I literally spend ZERO time focusing on my competition. I don't look to the right of me or the left of me -- It's all forward moving for this guy. I focus ALL of my time on people, the teams around me, and our focus for the future.
Do I know what the competition is doing? Sure, to some level - but I never go deep as my understanding typically goes as far as reading headlines and hearing some of the buzz of the industry. The biggest mistake I see entrepreneurs making is paying too much attention to those around them. Sure, take a look back once and while to see who's on your tail, but at the end of the day your focus needs to be on your own domain. If you can focus all of your attention to accomplishing what you set out to do, full-steam ahead, you'll win.
Not only will you win but you'll be able to razz the competition a bit while you ignore them ๐Ÿ™‚ I find that not paying attention to your competitors is actually a tactic to be used and a competitive advantage which allows you to focus your energy on the work you've set out to do in the ways in which you've set out to do it.

    Gary, I'm 3 weeks into YouTube video producing. How do you suggest I gain organic view & subscribers? I understand reaching out locally is vital in growing myself in Photography & Video. Should I reach out farther though my transportation is public in the Philadelphia suburbs.
