Many of you are scared that someone is going to steal your idea, copy your business model, or knock off your products.

For some, like Saddleback Leather Co., who operate a productacracy, you instead make Youtube videos instructing others on how to better knock off your products (all the while showing off your incredible craftsmanship).

I encourage you to watch this 10 minute video, you'll get some laughs, and you'll see a fine example of what goes into making a Quality product.
