Have you ever felt threatened by another business that's too similar to yours?
Ever noticed someone selling a program that's almost identical?
You're not alone. Most female entreprenuers have a complicated relationship with competition.
Should you ignore your competition, keep an eye on them from a distance or invite them to collaborate?
In this episode, Rachel Lubchansky, a Business and Leadership Coach for Women, discusses the most effective ways to approach competition in business.
We discuss why it's important not to turn a blind eye to your competition, what you can learn by co-existing and even supporting your competition and how shifting from a "me vs. them" mindset to "how can we kick ass together?" can do wonders for your business.
Spoiler alert: you don’t have to crush your competition to succeed.
Women can—and do—rise by lifting each other up.
