Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

If you are interested in starting a video tape editing business, it's a wise move to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. What's in it for them?

But, a person who owns a video tape editing business in a location that is not competitive to you may be more than happy to give you a few tips, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.
