Thinking about opening a messianic synagogue? We tell you what you need to know to get started.
Investigate Competitors
Long before you open a messianic synagogue in your town, it's a good idea to see what the competition looks like. Use the link below to find competitors in your area. Just enter your city, state and zip code to get a list of messianic synagogues in your community.
Before you open up shop, make sure you know what you will offer to your customers that provides a significant advantage over your competition's offering.
Learning More About the Industry
Once you've finished assessing the competion, the next step is to 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 a messianic synagogue outside of your community may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.
Where does one find a messianic synagogue owner on the other side of the country to talk to?
It's easy. Here's a link you can use to find a mentor outside of your area.
