Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor
If you are interested in starting a mail box rental business, it's a smart move to learn from folks who are already in business. If you think owners of nearby mail box rental businesses will give you advice, think again. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.
However, an entrepreneur who owns a mail box rental business outside of your community will be much more likely to talk with you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. Many business owners are happy to give advice to new 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.
