Are you a copy cat?

G'Day everyone,

How many of you look to other successful companies in your niche and implement something they do within your business model?

Do you think this to be unethical even if you change the creative and customize toward your business model?

I've always believed that there is nothing wrong with being a "copy cat" as long as you copy the "right cat" 🐱

What prompted my question is just recently we had a local competitor literally use the same design and layout for their website as our own.

And not the first time something like this has happened over the years and personally, I find it quite endearing 😘

Would love your thoughts?

Thanks

If somebody is trying to copy your content or anything, it means your idea hit them hard. You are a genius.
