Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor
If you are seriously contemplating launching a truck trailer rental and leasing business, it's essential that you have a conversation with someone who is in the business. If you think owners of nearby truck trailer rental and leasing businesses will give you advice, think again. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
However, an entrepreneur who owns a truck trailer rental and leasing business in another town can be a great learning resource for you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. 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.
Where would you find a truck trailer rental and leasing business entrepreneur who is willing to talk to you but doesn't live nearby?

The odds of achieving your primary goal of becoming a successful entrepreneur are substantially improved when you join the ranks of franchisees rather than going it alone.
