However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a party equipment and supplies wholesale and manufacturers business outside of your community may be more than happy to give you a few tips, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice 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.
