Talk to People Who Are Already in the Business
As part of your due diligence on opening an airline ticket agency, be sure to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. If you think owners of nearby airline ticket agencies will give you advice, think again. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.
However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started an airline ticket agency outside of your community will be much more likely to talk with you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.
