I am in the education industry. In fact, I’m a business owner as well as a trainer.
As we are just a start up, we have to do everything on our own to manage our cost effectively. Luckily me and my co-partner each have our own strengths which make matter easier.
However, I have been a little frustrated recently with a COPYCAT! A company which writes almost the same way as us. Well, some might see it as a form of flattery since we are the one being copied. It shows the quality of our work but still! Who can stand the fact that someone just almost wholesale copy your style, content etc … I know some things are not copyright in fact I think the line is rather grey. Nevertheless I will not expose the identity of the company instead I will do my part more and wish them all the best.

I was googling on ‘how to deal with copycats’ not too useful it seems. So I decide to come up with my own ways on dealing with business copycats!
- Do not waste energy on copycats!
- Have faith in your own work and trust that it will achieve the objective intended.
- Be even more creative than before.
- Have unique selling point which is not easily copied!
Do you have experience of your work being copied? Or do you copy other work? How do you deal with it? I would love to hear your experiences.
