The Sincerest - a podcast by Jos Willard

Is imitation really the sincerest form of flattery? Flattery almost has a negative connotation these days, with its reception depending on its authenticity. So what should you do if someone imitates you or what you do in your business? Is it something you really need to be worried about as a coach?Today, I explore the mindset in the coaching business about intellectual property and how many people within the space are saying the same things. I share some outdated ideas about competitive advantage and explain how sharing information is commonplace in the coaching industry. I also reveal how existing ideas can help your business, why you need to credit sources, and what you need to do if someone says the same things as you in the coaching space.“Don’t worry about other people stealing your stuff; there are plenty of fish out there in the sea.”- Jos WillardThis week on Profit for Coaches:●      The mindset in the coaching space about intellectual property●      Old ideas about competitive advantage●      Why sharing information is built into the coaching industry●      How existing ideas can help your business and why you should always credit your sources ●      The FREE eBook you can access today!Resources Mentioned:●      Book: Never Split The Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It by Chris Voss●      Book: Book Yourself Solid by Michael Port●      Book: Profit First by Mike MichalowiczOur Favorite Quotes:●      “There’s not very much new information out there when it comes to doing things.” - Jos Willard●      “There’s nothing wrong with quoting and crediting people whose information you’re using and standing on.” - Jos Willard●      “Imitation or not, other people saying the same things that you say, from the same sources that you got it from, is not going to hurt your business.” - Jos WillardHelping Coaches Increase Profits Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Profit for Coaches.
