Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor

After you've evaluated your local competitors, you really ought to speak with somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.

However, an entrepreneur who owns a boots and safety shoes wholesale and manufacturers business on the other side of the country will be much more likely to talk with you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

Where can an aspiring entrepreneur like you find an owner of a boots and safety shoes wholesale and manufacturers business who is willing to talk to you but doesn't live nearby?

Here's how we would do it. Try the useful link below and key in a random city/state or zipcode.
