If there's too much competition, it may be wise to consider starting the business in a less competitive marketplace.

Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor

If you are interested in starting a bartending school, it's a wise move to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby bartending schools will give you advice, think again. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?

However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a bartending school in a different city may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. 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.
