Is the established competition doing a good job? It's important to understand their strengths and weaknesses and think through how you'll stake up against those established businesses.

Learn from Others Who Are Already In This Space

As part of your due diligence on opening a reading improvement instruction business, it's a smart move to speak with somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

But, a person who owns a reading improvement instruction business in a location that is not competitive to you may be more than happy to give you a few tips, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. 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.

The key question new becomes: how to find a reading improvement instruction business founder who is willing to advise you because you live in different cities?

We can help. Follow the link below, try a few city/state combos or zipcodes, and then start calling!
