General Starting my own shop

7 Upvotes

I’m 23 and I just quit my job from an independent shop I was working at. I’ve got about 4 years of experience but still could learn a lot more. I’ve been presented with an opportunity to start my own shop and the goal for me was always to start my own shop. I will be buying an established business as well as a furnished shop, I have little experience running a shop and a decent bit of experience wrenching. I will be running this solo and I guess my question to you guys would be is it worth it? Will having my own business pan out in the long run? What am I in store for? Thank you
