Why is it hard to copy and compete with DealShare?
Some Key Highlights:
Value creation comes only through building disruptive solutions because another copy can't create value.
Communication is critical. However powerful a product may be, if it is not publicised, there will be no market for the product. Communication should be simple, clear and to the point.
When you make a difference in the community and solve the correct problems, your career is bound to be better than others.
