Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

As part of your due diligence on opening a manuscript services business, it's a wise move to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. What's in it for them?

However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a manuscript services business in another town may be more than happy to give you a few tips, 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.
