talk about bad timing. Anyway, I wanted to share my experiences with others. If you have any advice, please share. I do have a relationship with the Lord, so I know his favor, on his timing, will not allow me to fail. Nice talking with you all!
