Learning More About the Industry
Once you've finished assessing the competion, it's a wise move to learn from folks who are already in business. If you think owners of nearby taxicab equipment and supplies businesses will give you advice, think again. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
On the other hand, an individual who has a taxicab equipment and supplies business in a different city may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup 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.
