Your Biggest Competitor
Summary
- The biggest competitor isn't other businesses; it's people's distractions and their lack of awareness of your existence.
- Customers only care about what you can do for them right now. They aren't concerned with logos or websites.
- Focus on delivering immediate value to your customers, as this is what they truly care about.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing strategies to tackle customer distractions and increase awareness of your business. Start by making sure your offering grabs attention quickly. Whether you're selling a product or service, focus on what immediate value you can deliver. Make it crystal clear how what you offer can solve problems or improve lives right now.
A good way of doing this is by directly engaging potential customers. Reach out to them on platforms they already use like social media, or even community events. Show them real examples of how your service or product can benefit them. This approach is affordable and powerful.
Avoid spending too much time or resources perfecting your logo or website initially. They aren't what wins customers over. Instead, put your energy into crafting clear messages about the value you offer immediately. Ask yourself, "What can I do for my customer today?"
Focus on personalized engagement. Sending follow-up messages, using simple flyers, or even direct conversations can be more effective than elaborate marketing strategies. It shows you care about immediate customer concerns.
Finally, remember to keep things simple and focused. You don’t need to do everything; just do the things that matter most, which is addressing what customers need and want right now. This way, you cut through distractions and make sure people recognize and remember you.
