Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

If you are interested in starting an environmental and ecological consultants business, it's essential that you talk to somebody who is already in the business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.

But, a person who owns an environmental and ecological consultants business in a location that is not competitive to you will be much more likely to talk with you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
