Destroy The Competition

I agree. From my experience most of the successful guys will not want to do business with you unless you have some form of credibility or you pay them. So, when you focus on becoming the best and you end up becoming somewhat successful, at some point that normally opens up opportunities for joint-ventures and such with other successful guys.

Agreed. Money is not in shortage and neither is success, but if you want to be successful you need to focus on being the best in your field. A lot of people jump into business and they want to stay under the radar and behind-the-scenes, and although that does work for some people, it also puts a limit on your potential and the amount of success you could achieve for yourself, your business, and your customers.

I'm a competitive guy and there are other competitive people out there. This post is for them. There will always be an alternate perspective and I can only speak for what has worked for me. Although I'm a competitive guy I don't go around attacking anyone and trying to bring others down, but I simply ask myself, "How can I create a better product, service, and experience than my competitors?"

He Odahh sounds like an interesting gig. I might be in Las Vegas later this month so we might bump into each other haha.

Anyway, to answer your question, I look at my competitors' services and my clients' problems and I figure out how I can create the best solution and experience in the market for my clients.

My goal is to make sure the value of my services outweigh the price of my services times 10. So, if someone is not willing to work with me because of price I know that either they just don't have the money or they're not truly committed and in those cases I wouldn't want to work with them especially if it's the latter case.

So, yes I'm competing with both my competitors and I'm competing for the attention of my clients. I believe if you focus on having the best value in comparison to your competitors and focus on creating that perception in the eyes of your prospects, you will have no choice but to prosper in your field.

Sometimes it's not having a certain mindset per se (as in something they have to develop) but a lack of "limiting beliefs/mindsets/etc". Many people for instance got undesirable programming about wealth and money while growing up.

the mentality and mindset for success ..depends on what you are actually doing ..same with willpower ..it takes a different mindset and mental strength ..to be a pro body builder ..verse a comedian..verse a successful real estate developer ..and on and on ..

yes most every successful person has goals..but what never get talked about..is just how many goals they set that don't happen ..

there are a lot more people are are successful and happy..but not living the life so you can tell ..my mentor had many business around the country..and a good amount of money in the bank..but he did what i am doing now and lived in a weekly apartment ..

now he got married to a woman he new for a week..spend 80 grand on a truch and a travel trailor and the gear to travel..and they are somewhere now ..haha ..

there are successfull people and then there is looking like successful people should look based on what the masses think successful people look life ..

granted there is a competition to look rich and you have billionairs or people with hundreds of millions of dollars who engage in many types of mines bigger competition ..but after a few millions dollars ..it is probably that kind of competition that drives people..just look at trump ..
