This episode will take you a journey into the world of business competitor and a business comparator. A business competitor is an organization that offers similar or almost identical products or services as another business. A business comparator is possibly a group of businesses that are selected according to size, sector, geographic spread, or other criteria to be used as a basis of measurement. Basically, we are talking about how some businesses compare themselves to others and how they measure up or against other companies as well. In this episode we talk about how business owners can let their egos get the best of them when giving a real assessment of their business. We as business owners in the apparel business no we don't compare with larger scale smaller businesses. We know to compare ourselves to smaller, online ecommerce businesses that fit close to the same criteria we fall in. This episode we hope to inform business owners about seeing your business as a competitor or a comparator to other businesses.

Three things can be happening to your business. Your business can be thriving, surviving, or dying. This may seem drastic, but this is the situation that countless business owners face day in and day out. Life will still continue to throw you HOOKS, but you will be able to hopefully choose how you react to them. Those reactions can be based on how well your business is doing at that time. Revenue and profit margins are the two main indicators that can tell you if you are thriving in your business. You can go back to Episode 23: Flourish or Fold to rehash how we have discussed the topic of a flourishing business before.

A for profit business that is surviving is making enough money to keep the bills paid and the doors open as they say. There is no margin for error, or the repercussions could be disastrous. These businesses need an influx of cash, and they need it very soon. A business that is dying, is doing just that. It is on its last cash reserves and their next business move may be to close and shut down their business. Tune in and find out if your business is thriving, surviving, or dying!!!!!

One of the craziest aspects of us becoming podcasters and business owners is we identified a problem or a gap per say. With us wanting to solve the problems we identified it gave us a true purpose for the journey we have embarked upon. We needed a us for us when there was not an us in our atmosphere at that time. The original concept presented to us for our podcast did not identify a problem for us at that time, but we talked and thought about things differently and the Watch4Thehook Business and Entrepreneur Podcast came into existence. The same can be said for the apparel side. We saw a gap in positive, message-based apparel. and we sought out to fill that gap. Have either of these journeys been easy? Hell no, but we have appreciated them, nevertheless. Tune in to this latest episode and see if you need to identify a problem that may just need solving.

Let us know whose tuning in. You can email us at admin@watch4thehookcom.
