The biggest part of success is just luck.
I beg to differ.
Inventing (ha) the pet rock, and people thinking it's cute, and buy'n it...yeah luck, but starting up a business (the correct way), and having it be a success, is pretty simple. It's all in the research and prepwork.
Researching the market..... formulating a business strategy and mapping out your vision, prior to even starting up a business, are some of the steps one can take, that will help ensure a success.
Is the market flooded..... is there even a market.... how much time are you willing to invest..... what jobs within the company, are you willing to perform....... what jobs are there to do that you can't do? There are a ton of questions that you have to ask yourself, that need realistic answers, prior to opening up doors.
Having enough money and backing to start a shop, and loving bikes....... is a tiny...TINY, part of running a successful business.
Planning right...picking right...and doing right.
