    I think standing out ahead of your competitor is really about being individual and taking risk.. most of the advice in here is common sense really…

    Great advice indeed…do one thing really well rather than lots of things sub standardly.

    I agree with Jacquleine that you have to offer something different than others and I also agree with Bill Gates comment that- your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning!

    Being different really is important in overcrowded market segments.

    Alot of good advice …
    Alot of good advice. But that one guy might have missed the boat on the “sounds like U2″ thing. That might be true in business, but in music, sounding like another band has made quite a few people alot of money. Though it’s probably best to try sounding like a few bands at the same time.

  10. businessexpertsdan, on August 26th, 2008 at 3:17 am Said:

    Music is business, …
    Music is business, and bands sell product the same way as anyone else. His point is not that you won’t move units by being the same, but rather you won’t ever reach the top by copying somebody else. To use another analogy, BK and McD’s both make burgers - they have meat, lettuce, chesse etc - but they aren’t the same.

    Really good advice in my view.

    They point out the …
    They point out the main thing, it is really important to have one thing (at least) different about your business. You can’t compete against a current business, already well established in the market, by making the exact same good with NO difference at all, be it price, where it is made etc. There always has to be something key about what you do, but I guess being original is the hardest part - it is much easier said than done!

    It might be an easier road to ride the coat tails of the big boys but then it will be hard to differentiate later.

    Added value and going the extra mile is what people appreciate / want and these guys do it so well.

    More sound advise from these celeb entrepreneurs. This series of videos with them has been well worth watching.

    True but Megadeth …
    True but Megadeth are Burger King to Metallica’s Mcdonalds but many still enjoy dining out on their thrash. Still wouldn’t mind having a majority shareholding in Burger King or Megadeth.

    What held Megadeth …
    What held Megadeth back was Dave Mustaine’s drinking problem. But I see what you’re saying - Lars Ulrich gets about as much respect as Ronald McDonald.

    Let’s all stick to our knitting…i”m personally quite useless at that.

    Interesting range of perspectives. You can get go a long way copying a successful product or model, but a point of difference is really important.

    John Madejski advice is especially salient, compete with the big boys by offering service

    Good advice from John Madejski when products are the same - service can be the differentiator
