Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

As part of your due diligence on opening a crane inspection and testing business, it's a smart move to talk to somebody who is already in the business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. What's in it for them?

However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a crane inspection and testing business outside of your community can be a great learning resource for you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup 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.

Where can you find an entrepreneur who is running a crane inspection and testing business that lives outside of your area?
