A Good Source of Advice

As part of your due diligence on opening an eating disorders information and treatment center, be sure to learn from folks who are already in business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

Fortunately, somebody who runs an eating disorders information and treatment center in another town may be more than happy to give you a few tips, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice 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.
