Is the established competition doing a good job? It's important to understand their strengths and weaknesses and think through how you'll stake up against those established businesses.

Learn from Others Who Are Already In This Space

If you want to open a tortillas business the next step is to learn from folks who are already in business. If you think owners of nearby tortillas businesses will give you advice, think again. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a tortillas business in another town can be a great learning resource for you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice 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.
