Turning Competitors Into Collaborators

If you are interested in starting a civil engineers business, the next step is to talk to somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

However, an entrepreneur who owns a civil engineers business in a location that is not competitive to you may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. Many business owners are happy to give advice to new entrepreneurs Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
