Compete vs. Create:





Consider these definitions:



Compete: To contend with another or others for a

prize, superiority, etc. Syn. vie, rival,

contest, oppose.



Create: To cause to come into existence; originate.

To be the cause of; bring about. Syn. make,

fashion, form, produce, conceive, invent,

build.



Which One Describes Your Business Approach?





Do you feel that you must compete with other businesses?

Do you strive to conquer the competition? Do you think

that you need to have an edge over the competition?



Take a look at all the businesses out there! How on earth

can You compete with them all? Answer: You don't! You

can't! Period!



So why do we listen to statements made about winning out

over the competition? Because we have come to believe that

in order to have it all and be successful, we need to

compete and win to get the top spot. We have the notion

that there is not enough success or money to go around,

so we must beat down whatever or whoever gets in our way

in order to have success.



To compete with someone, we have to vie with him or her for

the top spot. Once that top spot is gained (if it ever

is), we cannot stop! There is always someone

just waiting to contend with us to take that spot away.



It is almost certain. If we are only spending our time

competing with others for success, someday, someone is

going to defeat us for that success. Then someday

it will happen to them, and so on.



Champions that have won the top prize will be replaced

by someone else who is faster, better or smarter. It

always happens and it always will. We are left sitting

in the dust, wondering what happened!?!



The notion of competition is futile nonsense when it comes

to our personal or business success. Look at the universe

around us. There is plenty of everything to go around

without taking it away from someone else. We live in a

bountiful world. We do not need to stress out over

trying to overthrow the competition to gain success.



We only need to be creative and produce our very own

success. Not try and steal it away from someone else.

Sure we can watch and learn from those around us who

are successful, and we should, but we don't need to

attempt to overcome them.



We only need to find our creative vision of success and

keep it steadfast in our minds, then set about the process

of making that vision happen. There are plenty of customers

out there for our product, business or whatever. If we

use our original creativity, sooner or later, they will

find us!



We need to find our own way!



When we "create" our business with our very own set of

skills, interests, etc., we are creating something

of our very own that no one can take away. It is solely

ours.



We need to take the creative approach to business in order

to make our own place in the world of business a success.



We do not need to seek after anything that is possessed

by someone else. We should be using our creativity to

cause that which we want to be CREATED!



Inspiration for this article came from a book that was

written in 1910. You can download this book for free at:

I recommend anyone who is serious about his or her success to

download it and read it over and over!
