Collaborating with other people to bring your brand or your business to the next level is something you might want to consider. It can open the doors to many other opportunities in the end. But what if these other people are your competitors? The thought of losing some of your audience to them sounds scary, but actually, it’s not like that.
In this episode we cover how to effectively collaborate in the industry we’re in, the benefits that await, as well as potential opportunities that can happen. Even though it sounds risky, it’s even riskier to NOT collaborate with other business owners. For us, we actually think of it as doing something cool together. So, tune in to this podcast episode and don’t miss the cool stuff.
“If you treat it that way like as a fun opportunity to work with another person, it’s going to come across genuine, it’s going to be more beneficial. It’s going to be a better project and a better collaboration. So start there. Start with making friends with the people in your industry because it’s good to have friends.” – Mike Yanda
