Any ideas what I could sell in it??.--Answer1:Sorry, thought you said getting out of the rat race?!Opening a shop is megga money if you are in the UK. First job for you is check out the rates, the higher rate water bills, ground rent etc. You have to go a long way to earn a penny. Unless you have a product or service that can be best served face to face with the customer then dont bother. The whole world is now available for us all to shop from. With overheads to have an online shop their prices cannot be competed with.... and I speak from experience.--Answer2:This is probably one of the worst times in the U.S. history to try and open up a new business. I strongly suggest staying in the rat race until things turn around..--Answer3:u could sell new lives to people who also want to get out of the rat race. why not sell ghetto escapes for rich people who want to come back down to earth!!.--Answer4:Keep your day job - get into network marketing in your off hours. When your business income passes your full time income, go full time in network marketing.Find a company that sells a PRODUCT, not a SERVICE. Get one that has a quality product. Compete on quality, not price. Pick a company that is not dependent on only one countrys economy..--Answer5:Thats an oxymoron. Opening a shop is jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Dont be fooled...the 9 to 5 is not something a shop owner recognizes..--Answer6:Dont do it.
