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 seriously contemplating launching a hurricane preparedness business, be sure to learn from folks who are already in business. If you think owners of nearby hurricane preparedness businesses will give you advice, think again. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a hurricane preparedness business on the other side of the country may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. 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.
