Before you open up shop, make sure you know what you will offer to your customers that provides a significant advantage over your competition's offering.

Learning More About the Industry

After you've evaluated your local competitors, be sure to talk to somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby parks and playgrounds businesses will give you advice, think again. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.

On the other hand, an individual who has a parks and playgrounds business outside of your community will be much more likely to talk with you, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.

How does one go about finding an owner of a parks and playgrounds business who is willing to advise you because you live in different cities?
