Part 1. Learn from them , not copy them.. There’s more things you can learn from your competitors. Instead of feeling jealousy, you can take the opportunity to learn from thier businesss. Things like: how they started thier plans. how they stay positive in the desicions. things they went wrong and managed to change it. how they manage their time to maintain the business. Don’t attempt to copy their model. It may not work well for you as it worked for them. Copying a model is like fitting into a ready made suit. It may look confortable but needs alterations. So, rather than spending precious time altering someone elses model. Learn from your competitors and create your own model with just the elements, the way you feel comfortable. so learn the stuff, don’t imitate. Running a business is about character. The branding should look like you not anyone else.
