Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs
If you are seriously contemplating launching a fiberglass and plastic tanks business, it's a smart move to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
Fortunately, somebody who runs a fiberglass and plastic tanks business in another town 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. 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.
How do you go about finding a fiberglass and plastic tanks business founder who is willing to talk to you but doesn't live nearby?

Don't Rule Out Franchising
