Hi All,

I’m currently thinking to open my own plant shop. I love collecting and taking care of plants. I have 80 plus plants in my house and I have also started selling plants on fb marketplace as well.

I work as a robot technician and have a good salary but I’m not really interested to work in this field so reading a lot about starting a small business. I already have 70k saved to buy my own house but now, I’m seriously considering opening a plant shop. I have got my business number and checked few stores for leasing. I also contacted few wholesalers to buy more common plants but can’t really buy in bulk yet because of no place to store. Honestly I don’t have much knowledge about business but I used to work at a convince store few years ago so have some idea about dealing with customers. Renting a commercial space and then, surviving on this business seems very risky. Can anyone give me few tips or suggest me any book to not to self doubt. Also, any tips related to opening your own store.

​

Thanks,
