Running a business means at some point you will ultimately network with other business owners and begin to understand their struggles and accomplishments. It is a great support network, but with this being said, it is also important to remember to ALWAYS to focus on you. There is great value in networking and learning, but no two businesses are ever exactly the same. Establish procedures, hours, prices, etc. that work for your business and life. Of course, you must always be aware of your clients and their needs as well, but do not take too much weight in what other businesses are doing or look to them to for solving your problems. Keep company with those who can build with you, but always keep your best interest and the interest of your business in mind.
