Write a business plan. Detail every expense - how much inventory you'll need to start, how often you'll order per quarter (remember you'll be paying up front), buildout, fixtures, rent, utilities, salaries/wages, insurance, cleaning, and shrinkage, marketing/advertising,
Then figure out how you're going to meet those costs. You are not going to be working a fulltime job and make this happen - there's not enough hours in a day. You'll need to find (and pay) a full-time manager.
When your plan is done, find the smartest people you know and ask them to tear it apart, then write it again.
If that sounds like too much work, it's probably not a good idea to open a store. :)
