Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor

After you've evaluated your local competitors, you really ought to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. What's in it for them?

However, an entrepreneur who owns a seed and grain cleaning equipment and supplies business in a location that is not competitive to you will be much more likely to talk with you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
