If there's too much competition, it may be wise to consider starting the business in a less competitive marketplace.

Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor

If you are seriously contemplating launching an environmental training business, it's a wise move to talk to somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby environmental training businesses will give you advice, think again. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?

Fortunately, somebody who runs an environmental training 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. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
