Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor
If you want to open a formal wear sales and rental business you really ought to talk to somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby formal wear sales and rental businesses will give you advice, think again. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.
On the other hand, an individual who has a formal wear sales and rental business on the other side of the country can be a great learning resource for you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. 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.
