It's happened to me, to friends, to collaborators, and to my clients...
And while "imitation" is supposedly the "sincerest form of flattery" (Oscar Wilde), NO ONE LIKES A COPYCAT!
In this episode, we get into a recent (minor) horror story of my own, talk about why it's so important not to copy and paste, a few ideas on how to avoid being a copycat, and how to decrease the chances of being copied.
We get into:
- What it feels like to be copied
- Six reasons not to copycat
- Four ideas to help you slow down and avoid copying someone
- Three ways to decrease your chances of being copied
- Don't steal "Somebody's Law"
- ...and more!
