Healthy time for enterpreneurs?

I think that if you can find your niche and there is a need for your services, you can do well even in this economy. My husband likes to build and work on motorcycles. We live in Florida where there are a lot of retired people as well as younger ones who ride motorcycles and there are no bike shops closer than 2 hours away from us. So, he decided to open a bike shop. He works on bikes, sells new and used parts as well as tee shirts, jackets, hats and a bunch of other stuff. He has a great location and I think his business will do well. Our only goal is to break even. So, since there's a need for his services and the items he sells, now is as good a time as any to open a business.
