There’s a saying “El sol sale para todos” meaning the sun shines for all.
It’s one of my favorite sayings to me it means there’s no reason to dull anyone’s sparkle, we all have room to shine. No matter what area of life you apply that to… In business, in family, in appearance, etc.
Recently I’ve been seeing some drama over in the book world over a lady who has trademarked the term “hot girls read”. It’s a mean girl move. It’s a term that has been used by millions over the years and has been used by so many small businesses. Now someone is staking claim to the term and hurting fellow small businesses.
Take a drive through your town, 2 coffee shops can exist and survive across the street from each other. Think about that for a minute. There is no competition. They each have their own way of doing business and that draws the right people to them.
I personally have never heard of this lady or her products. I’m not her target client. In a world of billions of people there is no need to put up barriers for your fellow small businesses. Your people will always be drawn to you if they’re meant to. If your product can’t stand out on its own maybe it’s time to shift your focus on to what is needed to draw in more clients. Marketing? Product improvements? New designs? In the baking world, new flavors?
At the end of the day we’re all just trying to survive. Focus on what you do and the rest will follow. Your light will shine bright enough for the right people to find you.
Now I’m off to watch my dough spin and get lost in this book!!
