For this assignment you are asked to conduct an interview with a local small business owner (gun store). The ideal business owner would be operating a business similar to the business you plan to open. Plan to contact this business early in the week to schedule a ten minute in-person conversation about operating a small business.

Keep the following in mind: You do not need to share the specifics of your own business plan. You can indicate this is a course about developing a business plan and ask for guidance about starting and managing a business in general. You can also share your interest in the field and decide how much of your own plan and its details you will reveal. Focus on starting a business and the employees needed to get started.
