Exactly, this person should never manage people

"Mayo discovered that workers were highly responsive to additional attention from their managers and the feeling that their managers actually cared about and were interested in their work"

This has nothing to do with remote work and 100% to do with good management. The study even said they changed up the physical environment (in 2023, means change to remote work) and productivity even increased when they felt their managers cared.

I make it a point to show up in person to events and shows. Generated a lot of sales from face to face interaction with customers and owners of other businesses who would buy my product.

Someone copied my product-I need a pep talk (alien.top)
 

I have an Etsy shop where I sell personalized 3d printed items for a niche community. Ive managed to make a good start and am hoping to move this into a full-time business. I have over a 1000 sales and hundreds of 5-star reviews.

I know my product would be very easy to replicate. After a year, I finally had it happen. I'm based in the US and the saving grace is they're in the UK. Now, the larger market is in the US, but I sell plenty in the UK. He copied pretty much everything he could, down to slightly changing the description of the listing.

I've tried to differentiate a bit with my creativity, design and networking. I am trying to use this as motivation to innovate and drive, but I feel a creeping panic that I am trying to fight off.

Someone help me with a good pep talk and advice before I break down!
