Prior to opening your doors for business, be sure you fully understand the competitive landscape and where your new business will fit in.

Turning Competitors Into Collaborators

If you want to open a hammock retailer 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. What's in it for them?

On the other hand, an individual who has a hammock retailer on the other side of the country can be a great learning resource for you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry 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.
