Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

As part of your due diligence on opening a syrups retail business, the next step is to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. What's in it for them?

However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a syrups retail business in a different city may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. It can take a while to find an entrepreneur who is willing to talk, but it's well worth the effort.
