Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs
If you want to open a lighthouses business it's a wise move to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.
However, an entrepreneur who owns a lighthouses business 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. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

Don't Rule Out Franchising
The odds of achieving your primary goal of being a successful business owner are much better if you become a franchisee in lieu of doing everything yourself.
Prior to making the decision to open a lighthouses business, a smart move is to determine whether purchasing a franchise might make it easy to get started.
