Turning Competitors Into Collaborators

After you've evaluated your local competitors, it's essential that you speak with somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby lawn consultants businesses will give you advice, think again. What's in it for them?

However, an entrepreneur who owns a lawn consultants business in a location that is not competitive to you 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. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. 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.
