Beat! Crush! Kill! Yawn.
I just got yet another notice of a seminar about how to beat my competition to a bloody pulp. Sure, nobody makes money by sitting in a corner being polite. But, the “take no prisoners” approach is so outdated in our virtual marketplace. My competition today could well be my partner tomorrow. In fact, I often ally with (or refer business to) people that could be perceived as rivals. Better for everyone - including my clients. My friend and colleague Roxanne has coined R2R (Rival to Rival) for this new era. There are many different niches out there - thanks to the connections made possible by technology - and enough business for everyone, if we’re really good at what we do. And, people are finding that “nice guys” can and do finish first.
