“Competition keeps you on your toes and gives you something to strive for—but blindly copying others will never lead to success."
In this episode of No Bollocks with Matt Haycox, Matt dives deep into the role of competition in business and why it’s both a blessing and a trap. He shares the importance of learning from competitors while staying true to your own vision and strategy. If you’ve ever been tempted to imitate a competitor’s every move, this episode is your wake-up call to break free and forge your own path.
