Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

If you want to open a fire alarms and monitoring services business it's essential that you have a conversation with someone who is in the business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

However, an entrepreneur who owns a fire alarms and monitoring services business in a location that is not competitive to you will be much more likely to talk with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

How would you find somebody who runs a fire alarms and monitoring services business outside of your area who is willing to talk?
