Emotap

This is my first post so be kind to the newbie and thank you for your time. i'm 40 years old and i would like to start a shoe retail shop. I've got no experience whatsoever. Only driven by my guts.

Assume i have $50k cash and am most interested in opening up a shop selling shoes for men and women with my own brand izzit possible. How do i start? I search thru internet for any shoe distributors in the Philippine and Malaysia but none seems to be reliable. I heard there are lot of factory making shoes in the Philippine but i don't have any contact i mean not even one. Is there anyone here who got experience or having the same passion like me. I'm maybe a little bit old but i'm a hard-working person. Presently I'm working full time for 18yrs with the same company.(not a shoe shop he he)

Yes i know its a little bit ambitious and stupid of me with no knowledge but i really want this.

So please pm me or advice on how can i start my own business.
