it Keeping personal: In the same vein as the question for Chapter 5, do you do any benchmarking in order to boost your performance as a student, athlete, homemaker, or working professional? What do you do and how does it help? If not, why not? I own a business with my dad about embroidery and of course I do benchmarking to boost my performance. I am always trying to research about other business in the market, their prices, products, quality. or All this information helps me be competitive in the market and improve in the tasks I am not doing well. And also and I think the most important thing is to create unique services that the other companies don't have to be different.
I think that's an excellent quality to be able to learn and then perform it and try to experiment and do other similar things. That is going to take you very far in the future.
