Dell, FedEx, and more all started in a recession. Go for it!
I've been helping people start businesses for 21 years. Let me know if you need help. I don't know where you are, but go to
www.asbdc-us.org and search in your state. Those people are paid for by your tax dollars to help you do just this. Some programs are better than others. Ours in GA is one of the best, if I may say so myself. The one is FL (if that's where you are) is good, too. You've got a good Google person at the Tampa location. Met her at some training in January.
Plan your work, work your plan, but be flexible.
Good luck.
