This document discusses identifying, tracking, and learning from competitors. It begins by stating that competitors, whether obvious or less obvious, are inevitable. It encourages identifying competitors through targeted Google searches and specific lists. The document then advocates tracking key indicators about competitors like announcements, funding, new products, content, clients, employees, and media mentions using tools like CRM and Google Sheets. Finally, it suggests businesses can learn from both competitors who lead in their industry as well as those who follow but eventually succeed, and that competitors can sometimes become partners or acquirers.
