Competition In Business

Published: Dec. 28, 2020, midnight

Healthy competition in business is a great thing! It keeps us fresh and hungry and pushes us to always do better. As John Paul explains in this week's show, there's no need to feel negative about rivals in your field. KEY TAKEAWAYS People often get annoyed when a competitor sets up camp, assuming that they'll lose business if their product or idea is diluted in some way. Remember that once upon a time, you were the competitor. Contrary to popular belief, competition can actually draw in more customers. If you have a competitor nearby, it encourages your area as the hub for that product or service. The more people that compare you to someone else, the harder you'll find yourself trying in order to be better. Competition pushes us to be the best!  BEST MOMENTS 'You were once that guy opening up' 'Competition is healthy. It's not to be feared' ABOUT THE HOST John Paul Reilly is a dyslexic business man who left school just before his 16th birthday, barely able to read and write, to the point that at exam time one of the teachers had to read the questions out to him (and then write down his answers). Written off, like most kids who struggled at school, and being told by his woodwork teacher he was “nothing, and would amount to nothing” he now runs a multi award-winning company in the construction industry . A loud but shy person who knew he wanted to achieve great things with no clue what business he wanted to do but knew that’s what he wanted. With his first business started at age 14, to now, he has learned most things the hard way. Now the owner of multiple business with one being multi award winning, John Paul has been in business over many years sharing what he has learned over this time mainly the hard way.
