Turning Competitors Into Collaborators

If you are seriously contemplating launching a liquor stores business, it's a wise move to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. What's in it for them?

On the other hand, an individual who has a liquor stores business in a different city will be much more likely to talk with you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. It can take a while to find an entrepreneur who is willing to talk, but it's well worth the effort.
