I have no actual operating experience in business.
After my exam was postponed for the 349874th time due to this pandemic (it's now in Oct, but I don't want to keep studying)..
I would like to start my entrepreneurial journey NOW.
I have been doing some reading, and thinking..
The idea of buying a (small) business (I'm not greedy) to get some actual operating experience seems more ideal to me at this point than to try and start something from scratch.
IDEALLY, I'd like to be someone's apprentice and work for them as a manager just to learn the ropes, and feel out the business for myself and see for myself I'm getting what is advertised.
Where can I get a deal like that?
And anything I should be aware of in particular before I dip my toes into something like this?
Thanks!
If you're looking to work with anyone specific, you can literally just message them. You just have to offer some form of value. In my personal experience before I started entrepreneurship, I emailed a YouTuber with over 1 million subscribers who was in my area traveling. I proposed to work for him as a camera man for free while he was in the area. He got back to me and said he probably wouldn't need me as a camera man, but he appreciated the offer. He took down my number I provided in the email just in case. To my surprise, he texted me the next day. Long story short, I worked for him as a camera man for a day and made some pretty high profile contacts. He even paid me out of generosity. That was one of the best days of my life.
