Learning More About the Industry

If you are seriously contemplating launching a water gardens, fountains, and ponds business, it's a wise move to speak with 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, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a water gardens, fountains, and ponds business outside of your community can be a great learning resource for you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. 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.
