Hello. New here.
Just need some advice from people who have done this sort of thing before.
I'm 28 years old and my job is killing me. I've always wanted to start my own business but money has been an issue as well as anxiety about the whole process and a tendency to overthink everything.
Anyway. I think I have come up with a great idea (as all business start as I guess). Basically doing pub quizzes. I've MCed before, I did a quizz at a pub for my work Christmas thing (which is where the idea stemmed from). In school my best topics were doing speeches (seem to be the only person in the world capable of public speaking >< ) and random knowledge. It's a perfect fit.
The other perfect thing is if I can secure regular spots at pubs/restaurants I can start doing it after work and slowly drop shifts and work and phase work out as this grows. Eventually I can hire people and grow naturally etc.. It's far less risky than spending like $20,000, quiting my job and jumping into it.
SO my question. What's the best way to approach pub/restaurant owners? Email of introduction? Just go in and talk to them? Take out a small advertisement in the local paper?
