Find Good Remote Business Advice
If you want to open an office furniture and equipment rental and leasing business be sure to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. If you think owners of nearby office furniture and equipment rental and leasing businesses will give you advice, think again. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
However, an entrepreneur who owns an office furniture and equipment rental and leasing business in a location that is not competitive to you will be much more likely to talk with you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. 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.
