Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

If you want to open a dry cleaners business be sure to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

Fortunately, somebody who runs a dry cleaners business on the other side of the country can be a great learning resource for you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

So, what can you do to find somebody who runs a dry cleaners business who is willing to advise you because you live in different cities?
