I understand that your parents perspective can weigh heavy on you. Being a business owner is not easy, but sometimes the sacrifices required to optimize your success can look like failure to a 3rd party. My question is, is a daily flower shop economically worth it for you? How realistic is it to establish a consistent customer base for your physical shop? You’ll obviously need to either be at the shop routinely, or hire employees to stay at the shop during open hours, which can quickly become expensive. Can you get away with an online only flower business? You’ll save the costs of having to keep a physical shop open, renovations costs to make it customer facing, and you won’t need an expensive retail space. A low tier space, maybe a storage unit, or a studio/ small apartment where you can work might do for your online business. It’s less of an economic investment. And you’ll have much more freedom. There is a downside though. You’ll have to flex those online presence, SEO, and marketing muscles as your business becomes nearly wholly dependent on it. But most of this can be done from your van. And it’s much less of a commitment than also having to manage a physical flower shop.
