Help! Not sure how to start a small business

I have a couple of questions for business owners in here before I jump in all the way if you guys can help. I’m trying to open up a physical store.

➡️What was your biggest challenge/problem when it came to having your business stand out or get noticed like in a plaza?

➡️What have/did you try in this area?

➡️What frustrations came from it?

➡️How did it feel like once you were able to solve/get rid of the problem?

➡️And just to be sure I’m getting into it for the right reasons. What do/did you want out of your business?

➡️What was the ultimate goal?
