I would love Dave Steve (Buellahunter?) to comment here ... he opened up Double Lung Archery last year .....
And I'm sure he loves it.....BUT I bet he will tell you there is more than what we think is involved to run a shop as full time business. There is a reason they aren't a dime a dozen. I bet Dave won't tell you to open a shop and plan to retire in two years because you are tired of wiping your a$$ with $20 bills.
Owning your own business takes dedication to it .... period. Most people want to do what they want to do and aren't willing to sacrifice to make things go .... that's why most small businesses fail ... not for bad ideas, but for lack of character and love for what your doing .... as far as family, involve them in it ......
