You can steal my chili recipe....

I was recently giving a seminar at a conference. I like to greet people as they enter my seminars to help ensure that I deliver them helpful information. So as usual, I was doing so. As I gazed outside the door to the seminar I noticed one of my competitors waiting in the hallway (obviously waiting to come in).

So, as with all of the participants I greeted and welcomed her. During the seminar I noticed she was feverishly taking notes. Part of me was amused and the other part felt like she was stealing proprietary information. Then I reflected back to a quote from a friend of mine, Vic, from Texas.

"You can steal my chili recipe....but you still can't make my chili."

Ultimately, it is not technology, trade secrets, patents, or contracts that determine your success....it is you and your people.

All the best,

Dave
