The Beginning of a Dream

Maria always dreamed of opening her own shop, a place where she could realize her creative ideas and share them with the world. But when it came to realization, she found herself in a sea of uncertainty.

“Where do I start? What documents do I need? How do I create a business plan?” - these questions swirled around in her head. Maria spent sleepless nights reading forums and chats, trying to find answers.

A fruitless search

Maria: I've been sitting on these forums for a week now, and it's no use. Everyone advises something different, and I'm getting more and more confused.

Mark: Have you tried looking for information on official websites? They usually have step-by-step instructions.

Maria: Yes, I have, but there is so much information there that I get lost. I need a simple action plan.

Meeting with AI

Everything changed when her friend suggested turning to artificial intelligence:

Mark: Have you heard of AI? It could be your lifeline. It can help with organization and planning.

Maria: AI? You mean those talking robots?

Friend: Yes, but not only. AI can analyze data and provide individualized recommendations. I have heard that some entrepreneurs use it for business planning.

Dialogue with AI

Maria decided to give it a try:

Maria: Hello, AI! I want to open a store, but I don't know where to start.

AI: Hello, Maria! I am here to help you. Tell me more about your idea.

Maria: I want to open a store selling eco-friendly household goods. But I don't know what licenses I need and how to calculate the initial costs.

AI: That sounds like a great idea! Here are a few steps to get you started:

• Licenses and Permits: You will need trade licenses and environmental certificates for your type of business.
