I am interested in starting a running / cycling shop where i would sell the basic items, like shoes and bikes ( go figure) as well as sponsor events and what not, I'm currently in school for a non related major, I just dont feel I'm in the right place. I'm very motovated and I'm sure I could do this, but does anyone know how much money it would take to get such a place off the ground, and would I technically need a business degree, I feel I'm knowledgeable in the area and have good common sense and busness issues? I can also budget money well. If anyone owns their own shop, or has any experiance that might help me I would greatly appreciate it

thanks
