Don’t compete, dominate

Day 193 / 365

“I came, I saw, I conquered”

This is another little lesson I learned from the audiobook “The 10X Rule” by Grant Cardone. In the chapter about competition, Grant says that the idea of a “Healthy Competition” goes against the 10X Rule, as it inherently leads to mediocre or average efforts.

When we try to compete, we look at what others are doing and then work towards doing the same. More often then not, we’ll find ourselves in the middle, amongst the average.

On the other hand, if you come with the mindset of dominating, not competing, instead of copying what others are doing, you do the opposite. You try to find something that no one else is doing, something that will allow you to disrupt whatever space you are in.

While competing limits our imagination, dominating makes it wide open. If you want to dominate, then the sky is the limit.

“If competition is healthy, then domination is immunity!”

People who ignore the competition and work hard to dominate, are the ones who end up on top.
