In
life, we strive and do whatever it takes to succeed, but in doing so
we are missing the most important factor that every businessman must
think of... WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!
The business world is
filled with people we meet with different types of business,
different products to sell but mostly we meet people who are involved
in the same genre of business as ourselves. It's a natural tendency
because where we work is where we focus our time and
attention.
Sometimes we’re helping each other in a
synergistic way and other times we’re competing for the same dollar
from the same customer and this is natural result of the free market
we enjoy.
Nobody's perfect! This old age saying applies not
only to a person, but also to a product or services offered. No one
lays claim to having a perfect product nor a perfect service, it
simply has to have imperfections with it.
Having said that, we
must always remind ourselves of the possibility that someone might be
ahead of us, behind us, and often time both at the same
time.
Nevertheless, we shouldn't let that be a hindrance nor a
distraction from continuing forward with what we believe in. Instead,
embrace the reality that competition is everywhere and this healthy
competition is what drives and makes us better tomorrow than what we
have today.
Sure, there will always be those that cut a few
corners to cheat the system for a quick leg up on their competitors
but those with Dark desires always end up in a losing
battle.
Remember during Elementary, High School and College
days we get to have our class Valedictorian, Cum Laude etc. Yet these
titles never guaranteed our future success in business just as not
winning these awards doomed us to a life of 2nd tier
failure.
Because in business, it is not intelligence alone
that creates our spot in the limelight. Determination, courage, guts
and persistence are usually the factors that win in the end. Just
making the decision to get up and head to the office one more
Saturday and Sunday is often the difference between the winning and
losing.
Its a game we grumble about but how we play the game
makes all the difference and we cannot forget that in our world,
there are 2 sides to everything. Sportsmanship on the field, in the
workplace, and in business is what sets you apart so even if success
doesn’t come your way the first time around, playing the game the
right way will always present you with a second chance.
There’s
no doubt you’re going to lose a few rounds but this journey has
plenty of road to recover so you can celebrate the rounds you
win.
