A Good Source of Advice

After you've evaluated your local competitors, be sure to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. What's in it for them?

However, an entrepreneur who owns a naval architects firm in a different city may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom 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. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

Where does one find an entrepreneur who is running a naval architects firm outside of your area who is willing to talk?
