“Mirror, mirror on the wall who’s my greatest competitor
of them all?” Mirror, “It's You!” By Paul
Brough
Your #1 competitor is you! The mirror is right. The mirror speaks the truth. Unfortunately, for most of us, the mirror’s response is hard to digest. Before you throw down, smashing, the truth-telling mirror, hear it out. In doing so, you could learn how to defeat your greatest competitor and succeed.
It’s so easy to play the blame card when things go wrong. And when things go south, the excuses start flowing faster than water over Niagara Falls. It’s the economy fault. It’s the fault of changing demographics. It’s the fault of new competition entering into the market. It’s our employee's fault. It’s all Amazon’s fault.

luxury of sales managers who have never been trained in the best practices of their profession.

Over the years I have studied why companies
went bankrupt. In every case, it wasn't their competitors that put them in the grave. They buried themselves. I dug deeper - no pun intended - on why companies went bankrupt and found in every case there was one sinister thing that flatlined them all. Sadly, not one of today’s failing company’s executives is addressing ONE THING.
ONE THING
caused Block Busters, Circuit City, Kodak, and Enron to file for bankruptcy. Their competitors didn’t cause them to fail. It was them. More specifically, it was ONE THING inside their organizations. This ONE THING is the same thing that’s causing retailers to fail. What is the ONE THING?
Fear.
Blockbusters executives were brought the Red Box concept before it came out. They were too afraid to move forward with the idea because they thought it would cannibalize their stores. Kodak came out with the first digital camera years before anyone else, but their executives were too afraid to capitalize off their tremendous head-start. Circuit City executives went into a
