A Good Source of Advice

After you've evaluated your local competitors, it's a wise move to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. If you think owners of nearby Hawaiian wear retail businesses will give you advice, think again. What's in it for them?

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.
