#7 Let’s Discuss the Power of Collaborating Competitors

Let’s Talk Community with Jorge Diaz

You will often see competitors competing viscously for business working hard to keep others out. An alternative is to instead work side-by-side on projects collaborating with each other leveraging each other’s strengths. The learning potential and improvements to the end customer deliverable can be impressive.

This week Jorge talks to guest Lee Dale who’s business partnered with him on a large project that leaned hard on their specialties and made for a much better final customer solution than they would have had otherwise. They talk about that and the communities that have helped them as small entrepreneurial business owners.
