How You'll Beat Your Business Competitors
- Imagine a frickin gi-nourmous mountain.
- Every step that you take gets you higher up the mountain.
Now, imagine racing Schmo.d.bobo up that mountain:
- Every step Schmo.d.bobo takes that you don't take gets him 1 step further ahead.
- (And vice-versa.)
Business is akin to a game of racing up that mountain to service Customers X at the top.
- The more steps you take over Schmo.d.bobo, the likelier you'll pull further ahead.
- And take your humongous share of customers.
K. Anders Ericsson, a performance expert at Florida State found through his research that those who excelled at their crafts simply had this distinguishing variable:
- They put in more practice time than the rest.
Chessmasters destroyed their competitors because they had more practice time.
The #%@%#@ conclusion? The more time you put into your work, the likelier you'll pull away.
Steps. Steps. Steps.

I've met a lot of people on the Internet who think there is such a thing as easy money. These are the sorts of people who don't want to work hard, or refuse to put any time or effort into anything.
To achieve anything takes time, and just as you put it; the more you put in, the more you are going to get out.

You don't know how many MLM scams I still run into. It's laughable.

i agree misty, the internet is crawling with people who don't want to work for their money. i'm even on job boards where people claim to be desperate for money but then say that a job is too much work or is "too difficult for the amount of pay" when one is offered. it's mind blowing.
they refuse to put the effort in and improve so that they can earn.

I like this post.You have to do things to improve at them, and the more you do them, the more you improve.
It seems like common sense, but some people are just unwilling to understand that.When I start up on a new task that's difficult I remind myself repeatedly that my potential with the project will blossom as I get more practice and it keeps me going!

It is definitely all about practice and effort. The more work you put into something the better you'll be at it.
From there you can increase your productivity and you can pull away from your competition.

This is a good one...it is true the more time and effort you put into your work the more you'll pull away from your competition...
Nothing is easy and when people realize that they'll be able to become more successful...

To beet your competitors, I have another strategy, which is called: "Love your competitors"
Always try to help them, be transparent about your policies, give them out all the information they need to succeed, all info that you used is available anyway. Save their time, give them a hand.
It generally confuses them though :-)

misspell - read "beat" in my first sentence - sorry about that
