Keep in mind that some people don't define a successful venture in the same way.

A small shop opened down the street and I went in. They had some small items, but nothing that would in any way pay the rent on a store that size, and no real foot traffic. There was one lady working there who was the owner. I inquired about how business was coming, and she said 'well your here aren't you'.

I got the impression that making it financially was the last thing on her mind, all she wanted was the opportunity or to do something she wanted to do. If it 'ceased to exist' tomorrow or next week it did not matter. Several months later the place was empty.
