Turning Competitors Into Collaborators

If you are interested in starting a collectible and vintage clothing retail business, it's a smart move to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby collectible and vintage clothing retail businesses will give you advice, think again. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

But, a person who owns a collectible and vintage clothing retail business outside of your community will be much more likely to talk with you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.
