Prior to opening your doors for business, be sure you fully understand the competitive landscape and where your new business will fit in.

Turning Competitors Into Collaborators

If you are seriously contemplating launching an airport business, be sure to talk to somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. What's in it for them?

However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started an airport business outside of your community 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. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. It can take a while to find an entrepreneur who is willing to talk, but it's well worth the effort.

Where can an aspiring entrepreneur like you find an entrepreneur who is running an airport business outside of your area who is willing to talk?

It's easy. Here's a link you can use to find a mentor outside of your area.
