Find Good Remote Business Advice

After you've evaluated your local competitors, it's a wise move to speak with somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby Latin American restaurants will give you advice, think again. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

However, an entrepreneur who owns a Latin American restaurant in a location that is not competitive to you will be much more likely to talk with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. It can take a while to find an entrepreneur who is willing to talk, but it's well worth the effort.
