Why Do You Care What The Competition Is Doing?


Listen Later

Most practice owners have a daily habit they wouldn’t call a habit. Scrolling through competitor accounts, clocking what other clinics are charging, watching what new memberships and treatments they’re rolling out. It feels like research, but it’s stealing your energy from your own growth.

In this solo episode, Jessica makes the case that almost none of what you see your competitors doing connects to a real decision in your own business. She walks through how she handles it with her consulting clients. When a competitor’s offer comes up, she asks one question: why do you care? Most of the time the answer is that it doesn’t apply to your goals at all, and the conversation ends there.

She also tells a story from a conference stage that quietly changed how she thinks about competitors. What shows up on someone else’s social tells you almost nothing real about how their business is actually running, who their providers are, or whether their numbers add up. Her most successful clients all share one trait. They’re so locked in on their own business that they don’t have room to think about anyone else’s.

Listen for the simple question Jessica asks every time a competitor’s name comes up in a client meeting.
