Coke and Pepsi are where they are because<\/em><\/strong> of each other.<\/p>\n

Not in spite of.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many years ago I started a ‘Psychic’ Fair.<\/p>\n

It soon expanded to many cities across Canada.<\/p>\n

Five years later someone solicited every exhibitor at my Fair to have a booth in their<\/em> Fair.<\/p>\n

Six weeks before mine.<\/p>\n

I went to that Fair and asked the exhibitors if they would like to be at mine, six weeks from now.<\/p>\n

Flush with success, they almost all said yes.<\/p>\n

Added to the ones I already had, it was my largest Fair ever with 104 exhibits. (Normally 75 – 80)<\/em><\/p>\n

And the largest attendance. (A spill-over from their advertising.)<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I never considered 2<\/strong> Fairs a year because I thought it would be too much.<\/p>\n

The ‘competition’ proved me wrong.<\/p>\n

From then on we held two<\/strong> fairs in each city.<\/p>\n

And more than doubled our income.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You have heard of Coke and Pepsi, right?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Look for your key to success in<\/em><\/strong> your next obstacle.<\/p>\n
