Start Up Princess Jamie Lentzer of Jamie’s Painting & Design recently wrote to tell us an interesting development in her business… she’s developed a friendship with a competitor in her industry. She wrote about it at length on her blog. Jamie says, “The difference is our friendship is like a coach/mentor/support group/partner all wrapped into one, and as a woman she is my LIFE line for sure.” Wow, good for you!! Instead of being threatened, keeping resources to yourselves, etc. you are doing the opposite, you are embracing each other and cheering for each other…congrats on making a new path in business! I love this, THIS is what I want Start Up Princess to be. Jamie says it all started with the competitor, London Edwards of My Little Dish emailing her and complimenting her on on her site and blog, that it made her laugh out loud, they were instant friends. Everyone loves a compliment…a friendship was born! They had a LOT in common…they began to help each other and the rest continues to be a happy business fairytale.
