Did You Know:
 From: Lee Schearer,
To: My Fellow Chapel Hill Leads Group Members
"Business Competition"
Throughout my business life of more than 46 years, I have often heard other business owners speak of their completion as if it is some giant entity that will swallow up their clientele and will put them out of business. However, it is my belief, backed up by witnessed actions, that the only competition you have in either your personal or business life is yourself. Most of us work throughout the Triangle Region and we all have competitors. The difference is that our competition can provide us with the incentive to "up our game". If the competition provides their clients with a superior product or service, that action provides you with a roadmap to provide your clientele with a far superior product or service than that of your competition. By out-doing the competition you are becoming a better ambassador of your chosen profession and more professional in how you engage your clientele
When I am recruiting prospective members of the Chapel Hill leads Group, I am often asked if there are other members who are engaged in the same occupation as theirs. Will they have competition? My standard response is the belief that competition provides each and every one of us with the opportunity to become better at what we do. It challenges' us, it keeps engaged. As I truly believe, your only competition is the person in the mirror!
If you are looking for a business referral group that is dedicated to helping other small business owners succeed, I invite you to join me this Wednesday morning at the Chapel Hill Leads Group and to witness for yourself why we are the oldest business referral group throughout the Triangle Region.
Respectfully,
Lee Schearer

Attention CHLG Members - The Chapel Hill Leads Group's goal is to raise 100+ boxes of cereal a month. If everyone brought one box of cereal to two meetings this month, the Chapel Hill Leads Group would easily exceed the 100 boxes of cereal goal.
