Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs
After you've evaluated your local competitors, it's essential that you learn from folks who are already in business. If you think owners of nearby sawmill construction and maintenance businesses will give you advice, think again. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.
But, a person who owns a sawmill construction and maintenance business in another town will be much more likely to talk with you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers.
