I recommend searching Cameron Herold on Youtube and seeing some of his presentations. He was the COO of 1 800 Got Junk , he's also on twitter @cameronherold Being the clear choice in an industry is a Moat. A moat how easily defensible a business is from competitors. It's one of the first things an investor like Warren Buffet looks for, so its good enough for me! Thanks for the comment love, always thoughtful. All the best. Thats a great Point.

I think it goes along with this blog, The Video said make your website the authority of what ever it is you are doing! I think this includes any business.. If you are a "me to" business mowing lawns is what you do be the best, set the standards, be the brand people recognize in lawn mowing. The best example I can give is 1-800-GOT-JUNK, Garbage removal services did exhist before they came along but can you name any? Can you name any of there Competitors? Do you know there competitors telephone number? So no matter what you do strive to be the authority of it!
