Turning Competitors Into Collaborators

As part of your due diligence on opening an individual retirement accounts business, it's a smart 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?

However, an entrepreneur who owns an individual retirement accounts business on the other side of the country 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. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.
