Why all the Business Competitions?

I don’t get the proliferation of Business Competitions I see lately.

Being in business means you are competing for the customer’s dollars. What other competition matters?

But consider that you’re not competing with “competitors” as much as you are competing FOR your customer’s trust and desire for the value you provide. I’ve said before that business is like sex not like war. It’s just that the result is profit not babies.

About the author

John Seiffer

I've been an entrepreneur since we were called Business Owners. I opened my first company in 1979 - the only one that ever lost money. In 1994 I started coaching other business owners dealing with the struggles of growth. In 1998 I became the third President of the International Coach Federation. (That's a story for another day.) Coaching just the owners wasn't enough for some. So I began to do organizational coaching as well. Now I don't have time to work with as many companies as I'd like, so I've packaged my techniques into this Virtual CEO Boot Camp.
