Hello Biz Starters!

Living in Las Vegas, the questions I get a lot are:

Do you go to all the shows? Or do you see celebrities all the time? 

Apparently, Las Vegas has become the place for celebrities to live, have fun, and avoid state income taxes since there are none here. And yes, of course, I frequent the shows I like on The Strip.

After living in big cities, we craved to live in a low-populated area.

Just like aiming to be the only life or mindset coach in your area, entrepreneurs thrive on uniqueness. Being one of many might appear less appealing than being the one and only.

Living in Las Vegas taught me one thing…it’s nice to have competition.

Think how wonderful it is to stick out among your peers.🤔

To be the best, you have to beat the best.

Healthy competition fuels innovation and pushes us to be our best selves.

Instead of shying away, turn challenges into opportunities.

It's not a threat but a chance to elevate your business, innovate, and stand out.

Remember, the fiercest rivals often become the best collaborators.

In this week's blog, I share ten ways you can set yourself apart from competitors.

As always, thanks for reading! 😊
