I'm not saying you should be blind to what is happening in your market, but I'm a strong believer that you should focus on making your product the best for your users that you can, and try to ignore a lot of the noise out there. Do what you do and do it really well.
FWIW: I think this applies more for smaller startups, and less for giant brands who are wielding and fighting against 100 million dollar marketing budgets.
- dshah 18y agoI'm (mostly) with you on this. Primary focus should be building the best product you can. But, there's a fair amount of learning to be had from watching your competitors. So, I'd say: "Watch and learn from your competitors, just don't follow them".
- foulmouthboy 18y agoWhat better way to make your product better for your users than to improve on things your competitors don't do well? I think that despite size, good strategic business thinking should always take into account the competition.
