Of course, the Lord had some pretty bad things to say about the person who was so afraid of losing that he did not compete, but he just buried the talents. So I think that we can learn from the Biblical story that we’re supposed to share and we’re not supposed to just hoard. It’s a hoarding mentality that says, “I don’t want to help anybody else,” or “I don’t want to share with anybody else, because I’m afraid they might take from me.”
People need to stop thinking of competition as a negative. A lot of people use competition as their excuse for never getting started. “Well, there’s competition, I can never make it, so I’ll just never even get started.”
Other companies look at competition as a positive thing – there’s a company out there already, how do we compete with them? How do we make our products better? How do we compete with price? How do we compete with service? They look at it as a positive, find out what their competition is doing, and they try to give more to their customers.
That’s really what America was built upon – competition. It makes companies better. It makes them perform better. It makes our products better. So don’t look at it as a negative and something to be worried about. Look at it as something that is positive and can help your web site, and your products, and your pricing, and everything better.
