Someone told me they sometimes pay to see their competitors perform. I can see how this is a good way to pick up some new ideas but wouldn’t it feel a bit weird to you?
If I felt a bit stale and in need of new ideas I may try this, though usually I get inspiration from chatting to friends in the same business. Why would it feel weird to you?
It would definitely feel weird to me, because it would feel like I’m paying to steal their ideas or something. I don’t really know how to explain it, but I’d rather get ideas from friends than competitors.
