Learning More About the Industry

As part of your due diligence on opening a resistors business, it's a smart move to talk to somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby resistors 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 resistors business in another town will be much more likely to talk with you, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. 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.
