Organizations can learn a huge amount and scale that much more quickly when they collaborate with others.

Many businesses spend too much time focusing on their competitors. While observing what works and doesn’t work for others in your industry, it should never be a primary focus of your business.

Why? Because it tends to create an anxiety that can be difficult to manage. You also easily get trapped in the comparison game which no one likes (and no one ever wins).

What do we suggest instead of competing? Collaborating. Collaborating, especially as a small business owner can help grow your own business as well as create a bond with similar business owners to you that can end up lasting a lifetime.
