Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor
As part of your due diligence on opening a stenciling and designing business, the next step is to talk to somebody who is already in the business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
Fortunately, somebody who runs a stenciling and designing business outside of your community can be a great learning resource for you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. Many business owners are happy to give advice to new entrepreneurs 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.

Here's how we would do it. Try the useful link below and key in a random city/state or zipcode.
