Turning Competitors Into Collaborators

If you are interested in starting an auto tire shop equipment and supplies business, it's a smart move to talk to somebody who is already in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.

On the other hand, an individual who has an auto tire shop equipment and supplies business on the other side of the country may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. 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.

How does one quickly and easily locate an entrepreneur who is running an auto tire shop equipment and supplies business outside of your area who is willing to talk?
