Hi everyone- I'm new to this!!

Hi everyone

Just thought I'd say Hi and introduce myself, I can see myself being on this site quite a bit!

I have just opened a shop (arrggghhh).
I've only been a florist for a few years but have always loved flowers and flower design. I took a different career path early on but soon realised that on office job just was not for me! So, I gave that up and went to college. I have since worked in a few different shops and also done quite a bit of work from home.
It has always been my ambition to have my own shop (and be a young business owner) so when an opportunity came up, I went for it. I had been saying for ages 'one day, one day' and I suddenly decided that I didnt get old and think 'what if'!!!!

Its only now that the shop is open that I've started to get scared!!!

I am just going in to my 3rd week. I am on a very busy street that has lots of passing traffic on foot (there are parking restrictions so not always easy to stop), its a huge residential area, across the road from a train station and about 2 minutes from the town centre. So, a pretty good location. In the 2 and a bit weeks I have had some great days and some bad days, like today, I have had one customer all day!!!! : (

Does anyone have any advice, about anything, that they think I might find useful????? I would be very grateful for any help and advice.

Sorry, that was all 'me, 'me', 'me'!!
Thanks very much
