045 Why competitors are good

Welcome to this episode of the Fail Forward podcast discussing learning to love your competitors.    I once heard someone exclaim that they would prefer their business failed than spend time in the same space as their biggest competitor.   That’s a whole load of negative energy and emotion being expended in a completely pointless way. Competition always has, and always will, exist.    And I think that’s an amazing thing!   Why?   Have a listen to this episode and I’ll challenge you to consider, wIthout competition what drives you to innovate? To be better? To create innovative solutions?   How do you stop yourself becoming complacent?   I also share how one of my MAIN competitors became the lifeline I needed when I lost my business.    Find out why you need to find yourself some “competi-mates” and embrace all the great stuff that can come from doing so.    And if you’re a Southampton FC fan - there’s definitely food for thought for you!   Listen now and if you need any feedback or inspiration, I’d love to hear from you. My inboxes are open and I’m happy to help you understand how to create a plan that will move you towards your goals.    If you’re enjoying the Fail Forward podcasts, follow me on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn for all the latest on my mission to help business owners Fail Forward.    Facebook https://www.facebook.com/failforwardhenri LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/henri-ghijben-539132101/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@failforward12 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/henrighijben/
