• Find Competing Tree Farms Businesses

Is the established competition doing a good job? It's important to understand their strengths and weaknesses and think through how you'll stake up against those established businesses.

Learn from Others Who Are Already In This Space

If you are interested in starting a tree farms business, it's a wise move to learn from folks who are already in business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

On the other hand, an individual who has a tree farms business in a different city can be a great learning resource for 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 does one find an entrepreneur who is running a tree farms business who is willing to advise you because you live in different cities?

It's easy. Here's a link you can use to find a mentor outside of your area.
