It means there’s a market.
It means I can hire their top staff.
It means I have competition to make me better.
How do you compete?
That’s what I cover in this week’s video.
If you’re still struggling to find a way to make a meaningful dent in your competitive market, leave a comment with your challenges and I’ll reply with my thoughts.
Be sure to provide context so I can be ultra specific in my recommendations.
Here’s to the crazy ones who go into battle when the guns are shooting!
