Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

If you are seriously contemplating launching a wilderness outfitters' guides and tours business, it's a smart move to learn from folks who are already in 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 wilderness outfitters' guides and tours business in a location that is not competitive to you will be much more likely to talk with you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

So, what can you do to find an owner of a wilderness outfitters' guides and tours 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.
