\u201cLearn from the mistakes of others. You can\u2019t live long enough to make them all yourself. \u201d \u2013 Eleanor Roosevelt<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

As one of the most admired first ladies of all time, it cannot be argued that Eleanor Roosevelt had a skill and craftiness for coining a phrase. From a young age we are instructed on the value of independence. \u201cDo your own work\u201d and \u201cdon\u2019t look at your \u2018neighbors\u2019 paper\u201d are common phases that still ring in my ears from elementary school. But there is something to be said about what we can learn from others. While being independent and completing something on our own can be empowering, so can collaboration and using our \u201cneighbors\u201d to help direct and maneuver the next best move. We learn by observing.<\/p>\n

From being a starter on a sports team, top in the class, having the most current wardrobe, having the most up to date gadget, driving the best car on the block, or owning the biggest house on the street, the drive to surpass others in deep within us. We live on a competitive planet–one where having the next best thing before it is even available is valued and sought after.<\/p>\n

With competition trimming every avenue of our lives it only makes sense that this would also hit in the business world. Competition exists in every field. If you are working in a crowded field, you won\u2019t be successful by doing what everyone else is doing. We learn by example. Observing what competitors are doing well provides the opportunity to consider a similar formula for your brand and company. However, just because something is working well for someone else does not mean they hold the perfect recipe. Focus on your core market and audience and pay attention to your target group. Tweak the recipe that your competitors are using to best fit the needs of your organization.
