Turning Competitors Into Collaborators

If you want to open a fashion houses business be sure to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

However, an entrepreneur who owns a fashion houses business in another town may be more than happy to give you a few tips, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. 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.

No problem! Just use the link below and try a random city/state or zipcode. Then start dialing for advice until you are successful.
