Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

If you want to open a moving equipment and supplies rental business the next step is 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?

Fortunately, somebody who runs a moving equipment and supplies rental business in a location that is not competitive to you can be a great learning resource for 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.
