Description

Today let’s have a heart-to-heart conversation about competition. Yes, this breath-stopping, gut-wrenching topic.

None of us get a pass from experiencing our physical and emotional responses when the subject of a competitor comes up. Just like others, you probably compare the quality and prices of your products, your social media following counts, and the many other unconfirmed stories you make up about all the ways they are more skilled, knowledgeable, or personable than you are.

Listen in for the 3 choices you have when it comes to competition and your handmade product business. Then I give you 3 ways to insulate your business from a competitive action by planning ahead and having a strategy in place to deal with it. Bonus – this plan strengthens your business overall and helps you attract customers too!
