Competition Is Good for You

0:00is if you're a founder who's plagued with competition and being upset about it. I was one too and I want to tell you how I got over it. So number one is think about the alternative which is that no one copies you because no one cares about what you're doing. Well then it would be a requisite for success that people will copy you. So as long as you are successful this is just a part of business.

0:20The the second piece is by definition if someone copies you they are second. Period. And so if you want to lead, you can't look at anyone else. You have to consistently be deriving the next step, the step six that's unseen from your first five steps to innovate rather than I'm just going to parrot the next thing. And as soon as you find yourself copying, you have admitted defeat.

0:47You've admitted that you were no longer the leader and that you were just following in someone else's footsteps and you're giving them the baton and saying, "You be the champion. I'm happy with second, third, fifth place." And in a winner take all world like attention is all the fruits go to the first place. Anyways, real quick, I'm going to show you the exact 10-stage road map from zero to 100 million plus that less than 1% of companies finish. I've now done multiple times. And so I can say with a lot of confidence that these are the stages as headcount increases that you need to get through. And I broke each of these down by eight different functions of the business. What the constraint feels like, like what are the symptoms of it when you're going through it and then what steps we actually took to graduate. And we've done this across software, physical products, uh, service businesses, brick and mortar, all of this, and it works. And it's my gift to you. It's absolutely free.
