How tough is the competition in the market you are considering? If the competition is too tough, you may need to think about starting the business in a different area or even start a completely different business instead.

Studying the Market

As part of your due diligence on opening a lumber treating and drying business, it's a smart move to talk to somebody who is already in the business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.

However, an entrepreneur who owns a lumber treating and drying business in another town will be much more likely to talk with you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.

Where can an aspiring entrepreneur like you find an owner of a lumber treating and drying business that lives outside of your area?
