I've been running a xbox party business from here in Elk Grove. I wanted to let people know of any opportunity to start your own gaming business. I've having a good time running the business and it was growing nicely, but I became a victim of my own success. The more parties I booked, the more family time I lost. The operation was a side job for me. I've got a 7 and 4 yr old at home and will be stopping by business Calgamer Lanparties at the end of the year, or selling any time before that.
If you wanted to get into a turn key operation, feel free to contact me. I'd recommend the business for anyone who can deal with the weekend nature of the business better than I could. One of my original customers expressed interest in buying me out when they heard I was closing. Until then I had only thought to sell off my stuff in bits and pieces. Now though, I see the value that my little operation might have to anyone who, like me, sees the untapped nature of the xbox at a birthday party, lan party, business.
Feel free to check out my website to see what I've been delivering for people over the last year. Feel free to call, or tell a friend, if you know anyone who wants an xbox party, or to rent the equipment for running a tournament, before the year is out.
Cheers,
Andrew Hamilton
Owner of Calgamer Lanparties

This sounds like a very well-thought out and researched venture, sadly I'm not capable of running a business just yet, in 5 years i'll have my mba though

an MBA does not qualify or non-qualify you to run a business. just thought you might want to know that before you set an expectation that may not be a requirement.
"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know." -- Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld

In either case, thanks for the compliment. I obviously didn't think all aspects of it through...like it's impact on my personal life, or how that impact would increase as I succeeded.
