How tough is the competition in the market you are considering? If the competition is too tough, you may need to think about starting the business in a different area or even start a completely different business instead.

Studying the Market

If you are interested in starting an espresso machines retail business, be sure 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, an entrepreneur who owns an espresso machines retail business in another town may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. It can take a while to find an entrepreneur who is willing to talk, but it's well worth the effort.

How do you find an entrepreneur who is running an espresso machines retail business in a different locale who can assist you?
