Welcome to this solo episode of Mr. and Mrs. CEO! Kim here! Today I’m diving into a conversation that I’ve been having frequently with entrepreneurs about competition- how we perceive it, learn from it, and use it as a tool for growth. Whether you’re a new business owner or considering stepping away from the 9-to-5 grind, this episode is full of insights and inspiration to help navigate the entrepreneurial journey.

Topics Covered:

• Competition is not your enemy, it’s a trailblazer paving the way for innovation and opportunity in your industry.
• By focusing on your own vision instead of others, you stay on course to build your unique brand and path to success.
• The importance of studying what competitors do right and adapting those strategies to fit your goals.
• Why you should never compare your starting point to someone else’s established success.

Competition isn’t something to fear or fixate on—it’s a resource for learning and a marker of possibility. Remember to stay focused on your vision and take actions aligned with your goals. Who knows? One day, you might become the trailblazer others look up to! Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Mr. and Mrs. CEO. Don’t forget to subscribe, share with a friend, and rate and review!
