ES:

My advice...

a) Start somewhere---with something. It doesn't matter what. Yes there
is much to be said for planning and strategizing. On the other hand, too
many people spend so much time thinking about doing things that they
never actually do them.

b) The "perfect ham store" is the store YOU'd shop at if it existed. If
you want to establish the perfect ham store, then create it according to
your vision.

c) Whatever you do, make is scaleable. Running out plunking down
thousands for shop space, equipment, advertising, and whatever is a
risky proposition. Start with a single kit, a single service, a single
piece of your own software, and market it on the web.

If it fails, your exposure was small and whatever money lost can be
justified as tuition for the lessons you learned. Just try something else.

If it doesn't fail, you will have a small amount of capital with which
to leverage the next product or service.
