Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

If you are seriously contemplating launching an amusement and theme park, be sure to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. What's in it for them?

But, a person who owns an amusement and theme park outside of your community 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. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

What's the process for finding an owner of an amusement and theme park who is willing to advise you because you live in different cities?
