Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

As part of your due diligence on opening a roller skating rink, it's a smart move to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.

However, an entrepreneur who owns a roller skating rink in a location that is not competitive to you will be much more likely to talk with you, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. It can take a while to find an entrepreneur who is willing to talk, but it's well worth the effort.

How would you find an owner of a roller skating rink who is willing to advise you because you live in different cities?

It's not that hard. Just use the handy link below and enter in a random city/state or zipcode.
