Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor

As part of your due diligence on opening an electric shavers sales and repair business, it's a wise move to learn from folks who are already in business.

However, an entrepreneur who owns an electric shavers sales and repair business in a location that is not competitive to you may be more than happy to give you a few tips, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. 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.
