I was at the beach this weekend, enjoying the sunshine and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore.\u00a0 My husband had taken the two dogs for a walk along the shoreline and I was totally relaxed\u2026until I heard loud deep-throated barking.\u00a0 I opened my eyes and looked to my right where this very nice girl, quiet group of people who had a mid-size dog were all staring horrified at this huge German shepherd straining at his leash while the teenage girl from the group next to me tried to walk their well-mannered dog over to the water\u2019s edge.\u00a0 Instead of continuing her walk with the dog toward the water, instead she turned back to her group, cowed by the barking dog and the rude owner, who just continued walking as if he owned the beach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I was so irritated.\u00a0 I wanted to tell that girl: \u201cDon\u2019t let them push you around like that!\u201d But, of course it was none of my business.\u00a0 I just kept thinking about it though.\u00a0 It really annoyed me.\u00a0 Then I realized why.\u00a0 It was a microcosm of \"Competition\"what goes on in the business world every day.\u00a0 An opportunity arises and a few different sized companies go after it and then the big dog comes in barking at everybody.\u00a0 They can do it better than everybody else because they are bigger, because they have more people, because they have more offices, because they\u2019ve done it before, because, because, because!\u00a0 And one by one the smaller guys drop out either on their own or by the client\u2019s hand.\u00a0 It\u2019s all just too much already.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I say let the big dog bark, and then bark right back.\u00a0 Your size makes you more adaptable \"Marketingand agile, you haven\u2019t done it before; so you bring a fresh perspective, you don\u2019t need offices all over the place, you just need a plane ticket, the people you do have, have proven time and again to surpass expectations, if more are needed, they will be hired.\u00a0 Use your size to your best advantage whether you are manufacturing car parts, a catering company, a real estate firm or a marketing company.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
