Don't Compete. COLLABORATE! The Real Secret to Exponential Growth!

Competition is healthy, but most often, it is handled in cut-throat style - which is VERY UNHEALTHY!  No one wins in a cut-throat competitive environment, not even the consumer!  On the surface, it manifests in dirt cheap prices, and the consumer seems to win as a result - however, that win comes at a very high price they feel on the back end - piss poor customer service, inferior products, and undelivered promises.

Competion can and should raise the bar, not tank it in the toilet!  Healthy competition will cause entrepreneurs to upgrade the value they offer at the price offered, and frankly - that healthy competition tends to show up when collaboration is encouraged.

"Collaboration is a very healthy think tank experience. A mastermind of peers wanting to upgrade and uplift others around them."  Trudy Beerman

Collaboration leads to pooling of resources, a celebration of best practices, and a sharpening of brilliant minds to even higher levels.

Collaboration is why doctors meet at conferences to share medical breakthroughs with others in the field.  Collaboration is why news in one part of the world is shared in others.  Collaboration is how animals survive in family groups.

Just because there are 1 million songs on love on the radio does not mean I should not write my song.   

I guarantee, if I gave 10 leaders in the same genre the same speaking title, and a list of the same 5 points I wanted them to cover, all 10 speeches would be very different.  However, knowing that 9 other speakers are going to speak on the same topic means all 10 speakers will work harder to deliver their best performance.  THIS IS THE WIN WIN WIN! A win for the listener, a win for the speakers, and a win for the inviting organization. 

Change how you view your peers, and grow!  Collaborate people!
