Biggest Challenges Owning/Running a Shop

Hey everyone! Here's what's up:
  • New College Grad
  • I've Worked in a Bike Shop for a year and in other parts of the bike world (mtb summer camps, mtb junior devo team director, helped put on races for a few years)
  • Cyclist (Road & MTB) for 10+ Years
  • Curious about the world of what goes on behind the scenes to run a shop.

I've got some good friends who own shops (either bought-in or started it themselves) and have asked around, but also wanted to ask here:

(1) What are your top three biggest challenges in owning/running a shop?
(2) What are you striving for/what's your goal?
(3) What is the biggest thing in the way of that goal?

Thanks so much!!
