Turning Competitors Into Collaborators

If you are seriously contemplating launching a textile printing equipment and supplies business, the next step is 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.

However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a textile printing equipment and supplies business in a different city will be much more likely to talk with you, 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. It can take a while to find an entrepreneur who is willing to talk, but it's well worth the effort.

Where would you find an entrepreneur who is running a textile printing equipment and supplies business who is willing to talk to you but doesn't live nearby?

Simply, try our helpful link below, type in a random city/state or zipcode, and start calling.
