Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor

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

Thankfully, an owner of a a van accessories business outside of your community 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. 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.
