How tough is the competition in the market you are considering? If the competition is too tough, you may need to think about starting the business in a different area or even start a completely different business instead.

Studying the Market

After you've evaluated your local competitors, it's a smart move to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby aerospace engineering firms will give you advice, think again. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started an aerospace engineering firm in another town will be much more likely to talk with you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. Many business owners are happy to give advice to new 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.
