Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

After you've evaluated your local competitors, be sure to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. If you think owners of nearby gummed tapes businesses will give you advice, think again. What's in it for them?

However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a gummed tapes business on the other side of the country will be much more likely to talk with you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. 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.
