This and all businesses depends on how bad you want this. As has been said before, you have to be willing to "do whatever it takes", which could mean sitting in an empty store in November, because you cannot afford to pay someone to do it for you. Change your own bulbs, clean your own beds, make people come to you at the store, when normally you go to them. If you are really in it to win it, "whatever it takes" is virtually unlimited. That is where many people lose their interest.
