Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor

If you are seriously contemplating launching a hospital equipment and supplies service and repair business, it's a smart move to speak with somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?

Fortunately, somebody who runs a hospital equipment and supplies service and repair business in another town can be a great learning resource for 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.
