Turning Competitors Into Collaborators

On the other hand, an individual who has a pulp and paper 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 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.
