I have an idea for a service business, that I will start soon.
While thinking about the next steps, I realized, that there are some specific areas of the service, in which I just know the basics (at most), I do not really have expertise. So I have to learn these skills, if I want to offer the service.
What is the way to go now? Should I first build up the skills I need and then look for clients (by "building up the skills I need" I mean getting better as fast as possible, 80/20 principle) or should I try to get clients from the start and learn as I go?
The reason why I am asking is, that I don't want to offer a service, where particular areas are average at best, but I also don't want to wait an eternity, while honing my skills, to start the business.
Thanks.
