What if your biggest competitor was also your biggest growth opportunity?

It sounds counterintuitive. But for many SMEs — especially those operating in constrained markets — the businesses you're competing with might actually be your best channel partners.

This is the idea behind co-opetition: structured collaboration between competing firms that creates value neither could build alone.

In a blog for Boundless Business Consulting that still rings true today, advisor George Staikos breaks down five tactical moves that can emerge from looking at your competitive landscape differently — from shared reach and segment division to white-label relationships and joint go-to-market strategies.

Swipe through for the breakdown. It might just change how you see the businesses around you.

September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Today we pause to honour the survivors of residential schools, remember those who never came home, and acknowledge the ongoing work of reconciliation that belongs to all of us.

One meaningful way to engage — especially as business owners and founders — is to support the organizations doing the work of advancing Indigenous rights, economic opportunity, and community.

Sometimes September feels like a fresh start. Let it be one.

Kids aren’t the only ones who get a new beginning this time of year. Many founders and business owners feel it too – that shift in energy as summer winds down and new possibilities begin to take shape.

You don’t have to wait for January 1 – or September, to be honest – to begin something new. Any moment can be the right moment to start.

But if September is calling you forward, listen to it.

You could apply for a program to grow your business (we currently have Rhyze Up! and Business Impact Program), or you could launch a new product or service.

Whatever it is, be open to what’s possible.

And if you need support getting something new off the ground, we’re here to help.
