The beauty of every business owner is that his or her business at the end of the day is successful and hit that top level which is desired of. Nobody wants a stagnated business. It will be a great calamity if that is run. But in the process, I have come to discover that desire is not always enough to cause a change, most especially positive change.
I tell you if the desire is enough, then the majority of us will have gotten to a high level we might not have imagined of. It takes determination and making use of some basic principles and even some strategies needed. Inside the strategies lie the tools for us to succeed if only our eyes can open to it and we can realise it earlier. Today I will be talking about a powerful tool that can either make your business successful or the other way around but it depends on how you use it and that is the tool of competition.
I know that we have heard a lot about competition in a business and most of the time the disadvantages have been focused more when talking about it in society than the advantage. One thing I firmly believe in is whatever that have advantage also have disadvantages. If our society can so much focus on the disadvantages of competition that we fail to realise that competition also have advantage. I believe you know the competition I am talking about. That feeling whereby in a business, another brand is building or offering the same services you are rendering to people. Let's say for example the competition that exists in petroleum filling stations or people who sell the same bags and shoes. The competition is so high in those areas that you just need to be Unique.
I know we might have heard about as a result of competition, it has driven many people to take drastic Decision that has affected their lives and even their businesses because they want to be like someone who they think is getting success in that aspect of their business or because they want to outshine him or her. I see competition as a valuable tool because it can push you to do great and mighty things. When you begin to see that another brand is offering the same services or goods you are offering and, the other person is even offering it at a better quality than yours which is driving a lot of customers to them.
When you noticed you are into your business doing it very well and then suddenly, there arises a competitor from somewhere that is about to gain that attention from your business or has already gain. The truth of the matter is that should not get you angry.
What you just need to do is to see it as something that should motivate you to up your game and standard. If someone started a business you are into and suddenly gain success beyond which the one you have, what you should do is try to learn from that person's success and then try to build it up for your own.
You will need to be unique. Try to maximise it. Try to search in your business what you felt you might not be doing right and adjust. It might be the way you brand your business name or even the way you satisfy your customer, see the competition as a valuable tool for you to up your game. Never see it as a strive to the point whereby hatred will set in. Most businesses that we see at the top and we celebrate now because they pick one or two few tips from their counterpart who are even in the same business they are into. They just work on the restructuring and they offer something more unique than them and at the end of the day, it turns out to work wonders for them.
When next you are confronted with competition in your business, I strongly believe what you should do is not give up thinking you have lost the battle and don't see it from the point of hating your counterparts. No, see it as something you can learn from and be better
